After the "National Brand" Marine Comprehensive Test Site was settled, "heavyweight" scientific research experiments were carried out in the distant sea areas one after another. This former old fishing base has been transformed into the northern plate of Weihai International Marine Science and Technology City - far away shallow sea science and technology bay area, like the "innovation cradle" of the city's marine economic transformation and upgrading.
The acceleration of Weihai International Marine Science and Technology City "one by one day" is a vivid footnote to the city's high attention and efforts to solve the problem of marine economic transformation and upgrading. In the past year, 35 projects have been completed and put into operation in Weihai International Marine Science and Technology City, 30 Haichuang projects have won national funds of 177 million yuan, 5 new national specialized special new "little giants" and 11 provincial specialized special new enterprises have been added in the marine field. The transformation and upgrading of the marine economy has achieved remarkable results.
In November last year, the city calibrated the "road map" for the transformation and upgrading of the marine economy again, and the Weihai Marine Strong City Construction Work Conference stressed that it is necessary to continue to strengthen the five orientations of "scientific use of the sea, science and technology to revitalize the sea, industrial strong sea, ecological protection of the sea, and open and live sea", adhere to the consolidation of advantages and innovative development, and make greater efforts in ideological concepts, methods and methods, institutional mechanisms, scientific and technological innovation, industrial cultivation, technical means, and talent introduction, and explore more new industries, new formats, new technologies, and new models.
Our city strengthens the five orientations of "scientific use of the sea, science and technology to revitalize the sea, industrial strong sea, ecological sea protection, and open and living sea", adheres to the principle of consolidating advantages and attaching equal importance to innovative development, and the achievements in the transformation and innovative development of the marine economy are eye-catching.

Tap advantages: Weihai International Marine Science and Technology City has taken shape
//
In September 2021, under the witness of experts from the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the country's first "provincial-ministry joint construction" national marine comprehensive test site settled in our city.
Two months later, the "heavyweight" guests once again witnessed the opening of the first phase of the main project of the Far Shallow Sea Science and Technology Bay Area. Weihai International Marine Science and Technology City has thus opened a new chapter in the construction of sea and land infrastructure and industrial development and ecology.
Innovation is the first driving force leading development and the first driving force for promoting the transformation and upgrading of the marine economy. Twisting the "bull nose" of innovation, the city has made a global layout from the top-level design of marine economic transformation and upgrading:
——In accordance with the idea of "one city, three cores, science and technology leadership, multi-district layout, chain penetration, block linkage, and global coverage", the city has built an international marine science and technology city in the whole region, and strives to create a new pattern of reasonable spatial layout, industrial chain linkage, and global integration and development;
——The Weihai Marine Strong City Construction Work Conference pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to the principle of attaching equal importance to the leading role of the leading and coordinated development, give full play to the leading role of the international marine science and technology city, integrate resources such as talents, funds, and policies, and drive the transformation and breakthrough of the city's marine industry;
——According to the latest second round of the "Three-year Action Plan for the Construction of a Strong Marine City", the city will launch five major actions of "industrial breakthrough, scientific and technological piloting, ecological improvement, open linkage, and safety consolidation", focusing on the deployment of 16 characteristic parks, 39 innovation platforms and 93 industrial projects.
In the framework of comprehensively opening up the construction of "innovation power", the construction of Weihai International Marine Science and Technology City plays a leading role.
In 2021, the New Year's Day holiday was completed, and the special class for promoting the construction of the International Marine Science and Technology City identified 22 major events for the first time. Today, science and technology city has handed over a bright report card -
Today's far and shallow sea science and technology bay area innovation surges. Inside the National Marine Comprehensive Test Site, there is a buoy called "White Dragon". Its mission is to conduct a three-month experiment for a major science and technology project in Shandong Province. The Advanced Technology Research Institute for Laser Communications on the shore has been put into operation.
Not only the northern plate has accelerated its breakthrough, but also the eastern plate has added core platform carriers such as innovation centers, entrepreneurial service centers, incubation centers and dream factories. Located in the southern plate, the only academician workstation on the theme of marine ecology and economy in China, the Academician Jiao Nianzhi Workstation and the Marine Negative Emission Research Center, started construction.
From "a blueprint" to "blue Silicon Valley", after a year of global promotion, Weihai International Marine Science and Technology City has taken shape and taken shape, attracting 15 high-energy marine innovation platforms to settle down, establishing industry-university-research cooperation with more than 60 colleges and universities, and accumulatively landing and signing 33 key projects. In the next three years, a higher standard international marine science and technology city will promote a significant leap in the city's marine science and technology strength and innovation ability.
