Mangroves restored to promote green advancement

The 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) for Ecological Environmental Protection in Zhanjiang issued earlier this year proposed that by 2025, Zhanjiang will achieve remarkable results in the green transformation of production and lifestyle, greatly improve resource utilization efficiency and maintain the top air quality in Guangdong.

The goal of ecological and environmental protection has been set up in four categories and 18 target indicators of environmental governance, response to climate change, environmental risk prevention and control and ecological protection.

Next, Zhanjiang will vigorously promote the protection and construction of "beautiful bays" and improve the quality of the marine ecological environment.

As a major marine city, Zhanjiang is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is endowed with unique marine resources. The coastal water area under the jurisdiction of the city is about 15,000 square kilometers.

The mainland coastline is 1,243.7 km long. It has three typical ocean ecosystems of mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass beds.
