Hong Kong group focused on protecting Victoria Harbour disbands after 30 years


An advocacy group that has fought to protect Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour for nearly 30 years has announced its disbandment more than two months after the government amended a law which the organisation said may pave the way for large-scale reclamation.

The Society for Protection of the Harbour said on Friday that it had ceased operations the day before, after the Legislative Council approved changes to the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance in May.
