Chapter 44. APP Big Changes

     Female turtle No. 1 was named “Yi Yi” because she was the first green turtle to come ashore to lay eggs and live in the surrounding seas; female turtle No. 2 was named “Nuan Nuan” because she often came ashore to bask in the sun; the male turtle was named a little perfunctorily, after all, it was considered to be a scum turtle that ran away after having fun, so it was called “Shuang Shuang”.

     The leatherback turtles that came ashore to lay eggs later also had their own names, – Pangpang and Youyou.

     The reason why these two leatherback turtles have such names, Pangpang was a greedy eater. One time, it ate too much and couldn’t digest it, so it crawled ashore. Finally, with the help of Longfeng, Wanmin and others, it recovered and returned to the sea.

     Netizens made emoticons and joked: “Who will give it a lesson and tell it that no matter how delicious the food is, it can’t eat too much!”

     As for “Youyou”, it is because she loves to travel. According to tracking records, she once went to the sea area of Hui City to visit friends and It came back to hatch eggs without going ashore. After hatching eggs, it recently ran to the Bay again, and is on its way back.

…

     After the establishment of the reserve, the interface of the Poseidon Holiday APP suddenly changed:

  【The types of some marine functional areas have changed and changed to special protection areas.】 

   【In this area, the degree of development and utilization has changed, and new sea area management requirements and marine environmental protection requirements have been added.】 

   【The use area of the Xingzhou Island sea area has been adjusted, and 100 hectares of special sea use in the special protection area have been added.】 

   【The island owner’s rights to develop the area are limited, and 40 hectares of marine use rights have been added as compensation! 】

     Li Yaolin was confused about this change. She always thought that the usable area of Xingzhou Island was unchanged, but she didn’t expect it to change due to her planning.

     And she has established the reserve for so long, and there has been no change. Why did it suddenly change?

     The little mermaid said: “【Wildlife Ecological Protection Area】 is a ‘project’ within the authority of the island owner, not a real protection area.”

     Li Yaolin vaguely understood what the little mermaid meant: “When I set up the 【No Fishing Zone】 before, you mentioned that if the affinity coefficient increases to a certain level, the area can be upgraded to a special protection area. So this ‘special protection area’ is now a real protection area, right?

     “But the affinity coefficient of the 【Wildlife Ecological Protection Area】 is only 17 points, which should not be enough for upgrading, right? Can I understand that there are two ways to upgrade to a real protection area, one is to use the affinity coefficient of the system to make the ecological environment of the area meet the standards for establishing a protection area; the other is to pass the official stamp certification? “

     The little mermaid gave her a flower and said: “(o゜▽゜)o☆【BINGO! 】 Please keep up the good work, island owner, and work hard to manage and develop the island, so that the sea god will have a happy holiday! “

     “But what do these change notifications mean? “

   【The types of some marine functional areas have changed and changed to special protection areas.】

     She could understand this part, that is, the original use of the 70 hectares of sea area owned by Xingzhou Island was “recreation and entertainment sea use”. Later, she allocated the 23 hectares of sea area in the north of Xingzhou Island, that is, the head of the boat, to the protection area. So after the establishment of the protection area, the marine function of the 23 hectares became “special protection area, special use of sea”.

     She knew the rest of the words, but when they were put together, she couldn’t understand what was going on?

     The little mermaid explained: “‘In this area, the degree of development and utilization has changed, and new sea area management requirements and marine environmental protection requirements have been added’ means that due to the change in the use of the sea in the special protection area, and in accordance with relevant policy requirements, the area will have mandatory marine environmental protection requirements. “

     “In other words, environmental protection used to depend on my own consciousness, but now even if I am not conscious, the government will have mandatory requirements? “

     The little mermaid nodded its round head and said, “As for ‘the island owner’s rights to develop the area are limited’, it means that even if you are an island owner with development rights, you will be subject to certain restrictions when you want to develop the area at will. It will no longer be like now, where you can develop a diving base wherever you want.”

