While others were busy starting work after the New Year, Zhuang Haiyang and his crew were mostly doing part-time jobs. In fact, many crew members are able to find suitable work on a farm or ranch before they go to sea.

Only when the fleet goes to sea will they be temporarily called on board. After the year, a new batch of retired non-commissioned officers were also assigned different jobs. The arrival of these newcomers has undoubtedly expanded the ranks of retired non-commissioned officers in the team again.

After inspecting the ranch on Shawei Island, Zhuang Haiyang did not return to Nanzhou by plane, but chose to follow the supply ship that transported the supplies and returned to Nanshan Island by sea, preparing to stay on Nanshan Island for two days.

Concubine Li, who is on the farm with her children, also knows that the fishing company has a new plan this year, and she thinks that it will not be long before she goes to sea. In the next period of time, I am afraid that the time for Zhuang Haiyang and the fleet to go to sea will be extended.

Looking at Hong Wei, who came to pick up people, Zhuang Haiyang also asked carefully: "Have the ships of the fleet been refitted?"

"Actually, there are no modifications, just some electronic equipment has been replaced. I have to say that except for the inability to install weapon systems, the other systems we use are not much different from warships. ”

After all, the situation in the sea area we went out this time is still quite complicated. With a little more preparation, it's safer after all. I don't like to cause trouble, but I can't guarantee that things will come to me sometimes, don't you say?"

"It seems to be the same!"

In the process of chatting with Hong Wei, Zhuang Haiyang did not specifically check what equipment had been replaced by the three distant-water fishing vessels. But he knew one thing, this kind of application for replacing equipment was also actively coordinated by the navy.

In addition, several technical non-commissioned officers who have just been recruited this year will also be added to the fleet and become part of the fleet's steering group. Compared with the sensitivity of warships going to sea, civilian ships like Zhuang Haiyang are undoubtedly freer.

When the fleet arrived at Nanshan Island, looking at the slightly quiet Nanshan Island, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "With the expansion of our business and the transfer of strategy, this side of Nanshan Island is getting quieter and quieter. However, it is also good that there is a rare place of tranquility. ”

"That's it, no matter how big the territory is outside, this is also our base camp and starting place!"

Compared with those soldiers stationed on the island who guard the isolated island, the conditions on this side of Nanshan Island are undoubtedly better. For the security team members stationed in Nanshan, they actually like the environment here. The job is not much, and the salary is better than in the army.

If you really feel bored on the island, you can take a boat to the town or the main island for leisure and entertainment when it comes to a rotation or holiday. Don't look at the least number of people stationed on Nanshan Island, but many people know that this place is the most important thing for Zhuang Haiyang.

Looking for the person in charge of security on duty this year, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Lao Li, after a while, the above will send an expedition team over, and they should live on the island for a period of time to conduct scientific and environmental investigations on the waters around Nanshan Island."

This visit is more about making the final research for applying for marine protected areas. What your security team has to do is not only to ensure the safety of the experts and members of the expedition team, but also to do a good job in the corresponding logistics support. ”

"Rest assured, boss, we will guarantee that the task will be completed. ”

"Well, I don't doubt your abilities. In addition to this matter, the local chickens raised on the desert islands also need you to work harder. The work of picking up eggs alone is a headache for you, isn't it?"

"Indeed, the native chickens on the island lay eggs and hid them tightly. Sometimes you can't find it at once, and it may really break. ”

In the past, tourists visited the island from time to time, which really eased the work of the security team. Now this kind of egg picking work, although it can increase their extra income. But in the face of those local chickens who are good at hiding eggs, the team members really have a headache.

Fortunately, Zhuang Haiyang also knew about this situation, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I have said hello to the travel company before, and then they will select some tourists from the tourists who come to the ranch and come here in the name of going to the sea for sightseeing."

Come in the morning, go back in the evening, and during the day, soak on those desert islands to pick up eggs for us. We will also sell the eggs we pick up at a relatively cheap price to these tourists who like to eat the eggs. ”

Upon hearing this, the person in charge of security also smiled and said, "That's fine! But if that's the case, won't you lose money?"

"It's not a big problem! With the establishment of the poultry breeding center on the farm, we still have no big problem with the supply of eggs. Since those tourists have demand, let's distribute it a little more. As for income, it's not a lot!"

Seeing that Zhuang Haiyang, the boss, said this, the person in charge of security naturally didn't say anything. Don't look at the large number of local chickens raised on the desert island, but the first team members who came over know that the environment of the desert island has become better.

Unlike in the past, where rocks were everywhere, these deserted islands are now mostly covered in grass and bushes. It is precisely because there are many grasses and bushes that it is difficult to pick up eggs.

Different from the laying hens raised in the farm, most of the eggs sold on Nanshan Island are picked up manually, and they are also born in the wild. It can be said that this is the real local egg, and the quality will be loved by tourists and diners.

