Description
The implementation scope of this project is set in the restricted red line area of the concentrated distribution area of Chinese white dolphins in Qinzhou Sanniang Bay and the restricted red line area of the important coastal tourist area in Sanniang Bay. Among them, the target sea area is the sea area covered by the proposed Qinzhou Chinese White Dolphin Nature Reserve in Guangxi, namely the sea area of Sanniang Bay, Dafeng River and Nanliu River along the coast of Guangxi Beibu Gulf. The region is adjacent to Beihai City in the east, Fangchenggang City in the west, and Beibu Gulf Sea in the south. It is 43 km away from Qinzhou City, 138 km away from Nanning City and 100 km away from Beihai City. Three of the communities covered are under the jurisdiction of rhinoceros foot town, with a total of 16 villagers' groups and a total population of 7073. The whole village is dominated by marine fishing, supplemented by tourism and agriculture. Their annual income is around 1,400 dollar per capita. Main problems: 1. Current regulations did not pay enough attention the livelihood needs of the residents of the three villages, and the local residents have limited awareness and willingness to participate in ecological protection. 2. Pollution of the coastal ecological environment has resulted in eutrophication in some sea areas, and the number and types of fishery resources have decreased rapidly. 3. The quantity of Chinese white dolphins is reduced, and its activity area is gradually narrowed. Solutions and activities: 1. Conduct baseline survey on the current status of fishery development was conducted to address the problem of over-fishing, focusing on the collection of local residents' cognitive status and livelihood needs on marine ecology, tourism and fishery. 2. Provide community residents with special training and exchange activities such as fishery waste recovery and management, community waste recovery, etc. 3. Coordinate the local government to set up an offshore ecological breeding demonstration site to solve the problems of feeding chemicals in breeding. 4. Release the policy research report on the model of fishery community protection and sustainable development, and hold exchanges and policy seminars involving various parties. Anticipated results/outcomes: 1. A community fishery resources and traditional culture registry atlas, interviewing at least 20 households. 2. A guidebook of eco-tourism for fishery villages in Sanniang Bay, increasing income of 400 RMB of at least 10 villagers. 3. At least 200 people are affected by villagers’ convention on ecological conservation of fishing villages. 4. Two trainings on aquaculture with not less than 30 participants each time. 5. The number of people affected by the media reports of this project should reach at least 500, and the number of people affected by the dissemination of brief introduction shall not be less than 3000.
