Central government supports the selection of the demonstration site. Hepu seagrass bed
has been approved as the most important seagrass bed for priority protection by the central
government. The central government will co-finance in cash more than US$. 400,000

National nature reserves for Dugong dugong in Hepu Guangxi and Shankou national
nature reserves for mangrove have been set up in Hepu County. The dugong national nature
reserve covers 350 km2, with a central zone of 132 km2. The objectives are to protect Dugongs
(Dugong dugong), green turtle (Chelonia mydas), Indo-Pacific hump-back dolphin (Sousa
chinensis) and mangroves. The seagrass beds provide food for dugongs. Shankou nature
preserve for mangroves was set up by the state in September 1990, and consists of the
western and eastern coastal sides of Shatian peninsula and enclosed waters. The Mangrove
preserve extends along the coastal zone for 50km. The mangroves cover 8000ha including
4000ha of water and 4000ha of land. These nature reserves assist in the protection of seagrass
beds in Hepu. "Action Plan of China for the Conservation of Biodiversity" was issued in 1994.
This area is one of the priorities site in the action plan.

DEMONSTRATION SITE PROPOSAL
7. SITE
DESCRIPTION
AREA
The area of Hepu seagrass bed was 540ha in 2003.
ENVIRONMENT

The seagrass bed, including the adjacent area, is complicated, consisting of a deep slot
and sand ridge arrangement. There is a strong current along this part of the coast, which
causes erosion due to the tides and wave action. The topography of the seabed includes tidal
shoal, tidal and deep slot, tidal sand ridge, and seabed plain.

The weather is influenced by the south subtropical ocean quarter breeze Influence of the
atmospheric-circulation and the geographic location results in some favourable weather
characteristics, for example, winter has no frost, summer is not hot, spring and autumn are
short, and the quarter breeze is extensive. Average air temperature is 22.9 , with a high of
38.2 , and a low of 1.5 . Wind direction varies with the season throughout the year with
prevailing winds in the winter from the northeast and from the southwest in summer, with an
average wind velocity of 3.7m/ s. The average annual rainfall was 1573.4 mm in recent years,
with 83% occurring in the summer half of the year. The rain falls on average for 144 days per
year. Influence of typhoons is important, with two or three occurring every year, usually
between July and September, (CCCBR, 1993).

The average tide range in the area is approximately 2.5m, and is an irregular diurnal or half
diurnal tide. The maximum flood tide velocity is 65cm/s inside the bay, and at the mouth of the
bay is 71cm/s in a N- NNE direction. The maximum ebb tide velocity is 62-77 cm/s inside the
bay, and 106 cm/s at the mouth, where the current direction is South. Maximum wave height is
3.2m at the mouth of Tieshan bay, from the S-SSW direction. The minimum wave height is 0.65
m, from the NE-ENE direction. Maximum wave height is 3.41 m inside the bay, from the
S-SSW, while the minimum wave height is 0.18 m, from the N- NNE direction. The average
seawater temperature is 23.49o in the area, with the extreme highest of 34.4o in summer, and
the extreme lowest of 8.4o in winter. Seawater salinity at the mouth of bay is 26-31 and 20-28
at the top of bay (CCCBR, 1993).

Regarding water quality, generally the water quality is good (Jinyi Lan, et. al. 1999). The
sediment quality is also good.

HABITATS
There are 4 seagrass species growing in the area: Halophila ovalis, Halodule uninervis,
Halophila beccarii and Zostera japonica. H. ovalis is the dominant species, and occupies 75%
of the whole seagrass bed. The coverage of H. ovalis is more than 80%, the average biomass
is 25.5g/m2, and the density is 1385 shoot/m2 (Xiaoping Huang, et. al. 2003)

The other main species is H. uninervis. It's repent roots lie buried in the sand, and may
shoot up and grow all the year round. When the seagrass has been growing up for a long time,
the old foliage dies back and turns yellow, and the new foliage will grow. From March to April
each year H. uninervis will flourish, with many pairs of leaves growing up from the sand, but at
other times, much of the plant lies buried in the sand.