Maintain advantages: Focus on building a modern marine industry system
On December 16 last year, the first marine field robot and automation equipment scientific research achievements exhibition fair showed 56 (sets) of new product technologies such as underwater robots and kelp knotting machines, each of which accurately solved industrial problems, which is also a physical "report card" for the intelligent transformation of the marine industry in our city.
Extensive development and low added value and other industrial shortcomings are the key crux of the city's construction of a modern marine industry system.
The symposium on the high-quality development of the city's marine fishery and marine food industry pointed out that it is necessary to accelerate industrial transformation and upgrading, actively integrate into the dual-cycle development pattern, and achieve high-quality development of marine fishery and marine food industry. The Weihai Marine Strong City Construction Work Conference once again stressed that it is necessary to focus on building a modern advantageous marine industry, adhere to the cluster development, brand promotion, and park support, and create a modern advantageous marine industry highland.
On November 13, 2021, Bao Zhenmin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, dean and professor of the School of Marine Life sciences of Ocean University of China, made a special trip to Weiwei to discuss the new direction of high-quality development of the marine seed industry. At present, the city cultivates 44 billion units of seedlings every year, and the coverage rate of mariculture fine seeds has reached more than 70%, which is in the forefront of the province and the country.
Since 2021, the city has vigorously promoted the agglomeration of seed industry enterprises, the upgrading of breeding equipment, and the expansion of distant ocean space, focusing on the implementation of the "doubling plan" of marine seed industry, the "deep blue action" of marine aquaculture, and the "10 billion project" of distant water fishery, and accelerating the creation of a new model of modern fishery.
Not only the fishery, the entire blue industry chain is undergoing a transformation and upgrading. The city has sorted out more than 20 key common technologies, and 8 fishery mechanization (automation) projects will be put into use soon, breaking out of new space for upgrading by extending the chain and cross-border integration between the two major industries of marine industry and advanced manufacturing.
In December last year, the Lanchuang Incubation Area of the Far Shallow Sea Science and Technology Bay Area ushered in a new project - the National Seawater Utilization Engineering Technology Center, which will build a seawater desalination equipment research and development platform, a test and testing platform, and a technical service platform to build a national seawater desalination device production base.
This is the epitome of the "energy level jump" of the city's marine manufacturing industry. In order to install the innovation "engine" on the marine industry, the city has also established 7 municipal innovation technology centers such as Weihai Seaweed Technology Innovation Center, Weihai Tuna Resources Efficient Utilization Technology Innovation Center, and Weihai Oyster Technology Innovation Center.
"We focus on five industries, such as ships and fishing-related equipment, marine electronic information and intelligent equipment, marine new energy, marine new materials, and comprehensive utilization of seawater, connecting major projects for the conversion of new and old kinetic energy, and actively seizing the middle and high end of the industrial chain." The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Ocean Development Bureau was introduced.
At present, the city is making every effort to promote the "clustering of marine biological industries" and strive to build a dynamic, distinctive and complementary industrial development pattern by expanding marine cultural tourism, upgrading marine transportation industry, expanding marine finance and insurance industry, and cultivating marine emerging service industries by 2023.
Transformation advantages: first try to give "Weihai 'carbon' cable"
How much money can you make in a sea? The answer given by the Edron Bay Marine Ranch in Rongcheng City is that there are at least three parts - industrial money, tourism money, and ecological money.
The last one is that Ellen Bay will build a smart energy management system by installing air source heat pumps and distributed photovoltaic equipment, which can reduce coal consumption by 10,000 tons per year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 300 tons.
From the traditional aquaculture sea area to the national marine ranch, and then to the province's first marine ranch zero-carbon energy demonstration zone, Ellen Bay has been doing the "advantage transformation" article, which is also another "key" to crack the transformation and upgrading of the marine economy.
How to hold and use this "key"? The whole city is firmly committed to the goal of blue economy and industry, effectively transforming the existing ecological advantages and marine advantages into development advantages in the new stage, and striving to create characteristics and walk in the forefront in terms of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
From the establishment of the Sanggou Bay Shellfish Carbon Sink Laboratory by Academician Tang Qisheng's team to the establishment of the Shandong Provincial Marine Negative Emissions Academician Workstation in Weihai, the city has a foundation, conditions and advantages in the development of the blue carbon economy.
Since 2021, focusing on the requirements of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, our city has taken the lead in introducing the "Action Plan for the Development of the Blue Carbon Economy", implemented the "12356" action, made active explorations in carbon sequestration and emission reduction, and accelerated the industrialization and capitalization of marine carbon sinks in Weihai International Marine Science and Technology City to accelerate the industrialization and capitalization of marine carbon sinks, and move towards the blue carbon stage of the province and the country.
