全国首个教学科研型海洋牧场在三亚通过验收

Core Viewpoint - The Sanya Yazhou Bay Tropical Ocean University Marine Ranch Teaching and Research Demonstration Base Project has successfully passed inspection, marking it as the first teaching and research-oriented marine ranch in China, establishing a new model for marine ranch construction led by universities [1][2]. Group 1 - The project is located in the waters near Dongluo Island, covering an area of 70.2044 hectares and constructed with 1,503 artificial reefs. The inspection data indicates significant biological attachment in the reef area, with active fish aggregation and initial ecological restoration effects [1]. - A key highlight of the project is the introduction of a "new water flow energy supply system," which overcomes challenges such as marine corrosion, biological attachment, and adverse weather impacts, providing a stable power source by converting ocean kinetic energy. The system has demonstrated strong typhoon resistance, low maintenance frequency, good environmental adaptability, and long-term cost advantages after a year and a half of operation [1]. - The project serves as a multidisciplinary platform for education and research, providing a real training ground for high-level applied talent in the marine field. Data collected during the marine ranch operation will lay the foundation for deep-sea research, while the water flow energy technology will serve as a model for energy upgrades in marine ranches nationwide [2]. Group 2 - The project includes evaluations of six types of reefs, which will provide scientific references for marine scholars conducting ecological research, aquaculture teams experimenting with fish aggregation domestication, and tourism professionals planning ecological tourism projects [2].