H. ovalis sprouts from November to February, and flourishes from March to June every
year. It is difficult to find after July because it dies back and the leaves fall off. The roots sprout
again from November (Jinyi Lan, et. al. 2001; Weilin Zhang, et. al.2002).

H. uninervis and H. ovalis inhabit the inter-tidal level, where they are able to survivein
muddy. H. ovalis may also sprout and grow in 5m deep water though H. uninervis has not been
found to survive at these depths. Both can undergo full submersion by flood tides with no
ill-effects.

---

Seven subsidiary beds of seagrass were found during surveys, located at Dianzhousha,
Beimu Salt Field, Yingluo Bay, outside of Yingluo Bay, Danshuikou, Gaoshatou and
Shanliaojiuhejingdi.

Research surveys conducted from April 1987 to July 2003, have determined the
distribution of seagrass at the 7 beds. The visible area of seagrass in summer and spring is
bigger than in winter and autumn, and seagrass growth is better in summer and spring than in
winter and autumn.

There are 5 penaeid, 12 gastropod, and one seahorse species reported in Hepu seagrass
bed. There are also a number species of urchins, siganids, holothurians, starfish, and the green
turtle Chelonia mydas. A species list is provided as Annex 1.


The major habitat of the dugong in China is in the Shatian waters, Hepu Guangxi.
Dugongs inhabit the seabed where the water depth is less 20m. They move to the seagrass
bed, to feed when the tide is flooding and move away on the ebb tide (Yanjun Pang, et.al. 1987;
Yun Zhi, 1996; Guijing Li, 2002).

Feeding habits of dugong vary following seasonal changes to the growth of seagrass.
They feed on Halodule in July to October when Halophila is shriveled. In the typhoon season,
Halodule in the middle tidal zone is covered by sand and mud which has been carried by tidal
current. This makes it difficult for dugong to feed, so they feed on Halophila, which grows in the
low tidal zone. The seagrass beds at Dianzhousha, Beimu salt field, Yingluo Bay, outside of
Yingluo Bay, Danshuikou, Shanliaojin provide suitable food for dugongs.


Shankou preserve for mangrove was set up by the state in September 1990. It consists of
the western, eastern coastal sides of Shatian peninsular and enclosed waters, including
Shankou, Shantian and Baisha town, bordering on the mangrove in Zhanjiang City of
Guangdong (Yanjun Pang, et.al. 1987; Yun Zhi, 1996; Guijing Li, 2002).


The Mangrove preserve extends along the coastal zone for 50km. The mangroves cover
8000ha including 4000ha of water and 4000ha of land. The original zones were: central zone,
with an area of 800ha, buffer zone with an area of 3600ha, and a transition zone with an area of
3600ha. The central zone is located on the east coast of Shantian peninsula from Xianmi river
mouth to Yingluo, and covers 220ha areas of mangroves. The buffer zone includes 510 ha area
of mangrove. The transition zone is the watershed above high tidal zone within 1km and the
external waters of preserve region. Shankou mangrove area has also been included as a
demonstration site in a new UNDP/GEF funded project designed to help maintain biodiversity,
which will also start in 2005, and run for 8 years.

PRESENT USE

The seagrass bed is distributed in coastal areas adjacent to Shankou and Shatian
townships of Hepu county. In the East to Zhangjiang city, Guangdong province, and north to
Bobai county, the coastline is extensive, and fish culture is the main economic activity, together
with agriculture.

The total population of Shankou town was 65,881 in 1999, and the birth rate is 9.5. The
labour force is 42,677 people, the plantation area is about 2267 ha, and the average per capita
income was 2,321 RMB in 1999. Fish culture production is worth 30 million RMB annually.

Shantian town includes 6 villages, Haizhang , Shatian , Shangliao , Shangxin ,Duida and
Danshui; The total population of Shatian town was 16,387 in 1999, and the birth rate is 11.8,
the labour force is 7795 people, the rice plantation area is about 535.6 ha, and the average per
capita income was 3,145 RMB in 1999. Fish culture production is the main component of the
Shatian economy. There are 486 powerboats in the town, and the area under marine
aquaculture is 510.8 ha, with fresh water aquaculture occupying 10.2ha.The total fish culture
production was valued at 21.181 million RMB in 1999.

