Achievement Exhibition with the Theme of "Advancing into the New Era" | Striving towards the Sea and Striving towards Deep Blue
"On September 1, the first batch of large yellow croakers produced from 'Guoxin 1' have been put on the market!" In the Shandong unit of the "Striving for a New Era" themed achievement exhibition on display in Beijing Exhibition Hall, commentator Zhao Qianru introduced to the visitors the world's first 100000 ton fishery large-scale cruise breeding factory ship, "Guoxin 1": "The wild environment provided in the breeding cabin is mandatory to exchange water with the external natural sea water about 20 times a day. Feed selection and feeding are intelligent and automated, so the meat quality and nutrition of large yellow croakers cultivated by 'Guoxin 1' can be comparable to similar wild fish."
The coordinated development of land and sea resources is a unique advantage for Shandong's development. In order to vividly demonstrate Shandong's efforts in leading the development of the marine economy, the Shandong unit exhibited many ocean engineering equipment models that represent Shandong's manufacturing strength. Models such as "Blue Whale 1", "Guoxin 1", and self-propelled launch ships impressed visitors.
General Secretary Xi Jinping called on Shandong to pay more attention to managing the ocean and strive to be at the forefront of developing the marine economy. Shandong keeps in mind its instructions, adheres to the coordination of land and sea, and strives to strengthen itself towards the sea, continuously doing a good job in the three aspects of "port, industry, and ecology". The gross domestic product of the ocean has grown by 66.1% in ten years, reaching 1.49 trillion yuan; The added value of six industries, including marine biomedicine, ranks first in the country; National level marine ranch demonstration areas account for nearly 40% of the country's total; The excellent water quality rate of nearshore waters is 92.3%, and the advantage of marine resources is transforming into a high-quality development advantage.
The dynamic model of the fully automated container terminal at Qingdao Port, measuring 3.5 meters in length and 2.8 meters in width, is the largest physical model of the Shandong unit and has attracted many visitors to take photos as a souvenir. This dynamic model of the dock is not only made according to the real scene of Qingdao Port as a whole, but also allows real-time viewing of the entire process of dock loading and unloading operations on the big screen, showcasing the grandeur of the northern port, "said visitor Wang Mingjun.
Ports are important pivot points for land sea linkage and global expansion. As the only province in China with three ports exceeding 400 million tons, Shandong continues to increase its efforts in port integration, establish the Shandong Port Group, promote integrated operation and intelligent development of coastal ports, and take solid steps towards the construction of a world-class port cluster on the Shandong Peninsula.
The greatest potential of Shandong lies in the ocean, the largest space lies in the ocean, and the greatest kinetic energy also lies in the ocean. Adhering to project construction as the starting point, focusing on the layout of emerging industries such as high-end marine equipment, marine biomedicine, and seawater desalination, Shandong is striving to form a good situation of promoting the development of the marine economy through large and good projects. In the past two years, 19 major supporting projects for the modern marine industry have been promoted at the provincial level, with a total investment of 89.77 billion yuan and a cumulative completed investment of 16.39 billion yuan.
The sprawling coastline, deep blue waters, and lush coastal wetlands, along with an aerial photo of the Long Island Marine Ecological Civilization Comprehensive Experimental Zone at the exhibition, have made many visitors say, 'If you have time, you must go to Long Island to see it.'. Long Island regards ecological protection as its top priority and green development as its fundamental premise. The proportion of tourism and natural coastline has been increased to 85%. In 2019, it was selected as one of the third batch of "Green Mountains and Rivers are Gold and Silver Mountains" practical innovation bases in China.
The construction of the Long Island Marine Ecological Civilization Comprehensive Experimental Zone is a microcosm of Shandong's efforts to create a harmonious ocean with clear water, clean beaches, green shores, beautiful bays, and beautiful islands. It also explores a new path with sample significance for the development and protection of China's islands. Shandong attaches great importance to the harmonious coexistence of people and sea, strengthens the joint prevention and control of land and sea pollution, implements the action of ocean blue carbon sink, and coordinates the implementation of ecological protection and restoration projects for beaches, bays, wetlands, islands, etc. It has rectified and restored more than 200 kilometers of coastline and more than 5000 hectares of coastal wetlands, and the excellent water quality of nearshore waters has reached 92.3%.
The construction of the China Shanghai Cooperation Organization demonstration area for local economic and trade cooperation has been accelerated, and 189 institutional innovations have been achieved in the China (Shandong) Pilot Free Trade Zone... Shandong has given full play to its coastal regional advantages, actively integrated into the overall situation of national opening up, expanded high-quality investment attraction, deeply integrated into the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", and created new advantages in opening up to the outside world. The total import and export volume has increased by 89.1% in ten years, and the actual use of foreign capital has increased three times. Choosing Shandong and starting a business in Qilu has increasingly become a consensus at home and abroad. (Reporter Xu Chaochao)
