The latest proposed reclamation extends along the waterfront from [[Sheung Wan]] to [[Causeway Bay]] faced public opposition, as the harbour has become a pivotal location to Hongkongers in general. Activists have denounced the government's actions as destructive not only to the natural environment, but also to what is widely considered as one of the most prized natural assets of the territory. [[Nongovernmental organisation|NGO]]s, including the [[Society for Protection of the Harbour]], were formed to resist further attempts to reduce the size of the waterbody, with its chairman, [[Christine Loh]], quoted as saying that the harbour "...is a precious national asset and we must preserve it for future generations. I believe an insightful and visionary Chief Executive would support our stance and work with us to protect the harbour".<ref>Harbourprotection.