---

The rich fishery resource in the seagrass bed provides an important input to the local
economy, and the main activities in the seagrass bed are fishing and aquaculture. The main
fishery activities are: digging for gastropods, catching fish, and cultivating shrimp and pearl
oysters. The seagrass bed is also an important nursery for fish of this area.
MANAGEMENT REGIME
The present management is under two separate entities:
·
The Shatian Town Government has the management rights to the sea; and
·
The Management Station of National Nature Reserves for Dugong, Hepu Guangxi,
under the control of the Guangxi province environmental protection bureau, has the
duty to protect seagrass

8. STAKEHOLDERS

Stakeholders include native fishers, local inhabitant, fishery management, local city
planning department, environmental protection branch and government, dredging company.

The seagrass bed is located adjacent to Shankou town and Shatian town, Along the
coastline fish culture is common, and is one of the main economic activities. The total fish
culture production is worth 21.181 million RMB. The main fishery production methods of local
residents are: trawling, culturing shrimps, culturing pearls, and digging for siphon-worms
Sipunculus nudus marine snails Phascolosoma esculentaes and various shellfish. The
seagrass beds in the area attract rich fishery resources to the surrounding sea region, and the
local residents gain substantial benefit from these fishery resources.

During the development of the local economy, there is likely to be conflict between local
innovative economic development plans and conservation of the seagrass bed. Time will be
needed for consultations to reach compatibility between the demonstration site development of
the seagrass bed and the local government departments, in order to minimise these conflicts.

During the initial period of developing the demonstration site, the related local departments
and inhabitants should be encouraged to provide input. If the local administration authorities
are supportive of the projects goals, they will be more likely to offer substantive support. If the
local inhabitants were also behind the project, they are more likely to cooperate in efforts to
protect the seagrass environment. More detail of strategies intended to encourage the
participation of these stakeholders are provided in Annex 2.
9. THREATS
Natural and Extreme events

The storm tide and the waves caused by typhoons erode the seagrass entirely. A nerite
snail Clithon oualaniensis, then reproduces rapidly, colonizing the space previously occupied
by the seagrass. This results loss of the seagrass seasonally.

Human Activities
Seafood is popular in the market. To increase income, more and more local people go to
the beach to dig Sipunculus nudus (siphon-worms) and snails net for fish, and undertake other
activities. Areas also continue to be reclaimed for aquaculture purposes.

In order to obtain profits, the fisherfolk use many production and harvesting methods which
seriously damage the seagrass bed

Digging siphon-worms snails and shellfish: Digging is popular with more than 2000
people active every day in the seagrass beds throughout most of the area. Digging sometimes
results seagrass' rhizomes being uprooted or broken, negatively impacting growth. Digging
may also cause the sand to become more fluid, and seagrass could be submerged by the
flowing sands, also disturbing the growth.

---

Aquaculture: Aquaculture can cause damage to the seagrass. There are about 100ha of
seagrass bed being used for cage culture of oysters. The seagrass in the feeding area has
been damaged seriously. There is an accumulation of rubbish, including used wood; and old
shells lying in the feeding areas that had been abandoned.

Trawling: There are more than 400 trawlers working mainly in the areas which are less
than 10 meters deep near Dianzhousha, Gaoshatou and Yingluo Bay of Shankou Town and
Shatian Town. During the trawling operation, the seagrass shoots are pulled out with their roots
and completely destroyed. There is no regulation to prohibit trawling in the area.

Waste water polluting the sea is also a threat for the seagrass. Local sewage, waste water
for fish processing, engine oils from fishing boats, and industrial run off are all disposed of into
the sea and pollute the seagrass site. To resolve this problem there is a need to strengthen the
enforcement of sewage standards for factories and fishing boats through local environmental
protection bureau, and to recycle waste water where possible.

