Artificial Wetlands Park Introduction
Dapeng Bay has shed its past military usage and the era of oyster farming, currently developing towards water-based recreational activities. However, to promote these activities, it is essential to consider the water quality. In light of this, the Dapeng Bay Management Office has dedicated significant efforts to long-term water quality monitoring. To improve water quality while restoring the original wetland landscape, the concrete approach involves transforming the surrounding abandoned fish ponds into "constructed wetlands," which require low infrastructure investment, have low operating costs, are easy to manage and maintain, and provide functions such as regulating microclimates and improving the environment. The wastewater treated by the Dapeng Bay constructed wetlands mainly comes from the surrounding aquaculture fish ponds, which use seawater sourced from the Dapeng Bay area. Therefore, the wetlands do not treat freshwater but saline water, making the wetlands in Dapeng Bay some of the few saline constructed wetlands in the country, which is a significant feature. Evidence has shown that the aquatic plants planted in the wetland environment have effectively improved the original ecological landscape, increased the living space for aquatic flora and fauna, enriched and beautified the Dapeng Bay aquatic landscape, and highlighted green ecology.
