Fishing Family Sees Livelihood Transformed after Island Renewal

A fisherman's family in Zhaoshu Island in the South China Sea has seen a drastic turnaround over the past decade since the island underwent an ecological transformation.
The 30-minute documentary "Greening the Blue" reveals how life for Chen Siyu's family has changed -- from living in a temporary shelter to inhabiting a two-story sea-view apartment.
In 2014, even drinking water was hard to come by for Chen's family. In that same year, however, a seawater desalination plant and power stations were established on the island.
Once virtually barren, Zhaoshu has become a veritable treasure island of greenery after eight years of ecological conservation efforts by Sansha City, Hainan Province. The initiative resulted in the construction of numerous modern, environmentally friendly buildings.
By 2016, Zhaoshu had electricity, 4G networks, and running water.
Once the new fishermen's village was completed on October 1, 2019, Chen's family moved in and now enjoy a clean supply of running water.
The new documentary on ecological conservation in the South China Sea by China Global Television Network (CGTN) will air on July 8, 2024.
The production also shows how a rescued sea turtle returns home, coral gardens are replanted, and sand beaches are turned into green islands in the South China Sea as a result of conservation efforts over the past more than 10 years.
China has set a target of defining at least 150,000 square kilometers of marine areas for protection by 2030 in its Biodiversity Conservation Strategy and Action Plan (2023-2030).
