On April 25, 2023, young representatives from the College of Ocean Science and Engineering majoring in Port, Channel and Coastal Engineering and environmental Engineering went to the Harbor Project Department of China Shipping Third Bureau to participate in the coastal Marine ecological restoration theme practice activity.
First of all, the young students had a vivid lesson in the second standard project of Lingang Project, and had a preliminary understanding of Spartina alterniflora invasion and coastal Marine ecological restoration of Lingang, and managed Spartina alterniflora through reed planting alternative technology. The staff also introduced the reed planting knowledge and detailed process, and emphasized the safety points in planting work.
After fully understanding the background of the project, the students went to the East Coast with the staff. Wearing hard hats, overalls and work shoes, students set out in pairs with shovels and reed seedlings in their hands. Each group was assigned a responsible field. After early training, the students strictly followed the process of reed planting. Working in pairs, they stepped the shovels into the wet mud, put the seedlings in, filled the soil, and stepped on them firmly. After more than an hour of planting, the originally empty beach was covered with large reed seedlings, adding an expected green color to the coast.
When ecology prospers, civilization prospers. From theoretical cognition to practical experience, the young students more truly understand the significance of ecological environment protection, feel the fun of reed planting, experience the difficulties of ecological restoration, and realize the sense of mission of the major.
