It was learned from Ningbo Ocean & Fishery Bureau on May 24 that Nantian Island has been selected by Xiangshan County to apply for the "national experimental base island for ecological construction".

Early this year, the "proposals on experimental base pilots for island ecological construction" was officially issued by the State Oceanic Administration. According to the proposals, during the 12th Five-year Plan period, 15 to 20 experimental bases for island ecological construction will be set up, in an effort to explore the new ecological development pattern of islands exploration and protection, with the characteristics of being green, environmental friendly, low-carbon and energy conservative.

Reportedly, the experimental base of the Nantian Island will fall into the category of "pollutants treatment and recycling base". Its major functions will include the research and demonstration of such technologies as collective waste treatment and recycling and island sewage treatment and recycling.

Since the start of the application work in early 2013, Xiangshan Ocean and Fishery Bureau has helped the experts from the No.2 Ocean Institute of the State Oceanic Administration in their on-scene inspections and selections, and finally selected Nantian Island as a proper candidate.

According to a related person from Xiangshan Ocean and Fishery Bureau, the pilot project of pollutants treatment and recycling base in Nantian Island is an important attempt to the feasibility of island zero-pollutant emission and is of great significance for exploring the suitable pollution treatment methods for islands.
