Seaweed Kingdom, Blue Pasture. On the world's rare shell sand beach, the dazzling galaxy and the "Blue Tears" wonder are in the same frame, making people indulge in a dreamy wonderland.
The Nanji Islands, located on the ** coastline of the East China Sea, have been popular in the circle recently with their "appearance and temperament". On World Wetlands Day on February 2 last year, Nanji Island ushered in another highlight moment: it was included in the list of wetlands of international importance, becoming the second world-class wetland in Zhejiang Province after Xixi Wetland. Subsequently, Nanji Island was also selected as the first batch of "Hemei Islands" in China and the second batch of "Beautiful Bays" in China with high scores.
Now, more than a year after it was upgraded to a "world-class" wetland, what has happened to Nanji Island, located in Pingyang County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province?
It has achieved the double improvement of 'appearance' and 'connotation'. The relevant person in charge of the Nanji Islands National Marine Nature Reserve Administration said that since last year, Nanji Island has comprehensively accelerated the protection of biodiversity, improved the appearance of the environment, and efficient social governance, and actively explored a new way of harmony between people and the sea and common prosperity.
The "ecological island" of the blue sea and silver beach
The mythical bird, hatched! "In June last year, between the sea and the sky, Nanji Island ushered in the birth of a critically endangered species, the Chinese crested tern. Surrounding the island, the birds chirp for a long time, like a dance of the blooming elves of the world.
Protect the "wet" and distant places, and draw an ecological picture. As the "treasure island" of Zhejiang, the Nanji Islands is one of the first five national marine nature reserves in China, and the first marine nature reserve in China to join the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves. At present, there are 2155 species of marine organisms, 393 species of fish, 422 species of shellfish, 186 species of macrobenthic algae, shellfish and macrobenthic algae account for 15 and 25 of the number of shellfish algae species in China respectively, accounting for about 80 of the number of shellfish algae species in Zhejiang Province, and it is the natural museum and gene bank of the main marine shellfish and algae in China.
We will make every effort to escort the ecological environment of Nanji and create an 'ecological island' of blue sea and silver beach. The relevant staff of the Nanji Reserve Administration said that since last year, they have successively compiled the "Restoration Plan for the Wetland of International Importance in the Nanji Islands in Pingyang, Zhejiang" and the "Plan for the International Important Wetlands in the Nanji Islands in Pingyang, Zhejiang", etc., which have clarified the overall requirements, spatial layout and key tasks of wetland protection in the Nanji Islands, and provided institutional guarantee for comprehensively strengthening the protection of wetlands in the Nanji Islands.
At the same time, we should vigorously carry out the integrated protection and ecological restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grasslands and sands, such as the island plant protection (phase I) project, which will effectively enhance the ecological self-restoration ability of the Nanji Reserve and improve the stability of the ecosystem in the land area and surrounding sea areas of the Nanji Islands by cleaning up harmful plants, tree pest control, and bare hillside or mountain vegetation.
Among them, the most attention-grabbing is that Nanji carried out the restoration of bird resources, and launched the research project of breeding habitat construction and attraction of Chinese crested terns.
In addition, the Pingyang County People's Court, the Pingyang County Natural Resources and Planning Bureau and other units have also taken multiple measures to increase efforts to solidly promote the protection of the local ecological environment.
A "science and technology island" integrating "sea, land and air".
You see, 403 species of shellfish and 174 species of algae have been monitored under the water of Huyu Island. "Recently, the subtidal zone monitoring and blue carbon digital platform of biodiversity on Nanji Island has been officially put into operation, and the staff can view the changes of underwater biological species and equipment in real time through the monitoring screen.
To focus on ecological protection, we must first find out the bottom line and be able to grasp the status of biodiversity in real time. To this end, in recent years, Nanji Island has actively leveraged science and technology to continue to promote the "digital" construction of scientific research, establish and improve an integrated digital application platform, and realize the integration, visualization and intelligent law enforcement management and biodiversity monitoring of "air, space, ground and sea", so that ecological monitoring has a "clairvoyance" and "ears".
In addition, the reserve has also successively created a provincial postdoctoral research workstation, Wenzhou academician expert workstation and other scientific research platforms, built the Nanji Marine Scientific Research Center, and continued to strengthen the cooperation with various scientific research institutions (institutes) "production, education, research and application". Actively play the natural education function of the marine nature reserve, open up the chain of "scientific research - popular science", build the Nanji Marine Science and Education Museum, and build a large-scale intertidal biological intelligent identification system in the Nanji Islands, and has completed the database construction and system research and development, with an overall test and identification accuracy of 901%。
"Penfold Island", where people and sea coexist in harmony
Coo, coo, coo, ......In the evening, in the breeding base of the Huihai fishery of Nanji Island, the large yellow croaker that had just been caught ashore showed its golden belly, kept jumping, and dozens of workers sorted it neatly. -60 Quick-frozen, cold chain packaging and processing of large yellow croaker will be shipped to Hema stores in 8 cities including Shanghai, Hangzhou and Nanjing.
It not only lives on the sea, but also symbiosis with the sea. In recent years, the reserve has actively explored the mechanism of "co-construction, co-management and sharing" of wetlands, so that the people of Nanji Islander can truly enjoy the benefits brought by the transformation of ecological and environmental value, and effectively form an island development road with sea-land linkage and integration of fishing and tourism.
It is reported that through standardized management, technical exchanges and resource sharing, the cultivation of large yellow croaker has realized the transformation from scattered family workshops to cluster standardized farming. At present, the sea area of large yellow croaker aquaculture has reached 1,500 acres, with an annual output value of 3300 million yuan, which can provide hundreds of jobs for the villagers in Nanji Town and its surrounding areas every year, such as sales, breeding and fishing, and directly drive the islanders to increase their income and become rich.
A fish revitalizes an island. The large yellow croaker has also been transformed and upgraded from a simple aquaculture industry to the whole industrial chain. In the midsummer of last year, the Nanji Island Ocean Pastoral Fishing Tourism Experience Park was officially put into operation, launching the Big Yellow Croaker Cultural Festival, launching the Yellow Croaker Banquet and other activities, attracting thousands of tourists and gradually becoming an Internet celebrity check-in point for the integration of fishing and tourism.
