Project of Coastal Wetland Protection and Island Garbage Governance in Huludao, Liaoning Province
Baseline:
Biodiversity conservation value of the project site ?
After the association's 2018 "Huludao Wetland Bird Survey" Forestry Liang Xi Award and 2014 "Huludao City Wild Bird Survey and Protection Countermeasures" Municipal Science and Technology Progress Achievement Second Prize lasted six years to investigate the regional project research topics, the Dongsha River estuary wetland area is an important area for large winter migratory birds such as gray cranes, red-crowned cranes, bean geese and wild geese wintering in Huludao wintering, and the crane flock can reach up to 2,000 birds. The Dongshahe wetland is also an important feeding ground, with more than 300 summer migratory birds, white-rumped curlews and great curlew, and friendly marine coastal fishery farming provides an important food supplement for East Asian migratory birds. The project site is also an important breeding area for Western Pacific spotted seals in February and March every year.
The infrastructure construction completed by our organization at the project site to protect the local marine ecology ?
In recent years, the association has been carrying out mobile monitoring and patrol of the wetlands at the mouth of the Dongsha River; Successfully established the Dongsha River estuary wetland guardianship station and set up a full-time guardian and the establishment of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau; In the past two years, a number of projects and activities have been completed, such as beach clean-up for the protection of marine ecology, science and education for biodiversity conservation, and protection of spotted seals in Bohai Bay. The purpose is to protect the important coastal wetlands of Xingcheng, and map to the largest island in Liaodong Bay, more than 10 kilometers away from the coast of Dongsha River, the ecological protection of Juehua Island in Xingcheng City, as the association's short- and medium-term goal to realize the protection of multiple corridors on the coast and islands.
Problems:
Project points 1 Main issues ?
social problem ?
Liaoning's income is low, the concept of marine ecological protection is not strong, the awareness of marine endangered species protection is weak, and the sensitivity to environmental problems such as coastal garbage is not high. The construction of social organizations is backward, and it can be seen from the compulsory community organization incubation project of the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs this year that the construction of social service communities in local coastal villages and towns is at a low level.
ecological problem ?
Because the wetland at the mouth of the Dongsha River has not been listed as the coastal protection and management area of the Xingcheng government, the beach is full of garbage, and the white pollution is serious (see the picture above), and the illegal fish shed discharge from the adjacent sea area leads to the foul smell of the coastal tidal flats in summer.
Project points 2 Main issues ?
social problem ? Island teenagers ? Basically left behind children ? Lack of educational resources ?
Blank island protection land ? Island or indigenous environmental welfare activities are 0?
ecological problem ? As the largest island in Liaodong Bay, Juehua Island has a prominent environmental pollution problem, and the protection of the island is urgent, and the protection of the island is also at the right time. At the end of 2021, Juehua Island, Xingcheng City, was notified by the Second Ecological and Environmental Protection Supervision Group of Liaoning Province and ordered to rectify environmental protection due to illegal sea aquaculture, island pollution, beach encroachment and inadequate implementation of responsibilities; Liaoning Province has made public the rectification plan of the central ecological and environmental protection inspectors, continued to promote the comprehensive treatment of the Bohai Sea (Liaoning section), continued to promote the remediation of sewage outlets into the sea, promoted the treatment of tail water from marine aquaculture, implemented the ecological restoration of important estuarine wetlands, and promoted the pollution control of fishing port waters. At present, the Law Enforcement Center of the Xingcheng Natural Resources Bureau is carrying out demolition operations on illegal fish sheds in Liugu River and Ertuozi. In conjunction with this project, the association has established community marine ecological protection organizations and public education and other conservation actions to promote the protection of coastal wetlands and islands in Xingcheng City, and the promotion of positive energy. And let more people understand and join in the protection of coasts and islands, the scientific treatment of environmental governance of Juehua Island, the benign development of tourism and the protection value of Dongsha River coastal wetlands.
Activities:
Activity 1.
Jointly organize a mobilization meeting with local civil affairs agencies to build a network of coastal and island communities in ethnic minority towns, and deploy activity goals and timelines; Led 4 community organizations to independently complete the coastal island beach clean-up operation according to the village and part of the batch
Activity 2.
Organize Manchurian villages and towns in the estuary of the Dongsha River and the indigenous people of the island to complete coastal and island beach clean-up activities, and introduce government, commercial and environmental protection foundation marine beach clean-up, science and education protection projects
Activity 3.
Marine conservation and sustainable use of threatened ecosystems, species, and marine animal science popularization activities, and carry out two forms of marine protection, biodiversity-friendly practices and science education in schools, research and research, science exhibitions, and marine science museums
Activity4.
Establish a wetland endangered migratory bird, spotted seal, and protected marine wetland patrol team composed of local fishermen. According to the tide and spotted seal breeding season, establish key migratory bird and benthic marine biological archive data at the Dongsha River estuary for public education
Outcomes:
1 ?Affected and driven over 300 people to participate in marine conservation actions in 4 coastal minority villages and 2 island villages of the project site
2? Fill the gap in public ecological protection of Juehua Island and protect the coastal wetland area of 150 hectares ? Coastal 110 hectares ? Island 40 hectares ?? Clean up 3 tons of garbage from coastal islands.
3? Establish a public welfare cooperation for marine conservation with the natural resource management department of Juehua Island, and carry out long-term marine conservation actions .
4? Organize over 100 types of benthic biology science and education atlas data for public dissemination of marine knowledge. Marine science and education to increase awareness of protecting the ocean among 100 families .
5 ?Support two community organization networks, enterprises, and commercial environmental protection public welfare cooperation activities.
