"Unexpectedly, the good ecology makes us get money!" A few days ago, Dongshan County Xiaxikeng Village in Qianlou Town will pay 60 yuan medical insurance subsidy to each registered villager who has paid medical insurance in the village. Xu Meizhen, a villager, will share the subsidy with his friends immediately.
Location of Xiaxikeng Village Dongshan Island In the southwest, it is the key area for suspended cultivation of shellfish and algae in the county, which mainly cultivates high carbon and carbon fixing varieties such as asparagus, kelp, oysters, abalone, etc. The annual output value of mariculture exceeds 200 million yuan Zhangzhou City The first ecological breeding village has successively won the honorary titles of provincial village revitalization demonstration village, village with outstanding achievements in rural revitalization, industrial revitalization demonstration village, water fishing village, green village, tourism characteristic village, etc. It is estimated that the annual carbon sink capacity of aquaculture in the Xiaxikeng Village sea area is 16772.41 tons, and the carbon sink value is 946100 yuan. The blue carbon market has great potential.
In June last year, Dongshan County Procuratorate established the "Demonstration Base of Blue Carbon Justice Helping Rural Revitalization" in Xiaxikeng Village, hired the "Public Interest Litigation Technical Officer" team from the College of Biological Sciences of Minnan Normal University to issue the carbon sink measurement and evaluation report of Xiaxikeng Village, and guided the parties involved to sign the Agreement on Voluntary Subscription of Marine Carbon Sink, which was worth 105000 yuan for 1860 tons of marine carbon sink in Xiaxikeng, This is the first case of on-site subscription of marine carbon sinks in China, and also the first practical case of Zhangzhou City's blue carbon justice helping rural revitalization. Up to now, Dongshan Procuratorate has guided the parties to subscribe 2215.42 tons of marine carbon sinks at a subscription price of more than 340000 yuan.
How to feed back the ecological dividend to the villagers and guide them to participate in the ecological environment protection more actively? "This fund will be used for ecological protection and livelihood projects such as marine ecological restoration and rural residential environment improvement in Xiaxikeng Village, to achieve a virtuous circle of 'resources into assets, assets into funds, funds into resources'," said Xu Yijie, chief procurator of Dongshan County Procuratorate.
Yan Lifang, the first secretary of Xiaxikeng Village assigned by the Organization Department of the Zhangzhou Municipal Party Committee, said that in recent years, Xiaxikeng Village has taken "cleaning, renovation, demolition and governance" as its focus, cleared 800 meters of coastal levees, cleaned up more than 1100 mu of port waters, replaced 420000 floating balls, built 3250 full plastic aquaculture fish rafts, cleaned up illegal customized net aquaculture in its jurisdiction, and established "110 on the sea" and "red steward" in the sea area Regularly salvage floating garbage and comprehensively maintain the good ecological environment of the sea area. Because of the good ecological protection, Xiaxikeng Village earned the first barrel of "ecological gold".
"We didn't know the importance of protecting the sea before, but now we all know that production waste must be brought back. We can only breed well after the water is clean, which is a matter of self-interest." At Xiaxikeng Wharf, the farmer Xu Junyong has just returned from the sea to feed fish, and there are more than 300 feed bags on the shore with him. In the past, farmers used to throw feed bags into the sea. According to the calculation of 100 fish rafts in Xikeng Village, 3000 feed bags will be produced every year, which not only pollutes the marine environment, but also hinders the navigation channel. In recent years, under the continuous environmental protection publicity and guidance of Dongshan Procuratorate and the village party branch, farmers have become accustomed to bringing production waste such as feed bags and slings ashore for recycling.
Recently, the blue carbon theme park built in Xiaxikeng Village with carbon sink funds was also opened. Under the blue sky and white clouds, like grass and grass, all kinds of blue carbon science knowledge are accompanied to further deepen people's understanding of marine ecological protection.
Next, Dongshan County will continue to take the blue carbon justice service for the blue carbon economy as the entry point, and promote the experience of carbon sink trading by strengthening the "five long and four seas" cooperation mechanism, so as to promote the rural revitalization from point to area.
