Enthralled by cutting-edge marine demonstrations such as underwater robots and the icebreaking research vessel, Xuelong, the children, however, didn't forget their responsibilities as reporters. They took out their pens, cameras and mobile phones, documenting important and interesting things, not any less professional than other adult journalists.

Mo was happy for the students to gain more knowledge about marine culture, and said that "CMEE 2016 is a signboard for Zhanjiang, and we hope to unveil its hidden historic values to young students through marine knowledge education."
