I was blown away by the longing for the live broadcast of the sea

Chapter 96 Flagship Species in the South China Sea

Lin Yang and Yue Er followed Uncle Li on the beach.

at this time.

The camera in the live broadcast room clearly captured small footprints on the white sandy beach.

Lin Yang naturally found out too.

Uncle Li didn't wait for him to speak, so he took the lead in explaining.

"The rows of footprints on these beaches are all left by sea turtles migrating to lay their eggs."

Yue'er who fell behind.

Squatting on the beach, she gently grabbed a handful of white sand.

Baisha slipped from the gap between the fingertips.

Then a gust of sea breeze blew in her face. It made her mouth full of sand.

"Bah, bah, bah, it's so salty!"

The audience in the live broadcast room saw Yue'er's cute and silly actions, and Xiu's scalp went numb.

Lin Yang laughed and said, "It's okay, eating more of this stuff can replenish calcium."

"Lin Shen went too far, he dared to laugh at Miss Yue'er."

"Calcium supplement? What do you mean? Is it because the sand is white?"

"But having said that, ordinary beaches are yellow, why is the sand here white?"

See the audience's questions in the live broadcast room.

Lin Yang explained to the camera.

"The reason why the sand on this island is white is because the main component of these sands is 'coral sand', which is softer than ordinary yellow sand, and it is very comfortable to step on it with bare feet."

"These sands are mainly composed of coral debris, accompanied by lime algae and echinoderm fragments, so these white sands can also be called 'calcareous sands', and it is said that the calcium content reaches 90%."

"Of course, what I said just now can supplement calcium must be a joke. Don't be misled to eat sand, it's a joke."

After listening to Lin Yang's explanation, the audience in the live broadcast room shouted that they learned it again.

soon.

Under the leadership of Uncle Li Wanghai.

Lin Yang and Yueer successfully arrived at the turtle protection station in the center of the island.

The houses here are all low huts built with movable planks.

The only building is particularly eye-catching.

"Are those small huts a protection point for sea turtles? Should the staff live in the building?"

"I haven't seen a single turtle so far, are they still sleeping?"

"Is it true that sea turtles have been hunted to the point where they need to be protected? I didn't know about it before."

"That's right, the last time Lin Shen met a big turtle at random by the sea, I thought the big turtles were flooded."

"Some people should read more books if they have nothing to do."

"By the way, where did Lin Shen's big turtle go? I haven't seen it for a long time."

"Upstairs, Lin Shen said last time that the big turtle left because it was going to breed."

When the audience in the live broadcast room was discussing frantically.

Uncle Li had already led Lin Yang and the two of them towards the small shed area.

Obviously, that's where they live.

"That building is for the injured sea turtles, and they will be released back into the sea after they recover. Recently, the sea turtles are all healthy and there are no shelters. There is nothing to see in the house."

Uncle Li smiled heartily.

Yueer said incredulously.

"It turns out that the only building is still for turtles? They are treated too well, right?"

Actually.

Uncle Li and his colleagues at the Sea Turtle Conservation Station also need to take into account the protection of coral reefs in the surrounding waters.

As well as the greening work on islands and reefs.

Only in this way can more and more sea turtles return to the island to lay eggs.

Uncle Li said with a smile: "A sea turtle lays 5 batches of eggs a year, and the interval between each batch of eggs is only 12 days."

"When the mother turtle lays eggs, where the first batch of eggs are laid, as long as the baby turtles can hatch normally, the second batch of eggs will also be laid in the same place. Therefore, the environment on the island must be improved."

During the chat between Lin Yang and Uncle Li.

The audience also learned a lot about the survival of sea turtles.

Due to early humans' lack of attention to ecological balance, overfishing, and marine pollution and other factors.

The survival of sea turtles has been seriously threatened.

Lin Yang said to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"According to statistics, there are less than 2000 adult sea turtles left in the entire South China Sea in our country. The number is very rare."

