travel on the tip of the tongue

Lin Shenlu is in a particularly good mood today, probably because of diving.

In fact, if there is time and opportunity, Lin Shenlu really wants to get a diving certificate.

After all, as far as Lin Shenlu knows, those really powerful divers can dive to a depth of [-] meters, but he is far from enough.

Today's diving is very shocking, Lin Shenlu is recalling this beautiful underwater world.

If you don't dive, you may never see these tiny creatures on the bottom of the sea. Although they are small, they still exude charming light and dress up the vast underwater world.

It can be said that diving really opened Lin Shenlu to another colorful world.

Lin Shenlu was sorting out his camera in the tent. It was a picture of a clownfish. It is a beautiful fish with a lot of fish in Xisha. Of course, it is also one of the most familiar marine animals besides daily seafood. " The protagonist of "Finding Nemo" lives in symbiosis with sea anemones and lures other fish to survive by virtue of their appearance. They are widely distributed in the Paracel Islands, and they can be found every time you dive.

Lin Shenlu flipped back, and saw a photo of cleaning shrimp that he took. This is a creature that feeds on dead skin and parasites on fish, because it is very beneficial to the health of fish, so They can attach to the fish for a long time without being chased away by the owner.

This kind of guy is also very common in Xisha.

There is also the sea anemone crab in this photo, because the shell is soft and unprotected, so it likes to live among sea anemones or staghorn corals. When it senses the invasion of foreign objects, it will pretend to be mighty to attract prey, and then the sea anemone uses Share food together after the stinger is settled.

Well, there is also this cute sea hare, which is called sea hare because of its two long tentacles. In fact, it is a kind of shellfish that lives in shallow seas. Their shells have degenerated into inner shells. In the waters of the Xisha Islands , a total of 21 species of sea hares have been discovered and named.

Lin Shenlu found that the little guys he photographed all depended on corals for a living. Except for themselves, the corals in the back...

Coral is equally beautiful.

But it is said that the coral population in Xisha has encountered a situation, that is, the massive growth of long-thorn starfish, like locusts ravaging farmland, they eat a large number of corals, and have a serious impact on the seabed ecology. If conditions and technology permit, people who come here will bring Collect the bags, salvage all the long-thorn starfish you see on board, and throw them into the trash can for unified disposal.

Lin Shenlu knew that in 2012, the number of corals on the Great Barrier Reef decreased by 40% in one year, and the culprit was the explosive growth of long-thorn starfish. Now the corals in the South China Sea have also encountered a similar situation. They are all organizing personnel to salvage long-thorn starfish, but it is everyone's responsibility to protect the seabed ecology, let alone the property of the Chinese people.

The coral ecology of Xisha is in a critical period of recovery and growth. It is the responsibility of every Xisha diver to protect them.

After all, the coral reef only grows a few centimeters a year, and every time a spiny starfish is eliminated, an additional piece of coral can be protected.

Of course, if Lin Shenlu remembers correctly, the spines of this thorny starfish contain neurotoxins, which will cause redness and swelling of the skin, causing unbearable pain. When handling them, you must not use bare hands, it is best to have clips.

Lin Shenlu took a deep breath, looking at the photos in his hand, he was very relaxed and happy, freed from the shackles of the city, feeling that everything in this open world is so beautiful, people, sometimes this is the need to escape, escape from all negative factors, and give yourself some Space and time, think about what you want most, wait until the battery is fully charged, and then go back to the original world.

……

A new day, and the first day of diving.

Lin Shenlu found that he has fallen in love with the interesting activity of diving.

At this moment, the boat is getting farther and farther away from Yagong Island, the arc of the island is becoming more and more blurred, and the fishing boats are starting to be sparse. At this moment, the feeling of long-distance sailing becomes stronger. Looking forward, Lin Shenlu was in a particularly comfortable mood.

What is inversely proportional to my comfort is that many people on board hide themselves in a quiet corner, watching the scenery outside the string quietly...

, as if already overwhelmed by today's beauty.

Lin Shenlu stood alone, the scenery in front of him did not disappoint at all, the grand atmosphere, the entire sea was like a golden brocade, spreading endlessly, looking around, there was no trace of land anymore , solitary ships are inlaid on this arc-shaped sea level.

