Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of marine ecological protection and restoration, in particular to a floating ecological reef applicable to coastal inner bays. Background Art

[0002] A healthy ocean is an important foundation for human survival and sustainable development. However, driven by both human activities and climate change, the problems of marine environmental pollution and marine ecosystem degradation remain serious, and marine biological reefs have become an important object of research on marine ecological protection and restoration. The formation of marine biological reefs changes the seabed topography, increases the topographic complexity at different scales, affects the water flow conditions near the reef body, and plays an important role in protecting the shoreline from erosion, providing habitats for other species, maintaining marine biodiversity, purifying water bodies and sequestering carbon. After the marine biological reefs are damaged, their structures and functions are damaged to varying degrees. If not repaired in time, a series of consequences may be caused and even disappear.

[0003] Up to now, ecological reefs play a role in restoring and promoting the inhabitation of coastal organisms and increasing biodiversity. For example, the utility model patent CN221082416U provides a composite oyster reef structure, which can promote the biomass of oyster reefs, but the precast block has limited effect on other ecological functions; for example, the utility model patent CN217677007U provides a floating bed of Suaeda glauca, which can be quickly docked and disassembled, but in the offshore environment, the space for coastal attached organisms to inhabit is limited.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a floating ecological reef applicable to coastal inner bays to create a variety of marine biological habitats, provide a living place for marine organisms, rejuvenate and conserve marine organisms, repair the problem of marine biological degradation, and protect and improve marine biodiversity. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: in view of the above problems, to provide a floating ecological reef applicable to coastal inner bays.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a floating ecological reef applicable to coastal inner bays, characterized by comprising:

[0007] An ecological floating reef, the central part of which is in a hemispherical structure, a splicing block is extended and arranged on the periphery of the top end, a connecting hole is arranged on the splicing block, and a plurality of the ecological floating reefs can be spliced to form a platform floating on the water surface;

[0008] A plant growth base is arranged in the hemispherical structure at the top of the ecological floating reef, and seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants are arranged on the plant growth base;

[0009] An artificial coral reef is provided at the bottom of the ecological floating reef, and the artificial coral reef is used to provide a habitat for underwater organisms at the bottom of the ecological floating reef.

[0010] By means of the above technical means, a floating platform on the water is formed by using the ecological floating reef. A plant growth base is installed in the hemispherical structure at the top of the ecological floating reef. Through the plant growth base, a growth place for seawater-tolerant herbaceous plants can be provided. The artificial coral reef at the bottom of the ecological floating reef can provide a habitat for underwater organisms. Multiple ecological floating reefs can also be spliced, so that the overall ecological reef forms a relatively stable ecological system to repair the problem of marine biological degradation.

[0011] In some embodiments, the plant growth base includes plant fibers and waste oyster shells. The plant fibers and the waste oyster shells are bundled in a certain order and woven into a net structure, so that the overall structure can be embedded in the hemispherical structure of the ecological floating reef.

[0012] In some embodiments, the plant fibers are made of biodegradable materials, including rice straw and coconut fibers.

[0013] In some embodiments, according to the growth requirements of different seawater-tolerant herbaceous plants, the ratio of the plant fibers to the waste oyster shells is adjusted.

[0014] In some embodiments, the artificial coral reef has a hollow structure. By imitating the shape and function of natural coral reefs, the artificial coral reef provides a complex three-dimensional surface, making it convenient for organisms to attach to the surface of the artificial coral reef.

[0015] In some embodiments, the material of the artificial coral reef is an environmentally friendly and corrosion-resistant lightweight material, including 3D printing materials.

[0016] In some embodiments, a plurality of holes are provided in the hemispherical structure of the ecological floating reef.

[0017] In some embodiments, the splicing block has a hexagonal structure, and multiple ecological floating reefs are spliced by passing a hemp rope through the connection holes.

[0018] In some embodiments, the seawater-tolerant herbaceous plants are plants that are tolerant to seawater salinity and seawater flooding, including Suaeda glauca and Phragmites australis.

[0019] Another technical solution adopted by the present utility model is: a construction method for a floating ecological reef applicable to a coastal inner bay, characterized by including the following steps:

[0020] Bolting and fixing the ecological floating reef and the artificial coral reef with fixing bolts;

[0021] Rinse the plant roots of the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants, remove the impurities attached to the roots, and insert the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants into the plant growth medium;

[0022] Embed the plant growth medium inside the ecological floating reef;

[0023] Put the biological reef body formed by the ecological floating reef, the plant growth medium, the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants and the coral reef imitation into the offshore farm for pre-cultivation. Subsequently, put in the biological fry and start the attachment and growth process, and provide necessary nutrients during the pre-cultivation process;

[0024] Put the pre-cultivated mature biological reef body into the predetermined ecological restoration area.

[0025] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0026] 1. Through the ecological floating reef, a floating platform is formed. The plant growth medium on the ecological floating reef provides a growth environment for the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants. During the growth process, the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants can absorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the water body, reducing the phenomenon of water eutrophication. The coral reef imitation at the bottom of the ecological floating reef provides a natural habitat environment for marine organisms by simulating the complexity and diversity of natural reef bodies. Through the composite characteristics of herbaceous plant growth and marine organism attachment, it can play the role of rejuvenating and conserving marine organisms and repairing the degradation of marine organisms, improving the diversity of marine organisms, and is applicable to ecological degradation areas in coastal inner bays with small waves, calm shallow bays and other waters.

[0031] This specification includes reference to "one embodiment" or "embodiments". The occurrence of the phrase "in one embodiment" or "in embodiments" does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Specific features, structures or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner consistent with this disclosure.

