Red Star News noted that previously, the government had set up a corresponding follow-up disposal plan for 39 buildings on Haihua Island. The above-mentioned rectification situation mentioned that all 39 residential buildings recovered were converted to the project owners for their own use, and all the listings must not be used for sale.

A special account for ecological restoration funds of Haihua Island has been set up
Ecological restoration still needs to invest 177 million yuan
It is understood that the 39 buildings on No. 2 Island of Haihua Island were ordered to be demolished within 10 days because of the inspection and rectification tasks involving the environmental protection of the local sea area. Haihua Island is located in the coastal waters of Baimajing Town and Paipu Town, as of November 2020, the population of the two towns is about 89,000 people, and the ports near the sea are mainly Yangpu Port, Baimajing Fishing Port and Paipu Fishing Port. Before the Sea Flower Island project entered, the area's infrastructure was backward and environmental regulation was lacking.
↑Tuyuan Danzhou Natural Resources Management Service Center issued a "Environmental Impact Report on the Restoration Project of the Shore Beach Around Haihua Island in Danzhou City, Hainan Province" issued in December 2021
In 2012, a letter from the People's Government of Hainan Province on Agreeing to Adjust the Scope of the White Butterfly Shell Provincial Nature Reserve was issued, on the grounds that "the resource density of the White Butterfly Shell has not reached the density of promoting population expansion", the total area of 239 square kilometers of the sea area of the Sea Flower Island Planning Area was transferred from the scope of the protected area, and the Sea Flower Island Project invested and developed by Evergrande Group was thus legally reclaimed in the sea area of Danzhou City.
According to the public information of Evergrande Group, on October 14, 2010, the Danzhou Municipal Government signed the "Framework Agreement on Investment and Development of the Baimajing Reclamation Project in Danzhou City, Hainan Province" through investment attraction; on August 30, 2012, the State Oceanic Administration organized experts to review the "Special Topic on marine environmental impact planning for the construction of the Baimajing Haihuadao Tourism Complex in Danzhou City"; on December 3, 2012, the Marine Environmental Protection Department of the State Oceanic Administration issued the "Special Topic on marine environmental impact of the marine environment planning for the construction of the Baimajing Haihuadao Tourism Complex in Danzhou City"; on December 3, 2012, the Marine Environmental Protection Department of the State Oceanic Administration issued the "Special Topic on marine environmental impact of the marine environment planning for the construction of the Baimajing Haihuadao Tourism Complex in Danzhou City"; on December 3, 2012, the Marine Environmental Protection Department of the State Oceanic Administration issued the "Special Topic on marine environmental impact of the sea use for the construction of the Baimajing Haihuadao Tourism Complex in Danzhou City"; on December 3, 2012, the Marine Environmental Protection Department of the State Oceanic Administration issued the "Special Topic on marine environmental impact of the marine environment planning for the construction of the Baimajing Haihuadao Tourism Complex in Danzhou City"; on December 3, 2012, the Marine Environmental Protection Department of the State Oceanic Administration issued the "Marine Environmental Protection Department of the State Oceanic Administration" On December 14, 2012, the State Oceanic Administration approved the "Danzhou Baimajing Haihuadao Tourism Complex Regional Construction Sea Use Planning"; as of August 28, 2013, Evergrande has obtained all the "Sea Area Use Right Certificates"; since 2015, Evergrande has successively obtained land use rights through public bidding, auction and listing, and started development and construction.
After more than six years of construction, HaihuaDao has invested about 81 billion yuan, has more than 60,000 owners, and has received more than 5.5 million tourists since January 1, 2021.
However, over the past six years, Evergrande Haihuadao has received rectification opinions from the State Marine Supervision Group many times due to the damage caused by land reclamation to the marine ecological environment. According to the "Environmental Impact Report on the Shore Beach Restoration Project around Haihua Island in Danzhou City, Hainan Province" issued by the Danzhou Natural Resources Management Service Center in December 2021, the State Marine Inspection Group (Group VI) pointed out that "in 2013, Evergrande Haihua Island caused damage to the marine ecological environment, and required Hainan Province to carry out rectification and ecological restoration of the marine ecological environment caused by the damage".
Large areas of coral reefs and white butterfly shells are the main natural resources that have been damaged. In December 2017, the Fourth Central Environmental Protection Supervision Group gave feedback to Hainan Province on the inspection situation, pointing out that "the Danzhou Municipal Government and the marine department have reduced the number of violations to approve the Reclamation Project of Haihua Island, and the construction of the project has caused the destruction of large areas of coral reefs and white butterfly shells". Article 22 of the Hainan Provincial Government's "Rectification Plan for the Implementation of the Feedback of the Fourth Central Environmental Protection Supervision Group of the Central Committee" also pointed out that the construction of the "Haihua Island Reclamation Project" caused the destruction of large areas of coral reefs and white butterfly shells" by the Hainan Provincial Government.
The above rectification situation also mentioned that the ecological restoration work has been further accelerated, and as of November 8, 2021, the ecological restoration of coral reefs has been completed, and a total of 90 coral nurseries have been built and 4800 coral seedlings have been cultivated. A total of 8221 corals were transplanted by bottom sowing, including 8139 corals transplanted by riveted bottom sowing and 82 corals transplanted by bio-reef method. There are 2,300 coral branches left in the nursery.
Evergrande Tong World Group also said on the evening of January 3 that since 2017, Evergrande has been unswervingly and actively rectifying according to the requirements of environmental protection and marine inspectors for marine ecological restoration and culvert bridge rectification on Haihua Island.
However, the road to ecological restoration is still obstructed and long, and the ecological restoration of HaihuaDao needs to continue to invest 177 million yuan. Red Star News noted that on December 21, 2021, the Danzhou Municipal People's Government issued the "Announcement on the Completion of the Rectification Task of the Third Central Ecological Environmental Protection Inspector", which mentioned that in 2020, the mid-term assessment of the ecological restoration of Haihua Island has been completed, the pre-restoration funds have been put into audit, and a special account for the ecological restoration funds of Haihua Island has been established. According to the audit results, 177 million yuan needs to continue to be invested in the ecological restoration of Haihuadao, and Evergrande Haihuadao Company has paid 5 million yuan.
