（24-25高一下·江苏苏州·期中）On the blue ocean surrounding Weizhou Island in Guangxi, a group of volunteers are preparing to dive into the water. Huang Wen and his team have spent years planting, monitoring and surveying coral reefs (珊瑚礁) around the island, diving the waters more than 500 times as part of efforts to restore its coral reefs.
As a professor at the School of Marine (海洋的) Sciences at Guangxi University, Huang developed a strong interest in coral reefs during his diving trips in Malaysia, where he discovered a lively underwater world that looked like a magical aquarium (水族馆) filled with colorful coral. Those trips left a lasting impression on him. “I remember my first dive underwater at Weizhou Island in 2015. I was so disappointed to find low coral coverage,” recalled Huang, explaining why he joined the university’s team to make a change.
Huang said that not only do coral reefs play an important part in keeping the balance of underwater ecosystem, but they also act as a protective barrier for natural disasters such as storms and tsunamis. “Coral reefs are the ‘Great Wall’ of the seabed, capable of keeping out 70% to 90%of wave impacts. Without them, the sandy coastal rocks are easily washed away,” explained Huang. Since the 1950s, global coral reef degradation has become increasingly severe, endangering their survival and leading to the marine life’s dying out.
Under Huang’s guidance, the team has successfully grown more than 10 coral species and over 50,000 individual corals, marking great progress in their restoration efforts. Their hard work has resulted in a survival rate of over 80% for coral in the northern restoration zone, making coral communities thrive and attract diverse marine life.
“I hope more people will join our cause to protect coral reefs,” Huang said, “In the future, our team will continue to perfect our technology and restore more damaged coral reefs. Once our experience on Weizhou Island matures, we plan to expand it to the South China Sea and even overseas.”