     “So this rule has the biggest impact on me.” Li Yaolin said, 

     “I was wondering why the system would be so generous to compensate me with 40 hectares of ocean use rights. But why is it 40 hectares, not 23 hectares?”

     “Did the island owner forget that in addition to the 23 hectares of sea area, there are 5 hectares of island land area? “

     After the little mermaid explained, Li Yaolin finally understood that the sea area was measured by the standard of usage money.

     For example: the “annual rent” of the island land of Xingzhou Island is 25,100 yuan/hectare, and 5 hectares is 125,500 yuan. This money can be used to rent about 17 hectares of sea area for entertainment development, plus the 23 hectares of sea area, a total of 40 hectares.

     It’s just like demolition. When valuable houses are demolished but there is no equivalent resettlement house as compensation, the compensation is equal to the amount of demolition money.

     As for the 100 hectares of special sea, it was officially designated as a special protection area, and Li Yaolin’s development rights in this area were also strictly restricted.

     Does it mean that Li Yaolin is shooting herself in the foot by setting up a protection area?

     In fact, it is not Of course, it can be seen from the information on the APP:

 

  【Island】Xingzhou Island

  【Island Owner】 Li Yaolin+

  【Area】 4.3 square kilometers (430 hectares: 220 hectares of island land area/210 hectares of sea area)

  【Development Progress】• Infrastructure +32% (1 reservoir, 3 public toilets, simple dock, gate, power system, 2KM road, sunshade pavilion, convenience store, employee dormitory, reception hall building complex, hatchery, 10 holiday homes)

   • Amusement facilities +5% (Level 3 sea fishing ground, Level 3 white sand beach, Level 1 diving base)

   • Environmental protection facilities +35% (no-fishing zone, special marine ecological protection zone)

  【Business level】 Level 3+

  【Rating】 None

  【Sea God Satisfaction】 29

 

…

 

     Li YaoLin still has the right to use 5 hectares of coastline (beach) and 123 hectares of ocean in the special protection zone, but according to the principle of “protection first, moderate use” in the special protection zone, development will be restricted, and she also received an additional 40 hectares of ocean area compensation.

     For example, when Li Yaolin’s house and land were expropriated during the demolition, she received equivalent land as compensation based on the value of the house and land. However, due to the special nature of the house and land, Li Yaolin still enjoys the right to use it. Although she cannot renovate the house, it is still okay to live in it.

     In a word, Li Yaolin made a fortune.

     The only regret for Li Yaolin is that the 40 hectares of sea area added as compensation is not where she wants to choose. The system automatically takes Xingzhou Island as the center and divides the non- sea area of the protected area evenly covers 40 hectares.

     For example, Xingzhou Island is a football field, and the surrounding sea area is the runway next to the football field. Now there are 40 hectares of land for her to develop. If she were to choose, she might build a basketball court to the south of the football field; but the system did not give her the opportunity to choose, and automatically expanded the four runways to eight runways.

     Not long after, Li Yaolin got a new certificate after the official updated the relevant information, and the official caliber also wanted to give her some compensation.

     Li Yaolin: “…”

     I don’t know whether to say that the system has someone in the official place, or the official has someone in the system, otherwise how can it be so cooperative and efficient?

     But judging from the fact that the system does not allow her to disclose the existence of the system to the outside world, it is probably the former!

 

——

 

     The management of the special protection area is not the responsibility of Xingzhou Island. At the beginning of its establishment, Yóushì established a team “Marine Ecological Special Protection Area Management Station” to manage the protection area. 

     However, due to the special location of the reserve and the role played by Xingzhou Island in it, Yóushì officials decided to jointly develop and build with Xingzhou Island, and only collect 5% of the ticket revenue as the “operating income” of the reserve.

     Li Yaolin had no objection to this. Although the reserve was established because of her development and construction, pollution control, and attracted turtles to lay eggs and live there, she never regarded Xingzhou Island and the ocean as her private property.

     The increased area of ocean use is enough to show that the system recognizes her approach, and the increased 2 points of “Sea God Satisfaction” show that Sea God is also happy to see this happen.