This is the Weihai "blue carbon time" in 2021:
In March, Weihai Carbon Peak Carbon Neutrality Work Forum pointed out that it is necessary to focus on "reducing" and "solidifying" articles, resolutely complete the carbon peak and carbon neutral goals and tasks, and accelerate the realization of green transformation of economic and social development;
In April, the "Weihai Blue Carbon Economic Development Action Plan (2021-2025)" was issued, proposing that by the end of 2025, the blue carbon economy will account for more than 30% of the city's marine economy;
In August, Weihai Changqing Marine Science and Technology Co., Ltd. was approved a "marine carbon sink loan" of 20 million yuan, which is the first "green loan" in China to pledge the right to the forward income of carbon reduction generated by kelp and other seafood farming every year.
In November, Shandong Province Marine Negative Emission Academician Workstation Sanggou Bay Aquaculture Sea Area Carbon Sink Survey First Voyage; the surrounding offshore experimental platform was launched at the Rongcheng 10,000 mu kelp breeding wharf to monitor the relevant data of effective carbon sinks generated during the whole life cycle of kelp cultivation and breeding...
"These actions all prove that we must conquer the 'no man's land' of blue carbon through series of original explorations." Cong Yongping, vice president of Weihai Blue Economy Research Institute, said that they will accelerate the construction of a marine ecological economic system with industrial ecology and ecological industrialization as the main body, carry out "blue bay" remediation, seagrass bed restoration, aquaculture green development demonstration, marine carbon sink methodology research and development and other work, develop blue carbon economy, and help the exploration and practice of carbon neutrality to be at the forefront of the country.
■ Reporter's Note
Use innovation to "leverage" unlimited potential
Whether it is to build Weihai International Marine Science and Technology City, or to try first in the blue carbon economy, or to "unveil the commander- and break through a series of "card neck" technologies... Looking back at the process of our city's high attention and efforts to solve the problem of marine economic transformation and upgrading in 2021, the "core solution" is nothing more than the word "innovation".
Weihai is born from the sea and thrives on the sea, and will also be strong in the sea map, and "leverage" the unlimited potential of high-quality development of the marine economy with innovation. Adhering to the concept of innovation, we must continue to strengthen the five orientations of "scientific use of the sea, science and technology to revitalize the sea, industrial strong sea, ecological protection of the sea, and open and live sea", and take the "Three-year Action Plan for the Construction of a Strong Marine City" as a road map and mission statement to promote Weihai to accelerate its march towards an international marine strong city. Adhere to scientific and technological innovation, we must work building platform carriers and strengthening scientific and technological support, strive to release the vitality, strength and attractiveness of the international marine science and technology city, and install an innovative engine for the transformation and upgrading of the marine economy. Adhering to service innovation, the city will deepen the cultivation of marine biological and health food industry clusters, participate in promoting marine financial innovation, actively strive for support policies for seawater desalination, accelerate the development of the blue carbon economy, continue to release the "source" effect of the blue carbon economy, and promote the construction of a strong marine city to a new level.

■ Expert reviews
Liang Zhenlin, Executive Vice Dean of Ocean College of Shandong University (Weihai) ——
Based on weihai advantages, dare to try first
Weihai has promoted the transformation and upgrading of the marine economy, fully explored the potential of marine industry development, and explored the construction of marine ecological civilization, and made obvious breakthroughs.
Weihai is good at excavating unique advantageous resources, such as excavating the superior marine experimental conditions in the Bay Area, and has created the only marine comprehensive test site jointly built by ministries and provinces in China. With the honor of "national brand", it has attracted state-owned enterprises and central enterprises such as aerospace science and technology, aerospace science and industry, and Zhongguancun to settle down, creating a series of high-end scientific research platforms, laying a good foundation for the development of marine electronic information and intelligent equipment.
Trying first is another important reason for the rapid development of Weihai's marine economy. Weihai quickly launched the blue carbon economy, took the lead in building the only academician workstation on the theme of marine ecological economy in China - Jiao Nianzhi academician workstation and marine negative emission research center, took the lead in completing the formulation of the methodology of kelp breeding carbon sinks, further enlarged the blue carbon source effect, and promoted the further transformation and upgrading of the marine economy.
Based on the existing foundation, I believe that Weihai should adhere to building an international marine science and technology city, cultivate new kinetic energy with scientific and technological innovation, make its own advantages bigger and stronger, and use new technologies and new ideas to cultivate strategic emerging industries, comprehensively enhance the competitiveness of the marine industry, and help high-quality development.
