Abstract:
After on-the-spot investigation of Wenzhou’s coastal conditions, I witnessed with my own eyes the significant ecological burden caused by the government’s crazy reclamation. Through this project, I hope to use eco-friendly artificial dunes to reshape the ecological status of this area and provide or return a living place to Wenzhou’s wetland birds (tens of thousands of migratory birds and even year-round birds live here every year) live in the coastal areas of Wenzhou, but their numbers are declining significantly every year as reclamation activities begin). Of course, the coastal areas of public activity that the government has wasted should also be recaptured. This project starts from the tidal sand bar abandoned by the government, where people can build small-scale dune basements using simple tools such as coconut shells and wetland plants, and then let the sea breeze complete their construction. The most important thing is that the whole process is Be eco-friendly. Further from the coast we have to use larger tools to build the foundations of larger dunes, but I believe the ecological advantages they bring far outweigh these problems.
