Sanya City, Hainan Province

Introduction: a shrimp pond is close to the sea, and the light green sewage gushing from the sewage pipe is discharged into the sea without treatment The water and soil loss in the coastal section with sparse vegetation is serious This is a sad scene witnessed by the law enforcement inspection team of Hainan environmental protection century line when they went to the shrimp breeding base in Yacheng and other towns of Sanya City for inspection In a shrimp breeding base of xumou, an alien farmer in Changshan village, Yacheng Town, Sanya City, the shrimp pond is less than 100 meters away from the sea, the coastal forest near the pond is sparse, the sand is exposed, the cement sewage pipe buried underground extending to the sea has been cut into several sections, the sewage flows across, and a 15 meter long, 5-meter-deep and 4-meter-wide gully has been planed around the sewage outfall, the bank section is sunken, and the sand follows the rain Scour into the sea There are several similar shore sections along the way, the roots of the coastal defense forest are exposed, and the beach is bare Only in Baogang Touzao section, the coastal forest break zone is 1200 meters long due to deforestation and pond digging, which leads to serious soil erosion This situation makes the forestry and environmental protection experts of the inspection team very sad They said that such blind development not only pollutes the environment, but also destroys the ecology In the long run, the entire coastal zone will be cut off, and it is not far from the sea to erode the land, which is not alarmist It is understood that most of these shrimp ponds were built a few years ago, and a lot of coastal defense forests fell under the merciless axe According to the data provided by the city, 1642 mu of high-level aquaculture ponds are built in the 200m coastal forest belt, of which 772 Mu are within 100m and 870 Mu are between 100m and 200m, which are distributed in Tianya, Yacheng and other towns In the next few years, the forestry department replanted Casuarina in the deforested area However, due to improper management and protection, some of the young forests in the bank section died, the vegetation was difficult to recover for a while, the soil erosion was still inevitable, and the coastal zone suffered serious damage According to the head of the forest administration and laws and Regulations Department of Hainan forestry bureau, economic development should not be at the expense of damaging the environment As a natural barrier for wind and sand fixation, coastal shelterbelts are the lifeline of ecological protection in Hainan Province The coastal defense forest is destroyed, the ecology is destroyed, the impact on the environment may not be obvious in the short term, but over time, the consequences will be unimaginable If these coastal areas are not protected, the shrimp ponds will be endangered, and the farmers will suffer in the end The State Council has already stipulated clearly that deforestation and land occupation are prohibited within 200m of the highest tide level line, and the reclaimed land must be returned to the pond (cultivation) or forest unconditionally In 1999, Hainan provincial Party committee and Hainan provincial government issued the notice on further improving the special management of coastal defense forest and mangrove forest, which clearly stipulated that the shrimp pond built within 100m of the highest tide line should be returned to the forest before the end of July of that year; the high-level shrimp pond within 100m-200m should be returned to the forest before the end of 1999 It is understood that Sanya Municipal government has also issued several papers on the regulation of shrimp ponds in special protected forest belt, but due to the heavy resistance, the progress of returning ponds to forests is very slow at present Hainan environmental protection law enforcement inspection team requires the city to strengthen comprehensive renovation, timely rectification, and accelerate the return of ponds to forests Sanya Municipal government immediately said that more than 1600 mu of shrimp ponds will be backfilled in stages.
