In 2000, Guangdong and Hong Kong formulated a 15-year water quality improvement plan for Deep Bay, with the target that by 2015 the total pollution load would not exceed the water body's self-purification capacity.
Starting from 2001, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department implemented an ecological baseline monitoring programme to systematically and continuously collect ecological and environmental data.
From 2001 to 2010, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department removed a total of more than 46,000 Sonneratia caseolaris and Sonneratia apetala trees.
The environmental impact assessment report for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Western Corridor was open for public inspection from September to October 2002, received one submission, and was approved in November of the same year.
To address the impact of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Western Corridor, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government began channel dredging and removal of Sonneratia in Mai Po in 2003.
In 2005, the SAR Government established a wetland park west of Mai Po in Tin Shui Wai, which is the largest wetland-themed park of its kind in Hong Kong.
To build the Sheung Shui to Lok Ma Chau spur line and Lok Ma Chau railway station, the Government designated 36.2 hectares of land in 2006 for wetland mitigation as compensation.
The overall compliance rate of the main water quality indicators in the Deep Bay area ranged from 20% to 40% in the 1990s, and from 40% to 60% between 2008 and 2017.
Between 2009 and 2010, the research team of Qiu Jianwen discovered a new species of the order Terebellida in the intertidal mudflats of the Mai Po Deep Bay wetlands.
According to statistics compiled by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department in 2009, the coverage of Spartina alterniflora on the mudflats around Pak Nai in Deep Bay reached 246 square metres.
From 2010 to 2016, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department removed a cumulative total of over 10,000 Sonneratia apetala plants in areas around Deep Bay, covering an area of up to 11 hectares.
According to observation records, during periods of falling water levels the overall number of waterbirds rose to twenty times the original, with the increase in egrets and waders being the most prominent.
Starting in 2012, the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society, together with fish pond operators, received funding to jointly implement a management agreement scheme.
This management agreement scheme includes a series of educational programmes, including a fish pond festival, guided tours, lectures, workshops and exhibitions.
The first phase of the reduction of the frontier closed area covered two areas, one from Mai Po to Lok Ma Chau Control Point and the other from Lin Ma Hang to Sha Tau Kok, with a total area of 740 hectares.
Factors hindering the works included heavy rain causing tunnel flooding, breakdowns of the tunnel boring machine, and difficulties arising from the West Kowloon Terminus and the Mai Po wetlands underground.
In 2015, this organisation launched a comprehensive survey of local wetland biodiversity, mobilising 450 citizen scientists to complete records of over 2,050 species of wildlife.
According to a report published by WWF Hong Kong in 2016, 87 cases of illegal pond filling were recorded in the Inner Deep Bay area over the preceding 24 years.
This Division is also responsible for ecological monitoring of the Mai Po Inner Deep Bay wetlands and for controlling international trade in endangered species.