At this moment, only Lin Shenlu was alone on the deck, and the movie-like scene was hard not to remind people of the impressive "Life of Pi", which was equally endless, beautiful and full of despair and loneliness. Shenlu walked to the forefront of the bow, spread his arms, and let the wind blow through his armpits. At that moment, the clichéd plot that everyone had imitated gave people the greatest joy.

Not long after, other people came up one after another, standing on Lin Shenlu's side, admiring the beautiful scenery. Everyone agreed that they did not disturb the tranquility of this beautiful scenery, but decorated the scenery on both sides of the ship's side.

……

Before arriving at the new diving site, Lin Shenlu began to blow the sea breeze to watch the seagulls. The turbulence of the boat drove the fish away. The bright eyes of the seagulls always found their traces at the first time, and then plunged into them.

Dolphins also love to eat fish. Once again, Lin Shenlu met dolphins.

When their figures appeared, the entire cabin was boiling. Those who slept, played cards, and talked about love all rushed out. Because of the overfishing in the past, Pacific short-nose dolphins are almost extinct in the South China Sea. Fishing protection, the ecology has been greatly restored, and the elves have finally returned to this sea area, which makes people happy.

In the past few years, the country's economy has developed, and environmental protection has become better and better. When many people traveled in the northwest, they saw that the Mu Us Desert and the Kubuqi Desert had been covered by vegetation, and the sandstorms that once ravaged the north also disappeared. .

Some people are traveling in Daxing'an Mountains. The conversion of farmland to forests has allowed the population of wild animals to recover rapidly, so travelers have photographed reindeer in the mountains and forests.

But now in Xisha, Lin Shenlu saw dolphins as a traveler, and couldn't help but...

Don't let people have expectations for this deep blue underwater world.

In order to protect the environment, the fishermen in the South China Sea are transforming, developing seafood farming in the near sea, and developing tourism in the far sea. The ecology of the South China Sea has been restored, and the beautiful scenery left to the younger generations does not need to be envious of the scenery outside.

……

Lin Shenlu was lamenting that if one had to describe the beauty of Yuzhuo Reef, then clichéd words like rich, charming and beautiful would not be able to describe its beauty! !

After many hours of sailing, when I saw the charming colors of the lagoon, I only had one thought, to quickly jump in with the BCD on my back, and swim freely like a fish. This is a kind of proud emotion surging in my blood. In so many dives, I have never been so excited.

The boat broke down at the edge of the deep sea area of ​​Yuzhuo Reef. Lin Shenlu and his team will dive along the cliffs of the lagoon. Yuzhuo Reef is an atoll with a depth of more than 2000 meters. Lin Shenlu's team will circle around at 25 meters. Atoll forward.

The reef of Yuzhuo Reef is very beautiful, full of vigor and vitality. Layers of huge waves rush in from afar, where they meet, collide, turmoil, and make noise.

There are many such trenches on the reef, which look like human pupils when viewed from a high place, very beautiful

The most eye-catching underwater scenery of Yuzhuo Reef are all kinds of sea fans. Sea fans are very similar to soft corals. They attach to the reef and only eat plankton. They need strong currents to bring food.

Although they look like plants, they are real animals.

Sea fans are like corals with branch-like branches. The texture is very brittle and easily broken, but it is also easy to reproduce in this way. There are many small white polyps on the thin branches, so when taking pictures at close range Just be careful not to break them.

Sea fans of various colors are very eye-catching in the coral pile.

Another feature of Yuzhuo Reef is that there are a large number of soft corals. They are soft corals with no hard bones, only small bone needles scattered in the tissues. Their groups are composed of hypertrophic tissues... .. .

Composed, soft and springy, Captain Tutu affectionately calls them sea pork.

Very colorful underwater world, the only regret is that due to the overfishing in the past few years, there are relatively few big people who have settled in Yuzhuo Reef, so the whole diving process is still mainly to see corals.

Lin Shenlu always relies on neutral buoyancy to keep himself close to the reef when shooting. The shooting position must be low, so that the sea water becomes the background of the coral, so that the shots will look good.

Sea anemones of various colors are also bright colors during diving.

……

Huaguang Reef, the land where the raging sea sinks the sand

Xisha is a beautiful and rich island reef in the South China Sea, and it is the only place that the ancient maritime silk road must pass through.

Due to the dense coral reefs, many ancient merchant ships hit the rocks and sank here, forming rich underwater cultural relics.

