Protecting mangroves a priority for city

Beihai, a coastal city in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, has made great efforts to preserve mangrove trees, which play a key role in protecting marine biodiversity.

To protect the mangroves, Beihai has adopted multiple approaches in recent years, including legislation, creation of reserves and restoring wetlands in recent years, said Feng Feng, a staff member in the Golden Bay Mangrove Ecotourism Zone.

The zone is a wetland reserve dedicated to the protection of the salt-tolerant mangroves, which can endure the harsh conditions at the seaside.