     As for the 5% of the ticket revenue that was divided out, it is actually not much money. Tickets have never been the biggest part of Xingzhou Island’s income. For example, at 10,000 yuan a day, only 500 yuan belongs to the income of the reserve.

    And Li Yaolin found that the operating costs of the reserve have been reduced!

 

  【Special Marine Ecological Protection Area (Municipal Level)】

     Affinity coefficient: 17

     Pollution index: 30 (Level 3 pollution)

     Operation cost: 500 yuan/day

 

     Li Yaolin reasonably suspected that this part of the cost was transferred to the expenditure of the protection area.

     Later, when she saw the annual final accounts report of the protection area management station, she found that there was an item of “environmental protection expenditure”, and the amount was exactly the same as 5% of the total ticket revenue of Xingzhou Island collected by the protection area.

     Of course, this is all later, and she did not pay attention to this matter for the time being.

     When the team members of the management station came out, Li Yaolin found that almost all of them were her old acquaintances.

     The stationmaster was a clerk of the natural resources department arranged by Yóushì. Li Yaolin met him when she went to the city for a meeting. Later, when the official wanted to carry out the “ecological civilization construction demonstration zone” work, they also had exchanges.

     He was responsible for coordinating the work of the protection area, and was also responsible for communicating and cooperating with Xingzhou Island to jointly discuss protection and development plans.

     Under him are three deputy station chiefs, one of whom is Cen Yingda, who came to assist Li Yaolin in setting up the reserve, and is responsible for the protection, management, investigation and monitoring of the reserve.

     The second deputy station chief is Captain Pan of the Biwan New District Law Enforcement Detachment of the Fisheries Department. He holds several positions and is responsible for maintaining public security in the protected area and supervising fishermen to prevent them from engaging in illegal activities in the protected area.

     The last deputy station chief is Long Feng, who has been working here for a long time. It is reported that he applied for a transfer on his own. Because of his suitable qualifications and professional title, he was officially transferred to the deputy station chief of the reserve, responsible for scientific research, publicity and education.

     Wan Min has a nominal position here, and is only responsible for scientific research, not specific affairs. After all, she has a full-time job in the reserve in Hui City, and she is a professor at the Ocean University. She is very busy on weekdays, and the small reserve here cannot afford her for the time being.

     When Cen Yingda came to work in the reserve, he met Li Yaolin and said, “Fortunately, it is a special reserve, not a nature reserve, otherwise Mr. Li would have to give up this place.”

     There are differences between “special reserves” and “nature reserves”. The most intuitive difference is that the principle of the former is “protection first, moderate development”, while the latter will be subject to stricter management and almost no development is allowed. Not to mention the area designated by Li Yaolin, I am afraid that even the entire Xingzhou Island is prohibited from development.

     Li Yaolin said, “Even if you want to set up a nature reserve, it does not meet the conditions!”

     The focus of the nature reserve is “nature”, that is, its originality, just like a nature reserve dominated by virgin forests. Instead of protecting its originality, the special reserve focuses on restoring its ecology and environment.

     As we all know, Xingzhou Island is different from the Turtle Bay in Huizhou City. It is not a spawning ground for turtles. The ecological environment before development was not very good. It was not until Li Yaolin developed and treated pollution, improved and restored the marine environment, that turtles and seabirds were attracted to come and lay eggs and live.

     Therefore, it is more appropriate to be a “special protection zone” than a “nature reserve”.

     What Li Yaolin did not say was that if this place was really to be designated as a “nature reserve”, it would be like demolition, and the government would have to compensate her, right? The value of this island could make her a billionaire. And she could also tell the system that she was forced to sell the island, not her own initiative, so it couldn’t be blamed on her!

     The little mermaid: “…”

     Island owner, you haven’t given up the idea of selling the island yet?

     Have you forgotten the pain after the scar healed, and the frightening scene of “Sea God Satisfaction” repeatedly jumping around the edge of -100?
