Group 1 - The Ministry of Natural Resources has established three surface elevation monitoring systems at the estuary section of the Pinglu Canal to track the carbon sequestration capacity of mangroves during construction and operation [2] - These monitoring systems will measure the annual accumulation rate of sediments in the mangrove area and calculate the annual carbon burial flux of the surrounding mangroves, providing essential data for assessing the carbon sequestration capacity of mangroves [2] - The Pinglu Canal is a key project in the Western Land-Sea New Corridor, spanning approximately 135 kilometers and connecting various waterways to create a major transport route in Southwest China [2] Group 2 - The North Sea Ocean Center has organized a marine ecological survey team to investigate the ecological impacts of the Pinglu Canal construction, focusing on the ecological status of mangroves and surrounding marine areas during the construction period [3] - The team will employ a combination of satellite remote sensing, drone patrols, and on-site investigations to continuously monitor the mangrove ecosystem and estuarine ecosystem, particularly the growth status of mangroves [3] - The scientific assessment of the carbon sequestration capacity of the mangrove ecosystem will provide technological support for local governments in carbon trading and ecological protection and restoration efforts [3]