Fish fences: These have been erected throughout more than 150ha of seagrass beds in
Hepu. Seagrasses are destroyed when these fences are established, due to trampling and
digging up the seagrass bed.

More details can be seen in the causal chain analysis (see Annex 3).
10. GOALS & PURPOSE
The goal of the project is to establish a demonstration site of community based
management, with the aim of maintaining the existing biodiversity and environmental condition
and utilize the seagrass resources rationally and sustainably. This is to be accomplished
through maintaining the balance between utilization and conservation, based on community
and government involvement. Experiences in the research, protection and utilization of
seagrass beds in the site will be useful for other seagrass beds in China and hopefully other
parts of the world.

11. RATIONALE
AND
OBJECTIVES


To date, no other seagrass demonstration sites or reserves have been established in
China. Hepu seagrass bed demonstration site, to be established adjacent to the existing Hepu
National Reserve for Dugong, and Shankou National Reserve for Mangrove, will help to protect
the seagrass. The central and local government plan to set up this area as a seagrass reserve.

Hepu seagrass bed demonstration site intends to prevent the degradation of seagrass in
the area, restoring the biological diversity and ecological environment resulting in a high quality
seagrass ecosystem. It also aims to encourage people from the communities to participate in
and cooperate with the demonstration site activities.

The global marine ecosystem is a connective and dynamic system. The establishment of
Hepu seagrass bed demonstration site adjacent to the Shankou National Reserve for
Mangrove and the National Reserve for Dugong will not only improve the marine ecological
environment where seagrass beds are located but will also benefit the global ecological
environment. The objectives are following:

1. Establishment of cross sectoral management framework for the sustainable use of the
Hepu seagrass site;
2. Sustainability of site management;
3. Conservation of seagrass bed ecosystem as major habitat in the site (biodiversity
conservation, dugong protection, etc.);
4. Education and training for increased involvement of all stakeholders in preserving the
seagrass habitat.

---

12. OUTCOMES
1. There are several outcomes expected from this project:
2. Local community participation on seagrass management.
3. Increased awareness, protection and sustainable use of seagrass by government and
local people.
4. The protection of seagrass beds is included into local socio-economic development
plans.
5. Coordination of the various departments and local public responsible for the protection
and management of seagrass.
6. A seagrass site demonstrating community-based management for the other parts of
the world.
13. PLANNED ACTIVITIES TO ACHIEVE TO ACHIEVE OUTCOMES:
The activities are grouped into four major components as follows:
· Establish cross-sectoral management framework for the sustainable use of the Hepu
seagrass site (Management);
· Sustainability of site management (Sustainability Mechanism);
· Conservation of seagrass bed ecosystem as major habitat in the site (Conservation
Plan);
· Education and training for increased involvement of all stakeholders in preserving the
seagrass habitat (Education & Training).

The framework work plan and timetable are presented in Table 1.

Component 1 - Management

The primary actions under this component focus on the establishment of Hepu seagrass
site management board (MB); establishment of website; and preparation of the management
plan. The activities included in the action of establishment of Hepu site MB are as follows:

· Identification of the members of Hepu site MB;
· Appointment of manager;
· Draft TOR and rules of the MB.
The action of establishment of website include:
· Establishment of project website;
· Appointment of consultants to prepare demonstration site website with
UNEP/GEF Project and demonstration site information materials;
· Establishment of linkage with SCS website & other demonstration site websites.

An important aspect of establishment of cross-sectoral management is, the need to
prepare effective site management plan in consultation with all stakeholders. The project
management will be checked up and evaluated by Guangxi provincial Govt., NTWG and
UNEP, using the ways are as follows: publication of meeting reports, hard copy & via project
website; regular reports from MB; half yearly progress reports and expenditure statements.

Component 2 - Sustainability Mechanism

In order to protect the Hepu seagrass bed effectively, establishing a sustainable
management mechanism is very important. The primary actions under this component focus on
the stakeholder analysis, economic valuation and identification of revenue streams & financial
management. Through evaluating the economic value of Hepu seagrass bed and the
participation of the stakeholders in the management, an agreement of using seagrass
resources in a sustainable way will be reached. This will involve: preparation of a stakeholder
participation plan, assembling necessary information on economic valuation according to
agreed procedures, and discussions with stakeholders to provide inputs to and clearance of
economic valuation.

