Crystal Daily Commentary | ‘Seeing Shenzhen by Sea’ Project Planning Requires Serious Consideration of Diverse Opinions
''
Recently published the 'Environmental Impact Assessment Report for the First Phase of Shenzhen Bay Channel Dredging Project' draft for soliciting opinions reveals that Shenzhen plans to implement the Shenzhen Bay Channel Dredging Project, with the first phase dredging to the Shenzhen Talent Park Seaport Channel, and upon completion, cruise ships will be able to travel from Xiaogu Port Cruise Terminal to the Talent Park via the Shenzhen Bay Bridge.
This is a very professional report, but many Shenzhen citizens carefully read it and raised many professional opinions, which has attracted wide attention.
As early as 2007, the '' project had already started trial operation, but its operating effect was not as expected. The purpose of proposing a new plan is to comprehensively improve the quality of the project from passenger flow and revenue.
From a geographical perspective, Shenzhen faces the South China Sea, borders Hong Kong and Macao, with a coastline of 260 kilometers and a sea area of 1145 square kilometers, boasting high-quality bay districts such as the Pearl River Estuary, Shenzhen Bay, Dapeng Bay, and Daya Bay. Currently, Shenzhen is working hard to build a global marine center city; from this point of view, upgrading the '' project has a positive aspect.
However, many citizens are worried that the new project plan will negatively impact the Shenzhen Bay environment, especially the habitat of birds.
Some citizens even, through meticulous analysis, gave very professional opinions. They carefully reviewed the Environmental Impact Assessment Report and discovered statements such as 'this will cause the irreversible destruction of benthic organisms of 14.53 tons, aquatic organisms about 136.22 tons, and the estimated fish larvae converted into fish seedlings loss is 219000 grains,' and through analysis and reasoning, they drew the conclusion that 'the project's impact on birds was ignored in the environmental assessment and had a huge impact on Shenzhen Bay birds.'
Since the published is a 'draft for soliciting opinions,' it's for gathering ideas and making decisions more rational and scientific. The passion, professionalism, and rationality displayed by Shenzhen citizens in this public event, as well as Shenzhen people's environmental awareness, are indeed worthy of praise.
Shenzhen people discussing Shenzhen affairs should have 'different approaches,' and in a sense, cherishing and protecting the marine environment is also a matter of building a marine center city.
Relevant departments should patiently and carefully listen to the opinions coming from the people, and give timely responses to core issues such as whether the '' project will affect bird habitats.
The ocean is vast, open and inclusive; letting different viewpoints collide fully, and carefully listening to all sides of the opinions, is the demeanor that Shenzhen should have facing the sea.
