Zhuhai uses innovation as the engine to promote the development of the marine industry to high-end, intelligent and green, and the gross marine product will exceed the 100 billion yuan mark in 2024, showing a strong development momentum.

The integration and development of offshore wind power and marine ranching has become a characteristic business card of Zhuhai's marine economy. Guishan Offshore Wind Farm not only delivers green electricity to islands such as Dongao Island and Guishan Island, but also forms synergy with modern marine ranch projects such as "Lingding Ranch", creating a unique new model of "wind and fishery integration". The launch of the world's first naturally exchangeable deep-sea aquaculture vessel "Bay Area Lingding" marks a major breakthrough in Zhuhai in the field of deep-sea aquaculture equipment.

Scientific and technological innovation has injected strong momentum into the development of the marine economy. The National Marine Comprehensive Proving Ground in the waters of Dawanshan Island brings together a number of cutting-edge marine equipment such as the "Nankun" wave energy power generation platform and the "Zhuhai Cloud" intelligent unmanned mothership, building a complete innovation chain from basic research to industrial incubation. The gathering of major scientific research platforms such as the Southern Marine Laboratory has made Zhuhai a new highland for marine science and technology innovation.

New progress has been made in the construction of island infrastructure. The seawater desalination project on Dongao Island is about to be completed and put into operation, which will effectively solve the problem of freshwater supply on the island. The demonstration projects of seawater desalination and comprehensive utilization on islands such as Gaolan and Wanshan have been accelerated, providing rich verification scenarios for seawater desalination technology.

The relevant person in charge of the Zhuhai Municipal Ocean Development Bureau said that by promoting the innovation of the "marine ranch +" model, Zhuhai is organically integrating offshore wind power, marine tourism, leisure sea fishing and other formats to create a diversified marine industry ecology. It is expected that by the end of 2025, the city's marine ranch aquaculture water will exceed 1.5 million cubic meters, forming a more complete marine industry system.

From offshore wind power to marine ranches, from scientific research platforms to island infrastructure, Zhuhai is promoting the high-quality development of the marine economy with systematic thinking and contributing to the construction of "Maritime New Guangdong". This coastal city is writing a new chapter in the new era of "strong to the sea".(This article is from the official website of Jiandao www.seetao.com it must not be reproduced without permission, otherwise it will be investigated, please indicate the reprint of Jiandao.com + original link) See the editor of the infrastructure engineering column of Jiandao.com/Gao Xue
