Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine ecological restoration technology, and more specifically, it relates to a shallow seagrass planting platform. Background Technology

[0002] Shallow seagrass beds serve as feeding grounds, habitats, nurseries, and sanctuaries for a variety of precious marine life, including dugongs, green sea turtles, and seahorses. They are often referred to as marine ranches and are among the most productive aquatic ecosystems in the world. Their ecological service value is comparable to that of typical marine ecosystems such as coral reefs and mangroves.

[0003] However, this ecosystem is one of the most fragile ecosystems on Earth, and it is being lost due to direct or indirect human impacts. Moreover, the rate of global seagrass decline is accelerating, which in turn exacerbates the deterioration of coastal ecosystems.

[0004] Currently, the most common method for cultivating seagrass in shallow seas is still manual labor. This involves workers manually inserting cultivated seedlings or seeds into the seabed after low tide. This method is greatly affected by tides, has a short working time, low efficiency, and carries certain risks. To improve cultivation efficiency, partially replace manual labor, and simplify the process, this invention provides a shallow seagrass cultivation platform. Utility Model Content

[0005] To promote the restoration of shallow seagrass beds and increase the seagrass planting rate, this application provides a shallow seagrass planting platform.

[0006] The platform includes: a tractor (1), an offshore platform (2), a mesh belt reel (3), a seed mesh belt (4), a pressure roller (5), biodegradable nails (6), and a support rod (7). The tractor (1) is connected to the offshore platform (2) and can drive the offshore platform (2) to move; the mesh belt reel (3) is fixedly installed on the offshore platform (2) (especially fixed to the rear end), the seed mesh belt (4) is wound on the mesh belt reel (3), and the biodegradable nails (6) are used to pin one end of the seed mesh belt (4) to the seabed; one end of the support rod (7) is hinged to the offshore platform (2) through a fixed hinge point, so that the support rod (7) can rotate around the corresponding hinge point, the support rod (7) rotates in a plane, and the mesh belt reel (3) is coplanar with the plane of rotation; the other end of the support rod (7) is provided with a pressure roller (5), which can rotate at the end of the support rod (7);

[0007] The support rod (7) is rotated by rope.

[0008] The nails can be driven manually or by external equipment. Using external equipment allows for fully automated nailing, but this equipment needs to be installed on another offshore platform, which is outside the scope of this application. However, this application should also serve to constrain automated nailing schemes.

[0009] The planting platform of this invention can be used to plant seaweed quickly and efficiently. Attached Figure Description

[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0012] Example 1

[0013] The shallow seagrass planting platform described in this utility model includes: a tractor (1), a sea platform (2), a mesh reel (3), a seed mesh reel (4), a pressure roller (5), biodegradable nails (6), and a support rod (7). The tractor (1) is connected to the sea platform (2), the mesh reel (3) is fixedly installed on the sea platform (2), the seed mesh reel (4) is wound on the mesh reel (3), one end of the support rod (7) is hinged to the sea platform (2) through a fixed hinge point, so that the support rod (7) can rotate around the corresponding hinge point, and the pressure roller (5) can rotate and move at the end of the support rod. The biodegradable nails (6) are used to fix the seed mesh reel (4) to the seabed.

[0014] The support rods (7) are two parallel rod-shaped structures, which are fixed at the ends of the two rod-shaped structures at both ends of the pressure roller (5) shaft. The shaft of the pressure roller (5) is perpendicular to the two rod-shaped structures.

[0015] Specific workflow: Before operation, the seed netting (4) is installed on the netting reel (3), and one end of the seed netting (4) is fixed to the seabed with biodegradable nails (6). The support rod (7) is rotated by rope control, so that the pressure roller (5) at the other end of the support rod (7) presses on the seed netting (4) on the seabed. When the traction vessel (1) tows the offshore platform (2) forward to the designated operating area, as the offshore platform (2) moves forward, the seed netting (4) is continuously released from the netting reel (3) and laid on the seabed. At the same time, the pressure roller (5) compacts the seed netting laid on the seabed. Finally, the workers further nail the seed netting (4) laid on the seabed to the seabed with biodegradable nails (6). The laying of the seed netting (4) on the seabed is completed as the traction vessel (1) moves slowly. This platform can greatly improve the efficiency of seagrass planting, and its structure is simple and feasible.
