Two big rocks near the beach are well known to people. There is a huge reef plate under the reef, which is exposed at low tide and submerged at high tide. Two big rocks in Baicheng bathroom became a scene. These stones are on postcards. There are two natural reefs on the coastline near Fort Hu Lishan, and their positions have certain influence on the current there. Influenced by the coastal topography and the existence of reefs, the water flow in Baicheng bathing beach is complicated. For example, at low tide, the seawater in the mainstream area flows from north to south to Baicheng sea area; Affected by the protruding part of Huli Mountain, the nearshore current turns from south to north. The coastal and outer currents are inconsistent and in opposite directions, forming topographic circulation.
Anti-clockwise vortex is produced in reef area, especially from semi-tidal to high tide, with fast speed and great vortex change. Many foreign tourists don't understand the terrain and current characteristics here. There are at least 2-3 drowning accidents here every year. September 20 10, a freshman of Xiamen university drowned here for saving people. Previously, there was a placard on the top of a big stone, which read "Swimming is forbidden due to the fast tide", but it was damaged by the wind and waves when the catfish hit on 20 10.

suggestion
Blowing up the reef can make the water flow smoothly.
Conducive to beach reconstruction and protection.
The proposal of the Taiwan League Municipal Committee, "The Renovation of Xiamen Baicheng Beach Bathhouse is Urgent", suggests that the reef should be blown up, which can be recognized by most citizens. It is hoped that the relevant departments will cooperate with the transformation of Baicheng Beach to carry out reef bombing as soon as possible.
The proposal points out that the reef plate in Baicheng sea area should be removed in combination with the ongoing beach improvement project in Baicheng section, so that the underwater terrain becomes flat and the water flow is smooth, which is conducive to the reconstruction and protection of artificial beaches. At the same time, after the reef group is blown up and cleaned, the stones can be transferred to a corner of Huli Mountain, and an artificial guide embankment can be built, which extends into the sea, and a pavilion can be built at the head of the embankment, imitating the design of Qingdao trestle.
The proposal hopes to start the feasibility study of reef blasting project immediately (including the construction of guide dike and the removal of sewage pipeline), put forward the engineering scheme of beach reconstruction, demonstrate the stability of beach reconstruction, and provide basic information for beach renovation in this sea area.
department
This area is an important landscape of the highway around the island.
Will fully study the feasibility.
In reply to the proposal, the Municipal Bureau of Ocean and Fisheries said that Baicheng Beach is a rare natural beach in our city, and our city attaches great importance to the protection of its marine ecological environment. On the basis of long-term observation and special research, the artificial sand supplement project of Baicheng Beach was organized and implemented in 2009, which effectively improved the erosion of Baicheng Beach and slowed down the beach slope.
In the next step, according to the research results of beach power system in the east of the island, the research of beach cycle maintenance, the coastal sand source system and the beach stability maintenance measures, the city will continue to strengthen the restoration of Baicheng bathing beach to ensure the sustainable utilization of Baicheng bathing beach.
The Marine Department will fully study the feasibility of removing reefs and building artificial guide dikes, and solicit public opinions through various forms when necessary, so that the removal work has the technical and social conditions for implementation.
They said that the reef cleaning and artificial dike construction of Baicheng bathing beach involves changing the geological and geomorphological environment of the sea area and affecting the stability of the original beach, and this area is an important landscape node of the highway around the island, and the implementation of the project will have a great impact.
Voice of citizens
Care must be taken when disassembling.
The postcard shows a scene.
Some citizens hold different opinions on whether the reef should be removed and think that it must be carefully removed.
Yesterday, Ms. Chen, a citizen who was playing by the sea, was taken aback when she heard that she was going to clear the reef. She said it shouldn't be blown up. She is an old Xiamen native, she said. There are signs on big stones, which are usually enough to remind people. Moreover, the reef is at a certain distance from the shore. When the water is deep, the average novice swimmer can't get through, and the veteran is familiar with the water here, so the danger won't be too great.
More importantly, she feels that these two reefs have become a unique landscape of Baicheng Beach. "There are these stones on the postcards of Xiamen University Baicheng Bathroom." She said. Some citizens also expressed their opposition. Their opinions are roughly as follows: the reef is only a stopover for swimmers not far from the shore. Without these reefs, Baicheng will lose its beach characteristics. Xiamen University Reservoir is very calm. One or two people die every year. What does it matter? For safety reasons, it is suggested that the beach should be equipped with lifeguards on duty. Blowing up may destroy the dynamic law of water flow, causing the sea sand in Baicheng and nearby beaches to be washed away by water flow. Those people in Xiamen Municipal Committee of Taiwan League probably don't understand the dynamics of water flow and can do such a thing that destroys the original ecology. There was an accident with the bullet train. Are you going to blow up the bullet train? What an idiot! It is important to strengthen management, and not to blow up reefs, which will affect the wave strength and slope protection, just like human nose hair, so don't give up eating because of choking! Beauty should be about science! It seems that Taiwan League or NLD has created a fable that Siming is an elevated bridge across the north and south. Could you please make a feasibility analysis and environmental assessment of such a proposal in the future? It is absolutely impossible to pass. Why did you bring it up? It is a sin to destroy the precious wealth left by nature to Xiamen. It is unforgivable to destroy the white stone fort in the process of building the island road. I hope the government will stop doing such stupid things. If natural things are destroyed, they can never be regenerated, and no matter how superb artificial technology is, they can never imitate nature!
