Experts pointed out that large-scale afforestation is blind without scientific experiments. The steps of ecological restoration of Langen mangrove should be through experimental research, understanding problems, exploring methods, step by step implementation and scientific management.
More than 200 acres of mangroves were damaged due to illegal construction.
Mangroves, known as "coastal guards" and "marine green lungs", are woody plant communities growing in intertidal zones along tropical and subtropical coasts. According to experts, one of the typical characteristics of mangrove ecosystem is that "extremely low plant diversity supports extremely high biodiversity", which is an important habitat for rare and endangered waterfowl and a place for fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish to grow and breed.
The inspector group pointed out that Beibu Gulf World Port Group Co., Ltd., a large state-owned enterprise directly under the government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, has a poor awareness of ecological environmental protection and many ports under its jurisdiction have outstanding environmental problems. The illegal construction of the East Port of Tieshan Port in Beihai has led to a large number of mangrove deaths.