Picking up eggs can be hard work for security guards. But Zhuang Haiyang believes that for many tourists who experience farm life, they will enjoy the taste of picking up eggs on the island in person.

After arranging these things, Zhuang Haiyang confessed again: "When it comes to underwater investigations, when you need the cooperation of the diving team members, you must also tell the diving team members to be cautious. The sea is not deep, but it is also safe.

Secondly, during the investigation of the investigation team, it is also necessary to try to avoid foreign crew members landing on the island. In addition, contact the maritime administration and fishery administration departments to carry out corresponding inspections of fishing vessels near the sea area to prevent violations of laws and regulations.

If it is an offshore fishing vessel, as long as the fishing gear used meets the standards required by the state, you should not obstruct it too much, explain the situation in the vicinity to them, and I believe they will understand. If you don't understand, just report the situation. ”

"Understood!"

The reef area in the back mountain of Nanshan Island, the underwater reef area near Guijian Rock, and the submarine coral reef group that received tourists for sightseeing before will be the core area for the security team to inspect and pay attention to, and it is also an area where foreign ships are prohibited from approaching.

In order to apply for this marine ecological reserve, Zhuang Haiyang has reduced the number of tourists it receives since last year. The small area of the submarine coral reef group has now expanded a lot.

It can be said that for many criminals engaged in coral reef poaching, they naturally have their eyes on this coral reef group suitable for poaching. Fortunately, the security team patrols very frequently, so those people have no chance.

In addition to equipping the security team with patrol speedboats, Zhuang Haiyang also deliberately purchased drones with a good range. Unless the other party sends divers to dive long distances from the island. Otherwise, it will not be easy to poach coral reefs.

The other two areas that need special attention are naturally because of these two reef areas, where a lot of precious seafood lives. Lobster and crab aside, the mere wild native abalone is enough to prove its rarity.

Don't look at other seas today, you can also find some pure wild abalone. But everyone knows that there are fewer and fewer such places, and it is difficult to form a cluster effect. In contrast, the situation on the side of Nanshan Island is completely different.

Years of conservation, coupled with orderly harvesting, have allowed the two wild abalone breeding areas cultivated by Zhuang Haiyang to bear fruit. In addition to the top-quality abalone that meets the standards that can be harvested every year, there are also a large number of small abalone growing wildly.

The diversity of marine life is also the reason why marine biochemistry and environmental experts pay attention to it. At the end of this investigation team, I believe that the brand of the marine ecological reserve should be truly approved.

As the leaseholder and protector of this sea area, as long as Zhuang Haiyang does not do anything that destroys or affects the marine ecology, other people want to fight the idea of this sea area, but I am afraid that there is no chance. And this will also be Zhuang Haiyang's first experimental field.

In the future, Zhuang Haiyang will also look for a second natural fishing ground suitable for development in the offshore waters of Baoling. In fact, there are several uninhabited desert islands off the coast of Baoling, but the situation over there is not as good as that on Nanshan Island.

After staying on Nanshan Island for two days, and then taking a speedboat back to Zhuang Haiyang in Baoling, he also spread more beneficial energy in the surrounding waters. With the improvement of the sea water quality and marine ecology in the core area, this radiation circle has also begun to expand to the periphery.

For those divers who go to the sea every once in a while to check on the sea, they will also be very surprised to see the seafood that lives leisurely on the bottom of the sea. The reason is that precious seafood, which is rare in other places, is easy to see here.

The most surprising thing for the security team members was to see a small group of large yellow croakers in the reef area of Nanshan Island. The most surprising thing for them is that this large yellow croaker group seems to have changed its original migration habits.

Swim every day in the reef area of the back mountain, where you can breed and grow. It is believed that in a few years, the population of these large yellow croakers will expand a lot. At that time, the entire reserve will also have a large number of precious large yellow croaker.

In addition to the large yellow croaker, not to mention the wild grouper. There are also rare and wild seafood such as lobster and abalone. If the reserve is set up, there will be planned fishing every year in the future, which will also make Zhuang Haiyang make a lot of money.

Some people may be red-eyed when they learn about these situations, but people with discerning eyes know that if Zhuang Haiyang had not spent huge manpower and material resources to protect this sea area from the beginning, how could the current situation have been formed?

In the final analysis, orderly fishing and continuous protection of marine ecology are the best ways to improve the existing situation of fishing-free waters and pollution. It's just that for the vast majority of people, when they see these precious seafood, can they rest assured that they will not catch them?

If it were replaced by other leaseholders, I am afraid that these precious seafood that are now bred will be caught long ago. The so-called ecological protection is even more impossible. Perhaps because of this, the above will be so relieved of Zhuang Haiyang!
