Shenzhen "Forest in the Sea" cares for the gorgeous coral world of the sea

On the beach of Dapeng New District Daao Bay, Jinsha accompanied the waves into a bay jade belt, and the sea water was clear.

Yang Xiaozhou, who had gathered in South Australia, had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the early morning of Nan'ao Dai. The shore was replaced and sailed by boat. There was no extra movement. Coral conservation work.

Breakthrough key technology

Repair the coral reef over 15 hectares

The dawn of silver and white gradually became brown, and the divers who had arrived at the destination to the destination jumped into the water one by one. There were nearly 40 acres of coral conservation areas, meat -flat brain corals, orange -yellow corals, shield -shaped gyro corals and other colors and colors of colors and colors each color and color each The strange coral swaying in the seawater, the coral reefs, the symbiotic silk butterfly fish, Bangladesh bean bean fish, tail spotted gill fish and many other accompanying sanitarian fish through them. Against the sparkling waves, it looks like a fairyland.

As the largest outline of the intestinal animal door, the coral door, the coral outline, has more than 7,000 types. Coral reefs composed of a large number of coral worm corpses are the "cornerstone" of the coral reef ecosystem. The coral reef ecosystem is called "underwater tropical rain forest", which is of great significance for maintaining biodiversity, protecting fishery resources, and developing tourism and tourism.

"Looking at the bottom of the sea, the" forest "slowly appeared in front of me, this moment is also what I enjoyed the most." Yang Xiaozhou worked at the coral and coral reef biological breeding research center at the Shenzhen Research Institute of Guangzhou Ocean University. In a month, he and his colleagues will go to the sea about 10 to 15 days, depending on the weather of the month. In addition to planting and conservation corals, they also need to clean up garbage such as fishing nets and plastic bottles. At the right time, they will also do some coral picking work. Every time I go to the sea, it is usually a whole day.

According to statistics, there are currently 23 corals and 10 kinds of coral reef fish in the sea area of ​​Dapeng New District. Among them, the coral species recorded in the survey are stone corals, all of which are national secondary protection animals. Beginning in 2015, the Shenzhen Research Institute of Guangdong Ocean University officially carried out research on the application technology of coral reef ecological restoration, breaking through key technologies of the large -scale underwater cultivation and in -situ planting of stone corals, and formed a number of technologies such as coral gardening artificial cultivation, artificial coral reef reimbursement, and other technologies. , Achieved significant results. Coral repair technology is widely used in Guangdong, Hainan and other places. Among them, more than 60,000 corals are planted in the waters of Shenzhen, and the area of ​​coral reef has exceeded 15 hectares. After years of hard work, the coral coverage rate in Shenzhen waters has increased compared with the area of ​​2015 census. 5%, increased coral coverage and biological diversity in repairing areas.

Don't underestimate this 5%, because the growth of corals will be affected by many factors of water quality and water temperature, and it is very difficult to repair.

National Marine Ranch

Will open construction in Dapeng New District

In 2020, the research team of Shenzhen Research Institute of Guangdong University of Ocean University for the first time in the artificial scale of stone corals cultivated by the Dapeng Bay Sea in Shenzhen for the first time, which further promoted the research of stone coral sexual reproduction technology. At the same time, they also carried out the construction of stone coral germplasm resources, which cultivated more than 100 stone coral species indoors, which laid the foundation for the construction of the South China Sea Coral Genior Resource Library. step. To this day, Shenzhen's coral conservation work has formed a relatively mature system. At the end of this year, Dapeng Bay National Ocean Ranch will be opened in Dapeng New District. This is also the first marine pasture in the country with the theme of coral maintenance. Essence

On September 20, the third national coral day event was launched in the Dapeng New District of Shenzhen. Li Yanliang, president of the Aquatic Wildlife Protection Branch of the China Wildlife Protection Association, said in his speech that there are 990 kinds of aquatic wild protection animals in the country, of which corals are It accounts for 608 species, involving large number of species, heavy protection tasks, and severe situations. I hope to use the social influence of coral days across the country to let more people understand corals and protect corals, thereby protecting the ocean and protecting the environment. The Tencent Charity Foundation and Shenzhen Radio and Television Public Welfare Foundation also jointly launched the "Dapeng Bay Coral Reef Repair" public welfare project. 4000 stone corals.

The boat is a horse, and the fishing and fishing. The construction of the National Marine Ranch of Dapeng Bay will help solve the contradiction between the sustainable use of fishery resources and the protection of marine ecological protection, and provide the "Shenzhen model" for creating a green and sustainable marine ecological environment.
