The Jingu River Shoreline Comprehensive Ecological Improvement and Restoration Project contributes to the development of new marine economy sectors such as ecological restoration, ecotourism, and blue carbon trading.
Blue carbon refers to carbon dioxide that is captured by marine activities and marine organisms, and stored in the marine ecosystem. Mangroves are important ocean carbon sinks that can absorb and store carbon dioxide. CCCC has demonstrated its responsibility and commitment to environmental protection through actions. Let's take a look!
The Jingu River Shoreline Comprehensive Ecological Improvement and Restoration Project, undertaken by CCCC in Qinzhou, Guangxi, has a total length of 4.45 kilometers. The team has restored mangroves and independently cultivated approximately 4 million mangrove seedlings, creating 103.13 hectares of mangrove forests. By 2023, the total carbon sequestration in the Peacock Bay area is expected to reach 1,279 tonnes, achieving a significant increase. The project has also explored the blue carbon trading mechanism for mangroves and successfully completed Guangxi's first blue carbon trade using the mangroves in Peacock Bay. This project contributes to the development of new marine economy sectors such as ecological restoration, ecotourism, and blue carbon trading.