"They are sea reptiles of the same period as dinosaurs, known as 'marine living fossils', so it is a miracle of life that their species can survive to this day."

"Moreover, they are not only marine living fossils, but also the 'flagship species' in the waters around the South China Sea."

Lin Yang's words.

Confused the audience.
The meaning of marine living fossils is understood by everyone.

The 8-year-old tortoise of the thousand-year king does not only refer to the long life of the individual.

The age of existence of the entire species order is far longer than that of human beings, so it naturally has the biological research value of "living fossils".

However, what makes the audience more curious is that.

What does this flagship species mean?
"Is there anyone who can come out to popularize science? What does Lin Shen mean by the flagship species?"

"I'll go! Lin Shen started to whet everyone's appetite again."

"Anyway, it sounds awesome."

"Should it be someone with a relatively high ecological niche in a specific ecological circle? No. The fighting power of sea turtles is not very strong."

"The small bench has been moved, the anchor will teach us a lesson."

In the face of the audience's strong thirst for knowledge in the live broadcast room.

Lin Yang smiled and said.

"Because sea turtles live on a variety of small fish and seaweed, in a certain ecological circle, they play a role in maintaining the balance of this species, so they can be called flagship species."

"We can also understand it from other aspects. Flagship species are relatively rare and endangered animals with a certain reputation."

After hearing his explanation, the audience finally understood something.

It turns out that animals that are endangered and have a certain reputation are the flagship species of a certain place.

next to.

Uncle Li also said with a smile: "Sea turtles are a representative species in our South China Sea, and they are highly concerned by the society. When implementing protection, the funds will also be given priority. To put it bluntly, the higher the attention, the better the protection funds." It was approved."

Lin Yang added.

"Compared to the sea turtles in the South China Sea, if we use the giant panda as an analogy, the giant panda is our national treasure and a world-class flagship species. When these representative species are funded and protected, other species in the ecosystem will also be protected. benefit."

"It's another day of learning new knowledge, thank you Lin Shen and Uncle Li for teaching and clearing up doubts."

"Understood. It is famous and rare. When it is protected, other species around it will also be protected."

"Why haven't we seen a sea turtle yet? Could it be that they are all secretly hiding?"

Because it took Lin Yang and Yueer almost five hours to travel here.

By the time they wandered around, the sun was about to set.

Lin Yang's live broadcast was less than two hours old, and it was time for dinner.

Uncle Li was hospitable and hospitable, and Lin Yang and Yueer promised that they would help him with the work of the turtle protection station tomorrow.

Therefore, he specially prepared several dishes tonight.

Uncle Li said: "Eat dinner, you can go back to the boat to rest, and tomorrow morning we will go to patrol the island together."

There are small rooms for rest on the yacht, so Lin Yang and the others don't have to worry about not having a place to sleep at night.

"They're all home-cooked dishes, so don't hold them back."

On the table.

There are stir-fried Chinese cabbage with diced scallops, stewed eggs with sea cucumber, braised flat fish in braised sauce and steamed white standing fish.

There is also a small pot of fresh safflower crab.

This kind of safflower crab does not need any seasoning to cook, just need to dip some seafood soy sauce, and it can be eaten, and the taste is quite delicious.

On this small island in the South China Sea, there is a shortage of food, but the most important thing is seafood.
In the live broadcast room, more than 100 million viewers were also drooling.

"Wow! There are so many seafood, in our inland cities, a few of them would cost several thousand per table."

"The most important thing is freshness. Those fish and crabs were caught by Uncle Li when he went out to sea in the morning."

"I suspect that Uncle Li is in Versailles. Did he have some misunderstanding about 'everyday meal'?"

"look hungry"

It took about an hour for a dinner.

Then, Lin Yang downloaded it.

Today can only be regarded as a stepping point, and tomorrow is the real visit to the turtle protection station.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Yang and Yue Er returned to the yacht to rest.

There are also vacant rooms on the island, but they don't want to bother Uncle Li. After all, the conditions on the island are limited, so it's okay to make do with it.