They also believe that the large area and different postures of Baicheng Reef are a gift from heaven to Xiamen and an integral part of the beautiful scenery of Baicheng. Cherishing life should be strongly supported, but it is not necessary to blow up the reef. Secondly, it is debatable to what extent reef blasting can reduce eddies. Relevant departments of the city also believe that the reef cleaning and the construction of artificial guide dike in Baicheng bathing beach have played a certain role in the stability of Baicheng coastline, and reef explosion may cause the coastline of Baicheng to be eroded.
"China Marine Environmental Protection" also mentioned: "Due to unreasonable damming around the sea, blind development and utilization of islands, random destruction of island ecology, artificial destruction such as island bombing, reef bombing, indiscriminate mining, indiscriminate excavation, large-scale indiscriminate excavation of coral reefs, and deforestation, the diversity of marine ecological species is reduced, and natural disasters such as typhoons, storm surges and seawater intrusion are frequent."
Cherish natural resources and protect coral reef landscape. We can protect the "Queen yehliu's Head" in Taipei County, install an "electronic fence" to prevent tourists from entering, use special funds to protect the "stone old man" in Laoshan Mountain, and then apply for the protection of a reef in Jialing River in Beibei, Chongqing. It can be seen that whether Taiwan Province Province is still in the mainland or not, it spares no effort to protect the reef landscape.
Turn the reef into a tourist area, so that visitors can watch the reef at close range and experience the pleasure of walking in the sea on the wooden plank road. What's more, the relationship between cherishing life and protecting Baicheng Reef is not the relationship between "fish" and "bear's paw". As long as proper measures are taken, they can have both.
A group of enthusiasts who swim in this area all the year round. Most people disapprove of blowing up the iconic coral reef. Reason:
1, none of the drowning in Baicheng area is related to reefs, and all of them occur near the beach and water. Those who can swim near the reef are good players, and nothing has ever happened.
2. It cost 3 million to transport several ships of sand in Baicheng. If these reefs are to be removed, it will cost a lot to transform the water flow.
If you really want to prevent drowning, you might as well spend money on:
A, learn the method of Dadeji Beach in Gulangyu Island, and enclose the swimming area with floating ropes (similar to swimming pool lanes) near the beach. People who lack water can swim in it.
B, Baicheng Beach sewage pipe was removed, and swimmers swam to avoid the sewage area.
C, strengthen the safety publicity of professionals and volunteers on the beach (also promote no littering together).
Baicheng Beach has become a favorite place for ordinary people. Looking at the daily flow of people, the government should increase its investment here.
It is suggested that government departments should take the following measures to comprehensively manage Baicheng bathing place, strengthen safety management, implement environmental protection measures, improve the management level of Baicheng bathing place, and create a safe and high-quality tourism and leisure environment for citizens and tourists. They suggested:
1. It is suggested that the swimming area should be surrounded by floating ropes, similar to the Dadeji Bath in Gulangyu Island. (See Figure 6)
2. It is suggested to set up a lookout, arrange full-time lifeguards to be on duty and equip with lifeboats.
3. Organize volunteers to patrol the seaside near the reef, post signs warning tourists not to litter, and give corresponding sanctions to violators (referring to illegal vehicles).
4, governance bath surrounding environment. The sewage from Baicheng Bath Bus Station is concentrated on the beach next to the station, so it is suggested to treat it thoroughly.
5. It is suggested to make a circle of wooden plank road around the reef. The plank road can be illuminated at night, and warning signs are constantly displayed in the changing lights to warn tourists to pay attention to safety. If swimmers can be warned by the voice control system when approaching the rocks, it will not only have safety measures, but also preserve the natural features, which may add color to the scenic spots in Xiamen.
6. Build a simple dressing room, which is convenient for swimmers to change clothes after landing. Swimmers always bring a bottle of water from home to the seaside, and old people in their seventies and eighties are no exception, and it is even more difficult to change clothes. After the locker room is completed, swimmers can enter with their cards and deduct money according to the water consumption. You need to swipe your card when washing the swimming pool with hot water in Xiamen University. You can refer to it.
I urge the government to listen to public opinion, increase the restoration work of Baicheng bathing beach and ensure the sustainable utilization of Baicheng bathing beach.
The rocks in the sea area from Baicheng to Huli Mountain led by Xiamen Municipal People's Government are beautiful scenery given to Xiamen by heaven and nature, leaving endless praise for generations of Xiamen people and even guests from all walks of life. Excuse me: Whose idea was it to blow up the reef? What's the intention? The land in Xiamen is almost sold out. Are you going to sell the sea next? ! Whoever advocates or agrees to bomb the above islands and reefs is a sinner despised by Xiamen people!
