In a wave of Hainan's real estate boom, Sanya will invest 2.8 billion yuan in the artificial island to build up to more than 300 meters of the 108-storey seven-star hotel, the news was sent out, immediately attracted the public netizens of the non-consensual: Sanya Bay has been a large area of reclamation, and now have to do it all over again, the ecological balance will be damaged; Hainan in the past, missed the opportunity to legislate for protection of the coastal zone a number of times, the immediate future is facing the The situation of the water can't be retrieved. Investment of 2.8 billion yuan, reclamation of 7.23 hectares, landfill artificial island, and then build 108 floors on the island, more than 300 meters high seven-star hotel, this is a feat or a mania.
This artificial reclaimed island plan has become the focus of attention of all parties, the focus of conflict, in Hainan, the local sparked a huge controversy, folk worried about reclaiming the island will cause damage to the marine environment, and even repeat Dubai shrinking and sinking, and the official said that there is no need to worry about.
Millennium Hotel through the environmental assessment of the news once released, that attracted the attention of many netizens. In the Hainan section of the major forums, it is not difficult to find comments on this matter, netizens generally believe that the city of Sanya to build a hundred seven-star hotel can be, but why must reclaim the island to build it? Netizens question mainly focuses on: "Sanya why reclamation to build an artificial island?" , "Reclamation of artificial islands on the marine ecological environment, how much impact?" "Sanya is to become the second Dubai?"
Although Sanya does not lack of land, but Hainan's biggest feature and the most attractive place is afraid of escaping the "seascape" said that this invariably divided the land out of the three, six, nine, etc., so since the immediate front line of seascape land has very little left, why not reclaimed land? Although the cost of reclamation is not low and time is also long, but the economic benefits will be correspondingly higher, and also eliminates the need for land acquisition, demolition and relocation of a whole lot of trouble.
"This reclaimed sea, so much cement, but also to play 108 layers of foundation, is not the marine life to the point of no home?" Some followers said, Hainan near the Gulf of Tonkin waters for the seismically active zone, and every year there are a number of typhoons landing, reclaiming the island to build a hotel in addition to the marine ecological environment will cause damage, its own safety issues are also worth worrying about.
Reclamation project expert demonstration review team leader, marine experts Zhu Yuehua said in an interview with reporters, "(Millennium Hotel) why the original tropical marine park on the west coast of Sanya", "why reclaim the island" and other issues in the Millennium Hotel site selection demonstration is also the focus of the expert group to consider. The project can pass the demonstration mainly based on the following two points: First, the Tropical Marine World is not well run, has been out of business for many years, such a good land and natural resources idle waste too bad; Second, the International Convention and Exhibition Center covers an area of more than 100,000 acres, the construction and operating costs are high, but the return is very small, the government must be like the Millennium Hotel such as ancillary projects to the developer of a certain amount of compensation, otherwise no one will invest. And building a hotel on an artificial island is very attractive to developers.
"Any reclamation project will have a certain impact on the marine environment, and from the information and situation available so far, the Millennium Hotel artificial island project will have little impact on the surrounding ecological environment." Zhu Yuehua introduced that the demonstration review group is mainly composed of seven experts in geology, ocean, environment and biology, etc., and they have made full scientific demonstration from various aspects such as the site selection of the artificial island, undersea geological structure, and the impact on the tidal currents and the surrounding organisms after the completion of the project.
The evaluation panel concluded that, firstly, the artificial island is 268 meters away from the coast, and through numerical modeling experiments, it has been proved that building an artificial island at this location has the least impact on the tidal current, and basically will not lead to siltation in the middle sea area between the artificial island and the coast. Secondly, the selected sea area is not an ecologically sensitive area, not a rare marine life zone, marine life spawning ground, baiting ground, migratory corridor, and not a commercial aquaculture area and coral and mangrove nature reserve, so basically there is little impact on the marine and coastal organisms. In addition, the shores of this sea area are mostly rocky reefs, so there is basically no impact on the beach at the sea.
Can a 108-story, 300-meter-high building be built on the artificial island? Zhu Yuehua believes that the waters of the geological foundation is relatively good, mainly basalt, from the existing information, in terms of geology is not at all need to worry about, there will not be like Dubai artificial island shrinkage sinking situation.
Zhu Yuehua believes that although land reclamation has caused a lot of controversy, the world has never stopped land reclamation. Regional location, transportation, ecological environment and other aspects of the advantages, decided to reclaim the land is the trend. Hainan's land reclamation is in the initial stage, the action is small, compared to Tianjin Binhai New Area, Shanghai Pudong Airport, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and other land reclamation scale is much smaller. Therefore, the pros and cons of reclaiming land, but also need further discussion and verification, neither blindly follow the trend, nor a stick to death.
