For a period of approximately 7 months, an acoustic monitor will be temporarily established on the seabed [south of Sha Chau] in the following location (WGS 84 Datum):

Location (A)
22 deg. 20.295’N / 113 deg. 53.918’E

The acoustic monitor is an instrument for collecting dolphin data. It is a structure of pyramid shape with a height of about 0.8 metre and a square base of 1.0 metre by 1.0 metre.

Regular diving operations for retrieving data from and inspecting the acoustic monitor will be carried out by a work boat in the above location once every month. One guard boat will provide assistance.

The hours of works will be from 0700 to 1900 hours.

Vessels engaged in the operations will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations.

Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and keep clear of the location at slow speed, bearing in mind that there are divers working in the location.
