Shandong has a vast ocean area, rich marine resources, excellent foundation and great potential for marine science and technology, marine talents and marine industry. Modern marine industry has become the fastest growing field of new momentum and new industry in Shandong Province.

At 16:31 on September 12, with the 34th wind turbine in the southern waters of Haiyang City, the first batch of wind turbines of Huaneng Shandong Peninsula South 4 marine wind power project was successfully connected to the grid, giving out the first degree of marine wind power in Shandong.

The greatest potential of Shandong lies in the ocean, the largest space sits in the ocean, and the greatest kinetic energy also comes from the ocean. Shandong strives for stronger marine strength, takes the ocean as a strategic place for high-quality development, promotes the construction of a strong marine province with "Ten Actions", and cultivates marine industries with advantages. In 2020, Shandong achieved a gross marine product of RMB 1.32 trillion, accounting for 18.03% of the provincial gross regional product and 16.48% of the national gross marine product, and Shandong has 54 national marine pasture demonstration areas, ranking first in China with 40% of the total.

"Marine breadbasket" has improved in quantity and quality for farming and fishing

At the first glance, it is just a pool of clear water; with a closer look, you can see the bright-colored spine-tailed white shrimp larvae. Zhang Xiuhong, a researcher at the Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Fisheries Sciences, picked up a shrimp with a net, measured its size, and put it back into the pool gently.

Every year, when it comes to the shrimp breeding season, Zhang Xiuhong and other researchers will come to Rizhao Haichen Aquatic Co., Ltd. for experiments in the breeding room. "Ridge-tailed white shrimp is different from the Chinese shrimp, it can be harvested and breed several times a year, and its ability to tolerate salinity is strong, so it is an economic shrimp suitable for saline water breeding." Zhang Xiuhong told reporters that if the experiment is successful, not only can Haichen Aquatic achieve year-round breeding of larvae, but also can enhance the development and utilization of land resources in saline areas and increase economic benefits.

This aquaculture company, located in Xiaohai Village, Taoluo Town, Donggang District, Rizhao City, developed from a small breeding farm more than 30 years ago to the only national Chinese shrimp breeding farm now, with an annual production of 26,000 Chinese shrimp overwintering "Yellow Sea No. 3" parent shrimps, 23 billion Chinese shrimp nodeless larvae, and 28 million shrimp larvae, in which the Company played an important role in promoting the renewal of seawater pond breeding species, and increasing industry productivity and income. The Taoluo town where it is located depends tightly on the scientific research institutes to further explore the aquaculture. At present, it has developed more than 200 aquatic breeding farms and breeding households, and the breeding quantity of Chinese Shrimp and Penaeus vannamei accounts for the majority of China.

The scenic spots of Rongcheng Haoyunjiao Tourist Resort have become a popular destination among netizens. It is located at the most eastern end of Shandong Peninsula, surrounded by sea on three sides with mountains and seas close to each other. 112 kilometers of coastline are distributed with five major bays, 30 kilometers of pristine beaches, 70,000 mu of black pine forests and 75,000 mu of high-quality marine pastures. In recent years, relying on the favorable coastal tourism resources, the Haoyunjiao Resort has been striving towards the goal of becoming a national tourism resort.
