Coral Ark Planning Conference: Ecosystem Conservation and Restoration Based on Natural Solutions

4月13日，海南大学海洋科技协同创新中心和南海海洋资源利用国家重点实验室（以下简称南海国重实验室）共同主办的“基于自然解决方案的生态系统保护与修复-珊瑚方舟计划”会议在海南大学国际学术交流中心举行。中国工程院院士、自然资源部第一海洋研究所研究员丁德文，海南大学科学技术发展院院长邹勇华，南海国重实验室主任高树基出席会议。

The Coral Ark Planning Conference was held on April 13th at the International Academic Exchange Center of Hainan University, co-hosted by the Hainan University Marine Science and Technology Collaboration Innovation Center and the State Key Laboratory of Marine Resources Utilization in the South China Sea (hereinafter referred to as MRU). Dewen Ding, an academician from the Chinese Academy of Engineering and researcher at the First Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources of China, Yonghua Zou, Director of Hainan University Research Development Office, and Shuh-Ji Kao, Director of the MRU, attended the conference.

会上邹勇华向各位与会学者嘉宾表示欢迎并介绍了海南大学协同创新中心的相关情况。高树基依据海南建设国家生态文明试验区要求以及可预见的海南自贸港伴生性风险，介绍了本次会议的目的。本次会议旨在融合多学科、多领域，借鉴海洋牧场与人工生态系统理论，探讨通过适当的人工干预改善环境质量，激活珊瑚礁生态系统自我修复的新途径。此外，本次会议将关注产学研一体化模式，探讨将生态环境导向的开发模式（EOD）应用到珊瑚礁系统保护与修复当中。

Yonghua Zou extended a warm welcome to present scholars and guests, and provided an introduction to the Hainan University Collaboration and Innovation Center. Shuh-Ji Kao stated the purpose of this conference, based on the requirements of building a national ecological civilization pilot zone in Hainan and the foreseeable and accompanying risks in the establishment of the Hainan Free Trade Port. Its purpose was to integrate multiple disciplines and fields, draw on the theories of ocean ranching and artificial ecosystem, explore new ways of improving environmental quality through appropriate artificial intervention, and activate the self-repair of coral reef ecosystems. In addition, this conference focused on the combination of industries, universities and research institutes, and explore the application of Ecological Orientation Development (EOD) to the protection and restoration of coral reef systems.
