Main natural resources in the sea area near Sansha City

Sansha City is only composed of small islands on the sea, and it does not have the conditions for large-scale commercial development of land cities, but there are three unique resources that cannot be compared with other places.

1, tourism resources

Sansha's beautiful island resources are very attractive to mainland tourists, and its water quality, scenery and climate can all be compared with Maldives. Guided by Yongxing Island in Xisha, the reception center, business center and entertainment center will be established, and the overall tourism project in Xisha will be developed, relying on cities and ports such as Sanya in Hainan to carry out island sightseeing and cruise sightseeing services in Xisha and Nansha. The rise of tourism in the whole South China Sea has made Yongxing Island a holiday resort similar to Male.

2. Fishery resources

The South China Sea covers an area of 3.5 million square kilometers, and China has jurisdiction over more than 2 million square kilometers. There are many kinds of marine fish in the South China Sea, including 1064 species of fish, 135 species of shrimp and 73 species of cephalopods recorded on the continental shelf in the northern part of the South China Sea. 80% of the marine catch in this area comes from the offshore waters along the north coast of the South China Sea. According to experts' estimation, the potential catch of fishery resources in the South China Sea is roughly distributed as follows: the fishing ground on the northern continental shelf of the South China Sea (477,600 square kilometers) is about 1.2 1.000 tons; Beibu Gulf Fishing Ground (164,000 square kilometers) 600,000-700,000 tons; West and Zhongsha fishing grounds (265,438+0,000 square kilometers) 230,000-340,000 tons; Nansha Fishing Ground (7 1 10,000 square kilometers) is 420,000-560,000 tons. The potential catch of fishery resources in the whole region is about 246-28 1 10,000 tons.

Therefore, there are still many rich fishery resources in the South China Sea waiting for us to develop. Sansha City can take the reclamation project of Jinqing Island as the main fishery base, build a large fishing port, and build a shelter and replenishment port in Nansha with the fishery employees from Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian as the main team to develop fishery resources in the South China Sea.

3. Energy resources

The South China Sea, the deepest and largest sea in China, is extremely rich in oil and gas resources. The whole South China Sea basin group has about 23-30 billion tons of petroleum geological resources, and the total amount of natural gas geological resources is about 16 trillion cubic meters, accounting for 13/3 of the total national oil and gas resources, of which 70% is in the deep sea area of15.37 million square kilometers.
