Qinzhou is an important port connecting Guangxi and ASEAN countries, and its location is highly beneficial, granting the city tremendous advantages in economic development. But the city has made it clear that urban development should give way to ecological protection.

In 2005, the construction of an industrial zone at the port was moved westward from the original location to ensure the dolphins are left undisturbed. In 2009, a new road was built that served as the "red line" to separate the port and the bay protection area. Besides, a project with an investment of billions of yuan within the red line was also halted.
