Over the last few decades, wetlands in the Inner Deep Bay area have been managed in conventional and traditional approaches, However, emerging environmental and social challenges—such as extreme weather events and labor shortages—have increasingly impacted wetland stewardship. This project integrates innovation and technology to tackle these wetland management challenges.
This project leverages cutting-edge technology to enhance wetland management through:
- researching I&T solutions for wetland monitoring, especially by introduction of wireless Internet of Things (IoT) sensors that can contribute to management and conservation of wetland landscape in Mai Po Nature Reserve (MPNR);
- establishing a wetland pilot site to validate the proof of concept by deploying wireless IoT sensors and remotely collecting wetland monitoring data; and
- analyzing collected data to assess the effectiveness and settings of IoT sensors applications and sharing experience to relevant stakeholders in the wetland stewardship community