[0032] "Including", this term is open-ended. As used in the appended claims, this term does not exclude additional structures or steps. Detailed Description of the Invention

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present utility model, the technical solution of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0034] Embodiment 1:

[0035] Combined with Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment is a floating ecological reef applicable to the coastal inner bay, including an ecological floating reef 1, a plant growth substrate, and an artificial coral reef 3. The central part of the ecological floating reef 1 is in a hemispherical structure. A splicing block is extended and provided on the periphery of the top end of the ecological floating reef 1, and a connection hole 4 is provided on the splicing block. Multiple ecological floating reefs 1 can be spliced to form a platform floating on the water surface. A plant growth substrate is installed inside the hemispherical structure of the ecological floating reef 1, and seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants are provided on the plant growth substrate. An artificial coral reef 3 is provided at the bottom of the ecological floating reef 1, and the artificial coral reef 3 is used to provide a habitat for underwater organisms at the bottom of the ecological floating reef 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, a plurality of holes 2 are provided on the hemispherical structure of the ecological floating reef 1. The splicing block is in a hexagonal structure. According to needs, multiple ecological floating reefs 1 can be spliced through hemp ropes passing through the connection holes 4 to provide a larger habitat for aquatic organisms, enhance biodiversity, and adapt to different water conditions and landscape requirements. The material of the ecological floating reef 1 should be selected as an environmentally friendly lightweight material that is harmless to marine organisms to avoid negative impacts on the ecological environment.

[0037] The hemispherical structure of the ecological floating reef 1 can help reduce the impact of water flow on the floating reef and improve its stability in the water body. The splicing block with a hexagonal structure at the top of the ecological floating reef 1 is beneficial to making full use of the water surface space during splicing, and can be flexibly docked and arranged according to the size and shape of the water area for coastal ecological restoration, synchronously improving the landscape effect of the water body. The holes 2 provided at the bottom of the ecological floating reef 1 can reduce the weight of the floating reef to a certain extent, improve the overall stability of the floating reef, and prevent it from tipping over due to the action of wind or water flow. In addition, the holes 2 can prevent the plant roots from being overly entangled inside the floating reef, which is helpful for the longitudinal growth of plants.

[0038] In some embodiments, the plant growth substrate includes plant fibers 5 and waste oyster shells 6. The plant fibers 5 and the waste oyster shells 6 are bundled in a certain order and woven into a net structure, so that the overall bundling structure can be embedded in the hemispherical structure of the ecological floating reef 1. The oyster shells have a relatively high hardness, and combined with the soft plant fibers 5, they can provide structural stability. The calcium and other minerals contained in the oyster shells can provide nutrients for plants and promote plant growth. According to the growth requirements of different seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants, adjust the ratio of the plant fibers 5 to the waste oyster shells 6 to optimize the physical and chemical properties of the substrate.

[0039] Further, the plant fiber 5 is made of biodegradable materials such as straw and coconut fiber, which can decompose naturally after use, reducing the impact on the environment.

[0040] In some embodiments, the artificial coral reef 3 has a hollow structure. By mimicking the shape and function of natural coral reefs, the artificial coral reef 3 provides a complex three-dimensional surface. Specific attachment points are designed on the reef surface to facilitate the fixation and growth of attached larvae and other organisms, thereby enhancing the underwater ecosystem of the ecological floating reef 1 and contributing to the development of a diverse marine biological community.

[0041] Further, the material of the artificial coral reef 3 is an environmentally friendly and corrosion-resistant lightweight material, including 3D printing materials, to reduce the impact on the environment. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connection form between the artificial coral reef 3 and the ecological floating reef 1 is to insert the top reef body of the artificial coral reef 3 into the ecological floating reef 1 and then fix it with fixing bolts.

[0042] In some embodiments, the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants are plants that are tolerant to seawater salinity and seawater flooding, such as Suaeda salsa and Phragmites australis. In this embodiment, the roots of the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants need to be inserted into the plant growth medium without damaging the root system of the plants. If necessary, an appropriate amount of soil or organic matrix is added to the surface of the plant growth medium or in the holes 2, which not only provides additional nutrients but also promotes the combination of the root system and the plant growth medium.

[0043] The implementation principle of an embodiment of a floating ecological reef applicable to the coastal inner bay is as follows:

[0044] By combining the ecological floating reef 1, the plant growth medium, the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants, and the artificial coral reef 3 to form a biological reef body, using the ecological floating reef 1 as a floating platform on the water surface, the plant growth medium provides a growth environment for the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants. The seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants can absorb nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the water during the growth process, reducing the phenomenon of water eutrophication. The design of the reef surface of the artificial coral reef 3 aims to simulate the complexity and diversity of natural reefs, providing an environment similar to a natural habitat for marine organisms. Multiple biological reef bodies can be spliced to form an ecological system with stronger ecological functions and stability, which is applicable to ecological degradation areas in coastal inner bays with small waves, calm shallow bays and other waters.

[0047] S1. Bolt-fix the ecological floating reef 1 and the artificial coral reef 3 with fixing bolts.

[0048] S2. Rinse the plant roots of the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants with fresh water to remove the sediment and other impurities attached to the roots, and insert the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants into the plant growth medium.

[0050] S4. Place the biological reef body formed by the ecological floating reef 1, the plant growth medium, and the seawater-tolerant growing herbaceous plants and the artificial coral reef 3 in an offshore farm for pre-cultivation, then put in the biological fry, and start the attachment and growth process, and provide necessary nutrients during the pre-cultivation process.

[0051] S4.1. The offshore farm should have the water quality, temperature, salinity and other conditions of the ecological restoration area, and provide necessary nutrients such as natural or artificial bait during the pre-cultivation process to support the growth of the biological fry.
