Coral reefs are a vital component of the marine ecosystem. In China, coral reefs are concentrated in the South China Sea. Protecting this "underwater tropical rainforest" has always been a challenge. Now, however, a biomimetic robot in the shape of a manta ray, developed by Northwestern Polytechnical University, is making things easier. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2024-07-07/Race-to-the-Future-A-new-tool-for-protecting-coral-reefs-1v2d7G2eh8s/p.html | Chinese Embassy Manila

China's latest field survey reveals shocking changes beneath the waves in the #SouthChinaSea. At Tiexian Jiao, coral coverage has plunged nearly 70 percent. Scientists blame outbreaks of coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish, typhoons, and illegal fishing and construction by the Philippines. Meanwhile, Niu'e Jiao's reefs are holding up, but bleaching looms large. The report also directly refutes the Philippines' claims that China is building artificial islands using crushed coral. #CoralReefCris

To improve the ecological environment and create a rich habitat for marine life, Hainan has been making artificial reefs with sunken ships. The artificial reefs projects can improve the ecological environment of the coastal water and turn the sandy and muddy seabed, where fewer fish species live, into rocky reefs suitable for the survival of more species. Artificial reefs with abundant fish food are beneficial for the reproduction and growth of aquatic animals. And it can also prevent excessive
