2023-07-18

Recently, the People's Daily's "Looking at Guangdong Along the Coastal Line" interview team walked into Zhanjiang Mazhang and Maoming Dianbai. Here, they focused on the restoration of wild mangroves and the cultivation of artificial mangroves, shuttling through the lush sea oxygen bars. The reporter deeply felt that the concept of green development permeated everywhere from the shore to the water. The total length of the Zhanjiang coastline is 2325.9 kilometers, with over 9000 hectares of mangrove forests distributed along the winding coastline, accounting for 33% of the national mangrove area. Zhanjiang Mangrove National Nature Reserve is intermittently distributed along the 1556 km coastline of Leizhou Peninsula, with a total area of 20278.8 hectares, which is the largest among the six national mangrove reserves on land in China. The advantaged mangroves have become an important tool for improving the urban environment. Mazhang District of Zhanjiang, located in the southwest of Guangdong Province, is close to the South China Sea and has unique and rich marine tourism resources. The coast is about 81 kilometers long, and the sea area is 300000 mu, including 100000 mu of shallow mudflat. It has an excellent environment suitable for mangrove growth. ▲ Mangrove in Choi Uk Tsuen, Mazhang District. Peng Zhenqiang pointed out that "historically, the Mazhang mangrove forest has been greatly damaged due to the reclamation of land from the sea and other acts contrary to the laws of nature." Peng Zhenqiang, chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles of Mazhang District, told reporters that in recent years, with the gradual popularity of the green concept, people are also paying more and more attention to the protection of mangroves. Nowadays, many villages along the coast of Mazhang District have formulated village rules and regulations. They are not allowed to cut down mangroves or cultivate mangroves for breeding. The mangrove ecology has gradually recovered and the area is increasing year by year. "Mazhang District is also planning to restore and plant mangroves in several areas to further repair the mangrove belt that has been damaged, which is a welcome phenomenon," said Peng Zhenqiang. ▲ Jinniu Island Mangrove Forest, Shiqiao Village, Mazhang District. Peng Zhenqiang said, "Nowadays, the area of mangroves in the world is decreasing year by year, but the area of mangroves in Zhanjiang is increasing against the trend, which is called a successful example of wetland restoration in the world by international wetland experts." The relevant person in charge of the Natural Resources Bureau of Mazhang District introduced to the reporter that, on the one hand, Mazhang strengthened the publicity and education of mangrove resource protection, popularized the knowledge of mangrove resource protection, and guided the cadres and masses of the whole district to establish the concept of ecological civilization, Enhance citizens' awareness of protecting mangrove resources, especially focusing on cultivating awareness of protecting young people; On the other hand, Mazhang District strengthened the management of the Reserve. In principle, human activities are prohibited in the core area of the Reserve, and human activities are properly controlled around the Reserve. Strike with iron fists on one side, and severely crack down on illegal behaviors that damage the ecology; On the other hand, scientific planning and scientific demonstration should be carried out to actively carry out the restoration of mangroves, and the results of governance should be broken through. In addition, the government of Mazhang District, together with Zhanjiang Mangrove Management Bureau and other departments, has carried out mangrove artificial afforestation and ecological restoration through the cleared aquaculture ponds. A total of 4200 mu of new mangroves have been planted. At present, the survival rate of mangroves is high and they are growing well. Today, as an important part of Zhanjiang Mangrove National Nature Reserve, Mazhang District Mangrove Reserve now covers 21% of the city, 16% of the province and 7% of the country.
