Datan Wetland Introduction
Datan Wetland Ecological Park is located northeast of Dapeng Bay, adjacent to Provincial Highway 17, at the southern edge of the Datan community. This area has a relatively low elevation and is prone to flooding, so it has been planned as an ecological flood detention basin integrated with an artificial wetland treatment system. During the rainy season, it can serve the function of flood detention, and in the non-rainy season, it can treat domestic sewage, aquaculture wastewater, non-point source pollution from Provincial Highway 17, and some domestic sewage from Dagang Village discharged by the Datan community. The wetland park covers an area of 6 hectares and features an inlet on both the east and west sides, a sedimentation pond, a subsurface flow filter (with filtering media consisting of waste bricks, concrete blocks, gravel, and oyster shells), a grass marsh area, a shallow pool area, an ecological island area, a deep-water area, and an outlet. According to the classification based on stormwater runoff, the Datan Wetland type is between the extended retention type and the bag-shaped type. The wetland configuration process is illustrated in the accompanying diagram. Bird species observed in the wetland include Black-winged Stilts, Little Egrets, Chinese Pond Herons, Kentish Plovers, Oriental Plovers, Bar-tailed Godwits, and Brown-breasted Bulbuls.
