On the north side of Xiaoyaozhou Island in Guangdong Province, on the semi submersible truss aquaculture platform of "Gesheng No.1", a sound of "net lifting" was heard, and plump and strong Zhanghong fish were lifted out of the sea with the fishing net, splashing waves. Drone feeding, robotic arm fishing, intelligent management... Du Bing, Deputy General Manager of Zhuhai Gesheng Technology Co., Ltd., said that after more than 7 months of careful feeding, the first batch of large-scale trial raised Zhanghong fish fry have an average weight of over 8 pounds per individual, and it is expected to harvest about 100000 pounds. Developed in Guangzhou, built in Dongguan, put into operation in Zhuhai, and fish fry breeding in Zhanjiang, "Gesheng No.1" gathers advantageous industrial resources from all over the country. It only took more than 7 months from construction to delivery. As of now, Guangdong Province has started over a hundred marine ranch projects with a total investment of over 20 billion yuan, jointly building about 6000 gravity deep-water net cages and 11 truss style aquaculture platforms. In April 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection in Guangdong: "We need to strengthen the coordination of land and sea, mutual assistance between mountains and seas, enhance the overall layout of ports, industries, and cities, strengthen marine ecological protection, and comprehensively build a strong marine province." We will thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, optimize the development pattern of the marine economy in Guangdong, promote marine scientific and technological innovation, and accelerate the cultivation and growth of modern marine industries such as marine pastures, marine energy, port industry, and marine tourism. Industrial coordination, drawing a strategic ocean "roadmap" - Guangdong continuously improves its marine spatial planning system, gradually forming a development pattern of point based development and moderate agglomeration of marine economy. The shipbuilding industry in Guangzhou, Jiangmen and other places, the marine electronic information industry in Shenzhen, Dongguan and other places, the marine equipment manufacturing industry in Shanwei, Zhuhai and other places, the marine farms and offshore wind power projects in Zhanjiang, Yangjiang and other places... Along the more than 4000 kilometers of coastline, the marine industries of 14 coastal cities in Guangdong have their own characteristics, forming a chain of beads. Most shipbuilding companies' orders are scheduled for after 2028 Zhang Zhijun, General Manager of Guangdong Guangli Shipbuilding Engineering Co., Ltd., said. The Longxue Shipbuilding Base in Nansha District, Guangzhou has an annual shipbuilding capacity of over 5.5 million deadweight tons and an output value of over 40 billion yuan. In December 2024, the world's largest single capacity floating wind power platform, the Mingyang Tiancheng, was officially put into operation in Yangjiang. This offshore wind power platform, which has achieved multiple "world firsts", was installed at the CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipyard in Guangzhou and built at the marine engineering base in Lufeng, Shanwei, achieving industrial synergy and win-win cooperation. Industrial upgrading, leading the "bull's nose" of technological innovation - Guangdong is building a source of marine technology and cultivating new quality marine productivity. A total of about 1.95 billion yuan of special funds have been allocated to support the research and development and achievement transformation of the six major marine industries, achieving more than 160 key technological breakthroughs and forming more than 210 new products and devices with independent intellectual property rights. Chen Youxiao, Assistant President of CIMC Ocean Engineering Co., Ltd., introduced: "Currently, we have achieved a leap from 0 to 100% in terms of independent intellectual property rights for offshore oil and gas production platforms." In 2024, Guangdong's total marine production value will exceed 2 trillion yuan, accounting for about 1/5 of the country's total marine production value, and the total marine economy will rank among the top in the country for 30 consecutive years. In recent years, a number of ocean "national treasures" have landed in Guangdong, including the ocean drilling vessel "Dream" and the cold spring ecosystem research device. At present, Guangdong has one State Key Laboratory and more than one hundred provincial-level research and development platforms related to the sea in the marine field, and the National Marine Comprehensive Test Field (Zhuhai) has launched the first batch of offshore tests.
