Mangroves improve the ecological environment of the bay and are a habitat paradise for rare species. They are becoming a beautiful business card for the ecological construction of green and beautiful Guangdong and a "green engine" for high-quality development in Guangdong. In 2021, Zhanjiang sounded the call to build a "city of mangroves" and strengthened the overall protection of mangrove ecology. With the deepening of the construction of "Mangrove City", Zhanjiang has taken the lead of "Green and Beautiful Guangdong" to accelerate the construction of ecological civilization. From March to June this year, the Communist Youth League of Zhanjiang Municipal Party Committee, together with the Propaganda Department of Zhanjiang Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Education Bureau and the Municipal Culture, Radio, Tourism and Sports Bureau, carried out the selection of youth ambassadors for the "Mangrove City" in Zhanjiang in 2023. The event accepted the registration and participation of more than 3000 teenagers from the city, and conducted 19 auditions, ultimately selecting 12 "Mangrove City" youth ambassadors and 30 "Mangrove City" youth preaching groups.