---

Identification of revenue streams & financial management also play an important part in
this component. The primary activities under this action include identification & analysis of
potential revenue generation activities, preparation of quantified potential revenue generation
and income projections, identification & estimation of costs of implementing the Management
Plan for Hepu seagrass and dugong, and; establishment of necessary financial management
mechanisms.

Component 3 - Conservation Plan

The primary activities under this component focus on expanding the existing Dugong
Reserve, legislation & enforcement, and collection of information for sound management.

The existing Dugong National Reserve is not large enough and only a few species are
protected. Greater benefit can be achieved by expanding the existing reserve. For this, it is
necessary for a re-evaluation of the existing criteria for the National Dugong Reserve, and to
prepare and implement a workplan.

At the same time, there must be effective legislation and enforcement to carry out the
protected plan. The primary activities of legislation and enforcement will involve preparation of
new legislation or amendments to existing laws and regulations, and pilot activities in reducing
destructive fishing activities.

The collection of information will provide significant support for sound management. The
collection of information will include surveys of the environmental and bio parameters of the
demonstration site; evaluation of the effect of intervention; survey & evaluation of public and
governmental awareness on seagrass.

Component 4 - Education & Training

As a way of protecting the biodiversity of the seagrass bed, the benefit of active
involvement of stakeholders cannot be underestimated. Through education and training, the
awareness of protecting seagrass of local communities will improve quickly, and the agreement
of using seagrass in a sustainable way will be more easily reached. The actions under this
component include a training programme, education, raising awareness of community &
resources users, and capacity building. Organizing the training courses is the primary activity of
training programme. To publicise the importance of protecting seagrass in local schools and
among the communities, a short (20min) video will be produced, posters & brochures printed,
notice boards erected, and additional public awareness materials (such as radio, television
spots and newspaper articles etc.) will be used, as well as establishing the site's webpage. In
addition, attention will be given to the capacity building, to improve monitoring capacity for
seagrass and dugong. An education and interpretation center will also be established.

The detail of the monitoring and evaluation plan is provided in Annex4.

---

14. SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS AND RISK ASSESSMENT
Sustainability

For a successful seagrass demonstration site in Hepu , a management council must be formed
to take charge of the management of the seagrass bed. In addition, long-term protection and
administration should be put in place; and the investigation and monitoring of the seagrass bed
resources must be carried out regularly. All of the above requires funding and personnel. With the
support of GEF funds, government funds and in kind contributions, the project should have proceed
smoothly in the early stages. The management council should ensure these initial resources are
used to produce further funds for the future activities in the demonstration site. For example, the
management council could develop tourism to increase economic return. This could be assisted by
an "interpretation center" with an exhibition on seagrass bed, in which the biological samples, and
photos of the seagrass ecosystem would be shown. Through this the income will be generated
which will help the long-term viability of the demonstration activities. If the demonstration site is set
up as a national or local seagrass natural reservation zone, then it could access funds from the
government regularly.
Risks

The major risks include:

1. The enforcement of new regulation may face many difficulties. The related mitigating action
is to raise public awareness, strengthen compliance with local management institutions,
environmental protection unit and fishery management institutions.
2. Preventing destructive fishing activities on seagrass will, in the short term, reduce the
income of local residents. The related mitigating action is to widely disseminate information
on the significance of the demonstration site, and the long-term benefit of protection of the
seagrass bed to fishery production In addition local government should increase
employment prospects for residents to increase their income, by introducing them to
alternative professions.

