Editor's Note
In recent years, the Long Island Marine Ecological Civilization Comprehensive Pilot Zone has continued to promote ecological protection and restoration, and the sky on Long Island is bluer, the mountains are greener, and the shoreline is more beautiful, and earth-shaking changes have taken place, and the "Sea Immortal Mountain" has gradually become "blue sea and green mountains". To do a good job of "ecological brand", Long Island should build a "cultural brand". Recently, the reporter walked into Long Island to explore the story behind the construction of the "one island, one product" cultural brand. Please see the second issue of "Daqin - Not to "Kelp Island", I don't know how much kelp there is.
"I don't know how much kelp there is when I don't know how much kelp there is on Daqin Island", which is probably the most intuitive feeling of everyone who has just arrived at Daqin Island. Daqin Island, 54km north of mainland Liaoning Province, 53km south of Penglai District, is the furthest island in Shandong Province from the mainland, with nearly 70 years of kelp farming history, is a veritable "kelp island", kelp is the most shining business card of Daqin Island.
Every year from May to August is the kelp harvesting period, the whole island of Daqin will become a huge drying field, whether it is a ball rock beach, roadside, hillside, in front of the house, behind the house, as long as there is a free place, it will be occupied by drying kelp. Overlooked from the air, the crisscrossing sunbathing fields resemble neatly divided terraces.
After a year, when we come to Daqin Island again, this rich island has a new change, and there are many kelp-themed cultural walls on both sides of the road, which can't help but make people shine.
In the Daqin Island Kelp Culture Theme Pavilion, the staff displayed the processed kelp silk.
"In addition to the kelp culture that can be seen, the kelp culture exhibition hall has also been built." Xu Weixing, a propaganda member of the Daqin Island Township Party Committee, said that there are 12 exhibition areas in the museum, which comprehensively introduce the development history of kelp and the entire breeding process of kelp. In 1972, the Xiaohao Brigade of Daqin Island Township set a national record of 3,000 kilograms of kelp per mu. In 1978, Xiaohao Kelp breeding technology won the National Science Congress Award... After visiting the Kelp Culture Pavilion, people can understand a series of kelp knowledge such as "how kelp grows" and "how to dry on the pebble beach".
"The sea area of Daqin Island is located at the 38th parallel north latitude, seawater nutrition, salinity, depth, water quality and climate, light, especially suitable for the growth of seafood, the production of kelp iodine, alcohol, glue and other content is rich, the export volume accounts for more than 70% of the country." Xu Weixing added that most of the kelp on Daqin Island is dried on pebbles, heating up faster, the air flow is good, and the dried kelp has no impurities such as sand and mud.
Daqin Island has a kelp aquaculture area of 12,000 mu, the annual harvest of fresh kelp 240,000 tons, the processing of dry kelp 24,000 tons, of which 8,000 tons of grade vegetables, 8,000 tons of food vegetables, 8,000 tons of chemical vegetables, the annual output value of 200 million yuan.
"This year is a bumper year, and the overall price this year is up about 10% compared to the same period in previous years." Xu Weixing analyzed, "In the past, exports accounted for a large proportion, this year's domestic merchants ordered more, domestic demand increased, and the purchase price rose." ”
Daqin Island also actively expands cultural and leisure projects in the creation of cultural brands in the "hometown of kelp, fishing and animal husbandry Daqin". Combined with kelp culture exhibition hall, Tangwang Mountain, Dadingwang, Dongcun Caishitan, Nancun Tunnel, Dongcun Nanshan Ruins and Beicun Santiaogou Ruins, etc., cultural and leisure projects such as fishing custom culture, red education base, and science popularization education base were launched.
"We must strengthen the promotion of cultural brands." Xu Weixing said that only by giving full play to the leading role of cultural brands can we better improve the popularity of "Kelp Town, Fishing and Animal Husbandry Daqin" and let kelp culture truly "go out".
