Beigang Island
Beigang Island (), literally North Port Island, is a small island located in the mouth of Dongzhai Harbor, Hainan, China. There are three villages, fish farms, and some mangroves on the island. Beigang Island is under the jurisdiction of Meilan District. History Beigang Island was originally part of the mainland to its west. The 1605 Nankai earthquake, which saw the sinking of 72 other villages, separated it and it then became an island. It has been inhabited for around 400 years. In July 2014, Typhoon Rammasun caused extensive damage to the island. Around 70% of the houses that were constructed with tiled roofs were damaged or destroyed. Also, about 123 fishing boats sunk or were destroyed. Much of the island was submerged beneath 1.5 metres of water causing damaged to the food supplies of 70% of the families there. The damage was assessed at around 25 million RMB. Despite the disaster, none of the residents left the island to live elsewhere. As a result of the typhoon, the gov ...

Dongzhai Harbor
Dongzhai Harbor () is located in the northeast of Hainan Province, China. This water body is bordered by Haikou's Meilan District at the west and Wenchang at the east. Etymology Before the year 1605, there was a village in the area called Dongzhai. It was destroyed in an earthquake and the harbor is named after it. History Villages in this harbor were devastated subsidence from the 1605 Guangdong earthquake. Seventy-two villages sunk during that quake killing thousands of people. That earthquake helped to form the harbor. Beigang Island was part of the western mouth prior to that. Description At the mouth of the harbor, there is an island called Beigang Island (literally "north port island"). It contains a few villages including Hou Xi Village. The middle of the harbour is occupied by a peninsula extending from the west coast. Qu Quay is a village located on the northeastern coast of this peninsula. The town of Puqian is located at the mouth of the harbor on the east side. ] Lo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Seawall On North Coast Of Beigang Island
A seawall (or sea wall) is a form of coastal defense constructed where the sea, and associated coastal processes, impact directly upon the landforms of the coast. The purpose of a seawall is to protect areas of human habitation, conservation and leisure activities from the action of tides, waves, or tsunamis. As seawall is a static feature it will conflict with the dynamic nature of the coast and impede the exchange of sediment between land and sea. Seawall designs factor in local climate, coastal position, wave regime (determined by wave characteristics and effectors), and value (morphological characteristics) of landform. Seawalls are hard engineering shore-based structures which protect the coast from erosion. Various environmental issues may arise from the construction of a seawall, including the disruption of sediment movement and transport patterns. Combined with a high construction cost, this has led to an increasing use of other soft engineering coastal management o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Puqian
Puqian () is a port town on the eastern shore of Dongzhai Harbor in Wenchang, Hainan province, China. Old street A road running from the port at the west to the southernmost point of the main road is lined with tong lau buildings similar in style to those of Haikou's Bo'ai Road area and those on Wennan Old Street in Wencheng Town, Wenchang. While the Bo'ai Road area buildings are in the process of being restored, and Wennan Old Street buildings have been completely restored, the buildings on Puqian's old street are dilapidated, some of which have been condemned or structurally collapsed inside. Access Prior to 2019, access from Haikou was by road around Dongzhai Harbor, or by ferry boat from a small peninsula within the harbor. From 2019 onward, the Puqian Bridge, which crosses the mouth of the harbor provides more direct access to Haikou. Puqian still has ferry service to the nearby Beigang Island Beigang Island (), literally North Port Island, is a small island located in th ...

Harbour At Beigang Island
A harbor (American English), harbour (British English; see spelling differences), or haven is a sheltered body of water where ships, boats, and barges can be docked. The term ''harbor'' is often used interchangeably with ''port'', which is a man-made facility built for loading and unloading vessels and dropping off and picking up passengers. Ports usually include one or more harbors. Alexandria Port in Egypt is an example of a port with two harbors. Harbors may be natural or artificial. An artificial harbor can have deliberately constructed breakwaters, sea walls, or jettys or they can be constructed by dredging, which requires maintenance by further periodic dredging. An example of an artificial harbor is Long Beach Harbor, California, United States, which was an array of salt marshes and tidal flats too shallow for modern merchant ships before it was first dredged in the early 20th century. In contrast, a natural harbor is surrounded on several sides of land. Examples of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gram-negative
Gram-negative bacteria are bacteria that do not retain the crystal violet stain used in the Gram staining method of bacterial differentiation. They are characterized by their cell envelopes, which are composed of a thin peptidoglycan cell wall sandwiched between an inner cytoplasmic cell membrane and a bacterial outer membrane. Gram-negative bacteria are found in virtually all environments on Earth that support life. The gram-negative bacteria include the model organism ''Escherichia coli'', as well as many pathogenic bacteria, such as ''Pseudomonas aeruginosa'', ''Chlamydia trachomatis'', and ''Yersinia pestis''. They are a significant medical challenge as their outer membrane protects them from many antibiotics (including penicillin), detergents that would normally damage the inner cell membrane, and lysozyme, an antimicrobial enzyme produced by animals that forms part of the innate immune system. Additionally, the outer leaflet of this membrane comprises a complex lipo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mangrove
A mangrove is a shrub or tree that grows in coastal saline water, saline or brackish water. The term is also used for tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species. Mangroves are taxonomically diverse, as a result of convergent evolution in several plant families. They occur worldwide in the tropics and subtropics and even some temperate coastal areas, mainly between latitudes 30° N and 30° S, with the greatest mangrove area within 5° of the equator. Mangrove plant families first appeared during the Late Cretaceous to Paleocene epochs, and became widely distributed in part due to the plate tectonics, movement of tectonic plates. The oldest known fossils of Nypa fruticans, mangrove palm date to 75 million years ago. Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees, also called halophytes, and are adapted to live in harsh coastal conditions. They contain a complex salt filtration system and a complex root system to cope with saltwater immersion and wave action. They are ad ...

Puqian Bridge
Haiwen Bridge () (named Puqian Bridge while under construction) is a Cable-stayed bridge, cable-stayed bridge located east of Haikou City, Hainan, China. It crosses the mouth of Dongzhai Harbor and was built to provide quicker access between Haikou and Wenchang, a large, administrative division of Hainan province. (The area of Wenchang contains the city of Wenchang further south.) The bridge reduced travel time from Haikou to Wenchang from 90 minutes down to around 20 minutes. Location The eastern end of the bridge terminates at the town of Puqian. The western end has abutments on, and crosses over, a small island named Beigang Island. It then terminates on the western side of the mouth of Dongzhai Harbor. There, it connects to the nearly complete Jiangdong Avenue () which runs west to connect to the Haikou New East Bridge and to start of Haidian No. 5 East Road which leads through Xinbu Island and into Haidian Island, part of Haikou City.