This is not only of great archaeological research value, but also an important witness of the activities of the Chinese nation in the South China Sea for generations.

Lin Shenlu likes to watch Third Uncle's "The Raging Sea Sinking Sands", and also often pays attention to the news of Xisha, so the whole Xisha Islands Lin Shenlu is actually most concerned about the Huaguang Reef in front of him, because the famous Huaguang Reef No. 1 shipwreck ruins.

This site is located on the inner side of Huaguang Reef Atoll.

It was accidentally discovered by local fishermen in 1996, and after archaeological excavation, through the study of one of the blue and white glazed bowls engraved with the words made by Pan Sanlang in the regular script Renwu Zai and some other artifacts, it is inferred that the ship should be in the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty. Set sail, pass through Hainan, and sail to the trading ships in Southeast Asia.

At present, many shipwreck sites have been found on Huaguang Reef, with a depth of 20-25. Therefore, when he arrived at Huaguang Reef in person, Lin Shenlu was quite excited and really wanted to have the opportunity to dive to the bottom of the sea Go and see the real Raging Sea Sinking".

But unfortunately, because the news of the discovery of the sunken ship was leaked very early, tomb robbers swarmed in, the underwater ruins have been severely damaged, and it is not too late to make up for it. Now the country has established a national key cultural relics protection area in the Xisha Islands. Fishing in protected areas constitutes a crime.

The Upper Silk Road is a road of cultural transmission starting from my country. The information on the underwater cultural relics of Xisha has become an important legal basis for our country to safeguard the sovereignty of Xisha. Everyone is responsible for the protection of sovereignty. If you encounter a shipwreck during diving, you must not Go flip, and report any suspicious people in time.

The vast Xisha has deposited many historical relics. Our country is the earliest pioneer in the South China Sea. This piece of blue land has belonged to us since ancient times.

The underwater area of ​​Huaguang Reef is dominated by various hard corals and coral fish. In 2007, due to the outbreak of long-thorn starfish, the corals were eaten away. After several years of governance and protection, it has recovered again. Vitality, but during the diving process, Lin Shenlu still found many traces of long-thorn starfish, and this thing will erupt every ten years, so seeing and dealing with it is the key.

In fact, Lin Shenlu can see that the coral populations of Huaguang Reef are still very rich, and they are thriving in various shapes and colors. If they are carefully protected, within ten years, there will be another beautiful coral reef here. Aquarium.

When shooting at the bottom of the sea, many colors will be swallowed due to the absorption of sunlight by sea water, so it is necessary to equip with supplementary light equipment, generally there are two choices, underwater flash or supplementary light, the former is used to take photos, the latter For shooting video.

……

There is not only diving in Huaguang Reef. There is a sandbar in the northwest corner of Huaguang Reef. When the tide ebbs at noon, it will emerge from the water. Therefore, after the two dives in the morning, Lin Shenlu and his team took a speedboat to pass through the coral reef area. Going to the sandbar to land, this is the first time to set foot on the land of Xisha above sea level.

Such sandbars are rare in the Xisha Islands. They are formed of fine coral sand, which is very soft to step on. Moreover, this sandbar is rich in sea urchins. You can fish a few back to the boat to try them out when the tide is low.

Of course, don't be greedy when fishing for sea urchins. Adhering to the principle of keeping half of the nest, it is the key to keep sea urchins multiplying.

The sea urchin is still very fat. Open it and wash it with water, scrape it out with a spoon and put it in your mouth to taste the sweetness.

Entering the interior of Huaguang Reef, there is emerald-like glass water, which is extremely clear, not inferior to any tropical island in the world.

Lin Shenlu and his party came a little later, the tide had already started to rise on the sandbar, and everyone was looking for sea urchins.

……

When the sunset comes, another day in Xisha is over. We pull the anchor and set sail to the next stop, Beijiao.

North Reef, Coral Paradise

The North Reef is the best coral reef in the entire Xisha coral, and it is also a fringe reef. At first, the coral reef grew on the edge of the island, just like inlaid with colorful coral edges on the coast, and the rising sea level covered the entire island. Now North Reef.

In fact, the common coral reefs, such as Beijiao and Yuzhuo reef, are all fringing reefs.

Looking around the world, the Red Coast Reef is the best developed in the world, and it can be regarded as the world's top diving holy land.
