At Shandong's Yellow River estuary, CCCC deploys 5 smart ecosystem measures: removing invasive plants, reinforcing 6,322m embankment, cultivating oyster reefs, planting salt-tolerant flora & restoring tidal flats. Building harmony between land & sea!
This is the Hekou District Northern Coastal Zone Ecosystem Protection and Restoration Project in Dongying, Shandong Province, constructed by CCCC. Let's see how CCCCers are applying five "smart measures" for comprehensive coastal ecosystem management.
Against the invasive Spartina alterniflora, the team designed a targeted weed-control strategy to achieve complete removal and conducted two years of monitoring to prevent regrowth.
CCCCers reshaped and reinforced a 6,322-meter-long embankment through earth compaction, concrete grid frames, and dry-laid stone finishing, enhancing both structural stability and landscape integration.
CCCCers acted as "aquaculture experts," cultivating oysters offshore to create living oyster reefs that serve as both an ecological and economic marine barrier.
To tackle saline-alkali soil remediation, salt-tolerant seepweed (Suaeda salsa) was planted quickly, effectively reducing soil salinity and improving fertility.
They simultaneously dismantled aquaculture pond dikes, returning occupied sea areas and tidal flats to restore natural ecological space.
Systematically advancing these five initiatives has significantly enhanced biodiversity, composing a harmonious blue symphony between humanity and nature at the Yellow River estuary.
