Cement seawall at Nim Shu Wan

The lack of arable land and quality soil raised concerns for KAAA who, in 1955, devised a development plan in cooperation with Nim Shu Wan villagers. The village was issued with cement to construct seawalls and a pier to protect vegetation from sea damage and improve the transportation of produce and farming necessities respectively.
