Countries across the world observed World Oceans Day on Wednesday. To protect the local underwater ecology of Fenjiezhou Island of Hainan province, Fenjiezhou scenic area authorities, together with oceanic and fishery researchers, have been growing and transplanting corals since 2004.
After years of protection and restoration, the coral coverage rate of Fenjiezhou Island waters has increased. The improvement of the underwater ecosystem has attracted more marine creatures.