15. ESTIMATED BUDGET (IN US$ OR LOCAL CURRENCY)

The total budget is US$806,550, with US$415,200 from the Chinese Government, and
US$391,350 from the GEF. See Tables 1 and 2 in annex 5 for details

17. PROPOSED MANAGEMENT OF THE ACTIVITIES:

The execution of project activities will be conducted by South China Sea Institute of
Oceanology (SCSIO), Chinese Academy of Sciences, providing oversight and monitoring on a
regular monthly basis. Half-year reporting of activities and financial aspects will be monitored
by the UNEP/GEF Project Co-ordinating Unit on behalf of the Implementing Agency (see
Annex 4) The project activities in Hepu will be directed by, a Project Management Board with
representatives from Guangxi Province, Beihai City, Hepu County, SCSIO, Hepu Dugong
Natural Reserve and local communities, etc.. A site manager from Hepu Dugong Natural
Reserve will be responsible for daily management of the project activities. The site manager will
be supported by consultants and sub-contract unit. The wider network of organizations involved
in project execution will be linked through workshops, seminars, field-work, training courses as
well as community based meetings, to which all stakeholders will be invited and which will
serve to provide advice and inputs to management. SCSIO will report the activities and
progress to Inter-ministry Committee through National Technical Working Group. Through
Regional Working Group on Seagrass and PCU, Hepu seagrass demonstration site will be
linked with other demonstration sites in the region. The management framework is outlined in
Figure 1.

Annex 2 - Stakeholder Participation Plan

During the establishment of the seagrass bed demonstration site, stakeholder participation is
expected to consist of: native fishers, local inhabitants, fishery management personnel, the local city
planning department, the environmental protection branch and government, The executing agency.
Implementing agency, PCU of the SCS project.

In order to gauge the public attitudes, 38 consultation questionnaires were distributed. The results
showed:
·
84% of people have seen seagrass, and 95% of people thought that seagrass is beneficial
for fishery.
·
84% of people found that the area of seagrass bed is decreasing rapidly.
·
The main fishery activities are: digging snail, catching fish, cultivating shrimp and cultivating
pearl.
·
39% of people realised that the seagrass bed was degraded.
·
95% of people thought that degeneration of seagrass bed had a negative impact on the
fishery.
·
95% of people support that the seagrass bed would be established as demonstration site.
·
50% of people thought that it would have a negative influence to their livelihood if digging
snail, other destructive fishing practices were forbidden.

In the preserve of seagrass, non-destructive fishing has been conducted for many years, with little
impact on the seagrass bed. However more recently destructive fishing practices have damaged the
seagrass. The targets for the fisheries were usually shrimp and kinds of seashell. It is necessary to raise
the level of education and awareness as soon as possible in the villages and towns. This will assist the
fisherfolk to recognize the importance of seagrass biodiversity and the need for protection of the
seagrass. Thereby, the enthusiasm of fisherfolk for seagrass protection will be enhanced, and the
overall situation improved.

The plans for improvements in the seagrass demonstration site should include close cooperation
with the local government. Some fisherfolk who exploit the seagrass area may be encouraged to
engage in industry and agriculture, and some favourable policies should be introduced to encourage
them. Those fisherfolk who engage in aquaculture in the area can be encouraged to cultivate away from
the seagrass area. Much of the labour force are women, and suitable alternative income generation
activities should be made available to them as well.

When the seagrass demonstration site is established, effort should be put into coordination
between local residents and the administrative department. For the administrative department, major
responsibilities are: to help the management council of the demonstration site to put into effect concrete
measures, dispatch regular enforcement patrols, punish persons who break the law and destroy
seagrass, and publicize the protection policies for seagrass. Local residents, including students, should
be encouraged to improve their knowledge on any policies for protecting seagrass. The administrative
department also needs to create more employment opportunities for fishermen, persuade them to give
up the destructive fishing methods and take other jobs.

Annex 3 - Causal Chain Analysis

Hepu seagrass bed has been degraded due to human activities and forces of nature.

Human Activities: Seafood is popular in the market. To increase income, more and more local
people go to the beach to dig siphon-worms and snails, reclaim areas for aquaculture, net for fish, and
others. All these activities destroyed the seagrass.

Forces of Nature: Natural Power

The storm tide and the waves caused by typhoons erode the seagrass entirely. Clithon
oualaniensis a nerite snail, reproduces rapidly on the beach, colonizing the space previously occupied
by the seagrass.
