This website serves as an educational tool to visualize species records from ecological surveys conducted in the Tolo Harbour and Channel (the Tolo area) over three years as part of the Ting Kok+ project funded by the Environment and Conservation Fund , as well as data from other ecological studies and surveys conducted in the Tolo area going back as far as the 1970s.
