Project Introduction
Sanya Mangrove Forest Wetland Restoration Project in 2015 includes the Sanya River Mangrove Forest Protection Project and Sanya Tielu Port Mangrove Forest Protection Projec with a construction scale of 655 mu and a total investment of 15 million yuan. The contents of Sanya Mangrove Forest Wetland Restoration Project are as follows. First, the Restoration Project of Sanya River Reserve, which coves an area of 105 mu, and focuses on restoring tidal flats along the river that are small, broken and suitable for forest. The restoration scope includes Phoenix Waterside, Yuechuan Bridge,Bailu Park, and the riverside of Shanyu Lake. The planted trees are mainly Aegiceras corniculatum, Kandelia candel, and Rhizophora apiculata, with more than 70,000 plants. Second, the Restoration Project of Tielu Port Reserve, which coves an area of 500 mu, and focuses on the restoration of coastal tidal flats that are suitable for forest. The restoration scope includes Qingtian Village, Shigui Village and Jiangqian Village in Haitang District. The main planting specie is Rhizophoraceae apiculata such as Aegiceras corniculatum, Ceriops tagal, Bruguiear gymnorrhiza, etc, and semi-mangrove such as Heritiera littoralis, and Hibiscus tiliaceus are also planted, with a total of about 360,000 plants. Third, the Seed Breeding Base, which covers 50 mu. The base is mainly to cultivate local tree species, including Ceriops tagal, Rhizophora apiculata, Aegiceras corniculatum and Bruguiear gymnorrhiza, and plans to cultivate 500,000 high-quality seedlings. In addition, the project construction includes infrastructure construction and the formulation of mangrove forest protection zone planning (including Sanya Mangrove Forest Reserve Overall Planning, Sanya River Mangrove Forest Reserve Planning and Tielu Port Mangrove Forest Reserve Planning). In the meanwhile, the enhancement of the management and scientific research of mangrove forest reserves is also included. Sanya Tielu Port Mangrove Reserve
The restoration project will cover an area of 1.68 square kilometers.

Project Stories

1 It was originally a barren land inside the flood-control wall constructed of concrete. Today, 110,000 mangrove saplings and 33 types of vegetation here have been restored. This 525-mu land was originally planned for the construction of seven 22-story hotels. In 2015, the Sanya Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government displaced the project land to return the scenery to people, and built it into an urban ecological park. In view of the green space lost in the process of urban development, an improvement plan is proposed to repair the damaged ecological environment, restore the important ecological functions of mangroves, create a common development space for humans, animals, and plants, and create a diverse mangrove ecological space. The construction waste and garbage that were originally seen everywhere have been shaped into its unique scenery through designer’s “fill & dig”method. This Mangrove mixed forest island in an interlaced manner breathe freely in this city with dense buildings.
