Introduction and detailed information of Beibu Gulf

Geographical location

Beibu Gulf (English name: Beibu Gulf) is a bay between Leizhou Peninsula, Hainan Island, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Vietnam in Guangdong, China, all on the continental shelf. The continental shelf is about 260 miles wide, and the water depth gradually deepens from the shore to the central part, with the deepest reaching 80 meters. It covers an area of ??nearly 130,000 square kilometers, slightly larger than the Bohai Sea.

The average water depth is 42 meters, with the deepest reaching 100 meters. There are Nanliu River, Hong River and other inflows. Since there are not many rivers along the coast, less sediment is brought into the bay. Winter and above 10℃. The fish are mainly warm water species, and it is an excellent fishing ground for catching scarlet carp, red snapper, golden thread fish, blue round trevally and other fish. The main ports include Zhanjiang Port, Fangcheng Port, Qinzhou Port and Beihai Port in China, as well as Bianshui and Haiphong in Vietnam. Beibu Gulf natural environment and climate type

Beibu Gulf is located in the tropics and subtropics. In winter, it is affected by the cold air from the continent, with frequent northeasterly winds, and the sea surface temperature is about 20°C; in summer, the wind comes from the tropical ocean, with mostly southwesterly winds. , the sea surface temperature is as high as 30℃, and it is often hit by typhoons. Generally, about 5 typhoons pass through here every year. Seabed landforms

Beibu Bay is surrounded by land on three sides, with a water depth of 10-60 meters. The seabed is relatively simple, gradually descending from the top of the bay to the mouth of the bay. The seabed is relatively flat, and the sediment brought from the land is deposited on it. It is a large sedimentary basin of the Cenozoic Era, with sedimentary layers thousands of meters thick and rich in oil and natural gas resources. Coastal rivers

Injected by Nanliu River, Honghe River, etc.

Ocean current water temperature

The ocean currents in the Beibu Gulf turn counterclockwise in winter, and the water in the outer sea along the The east side of the bay goes north, and the water in the bay goes south along the west side of the bay, forming a circulation; in summer, driven by the southwest monsoon, the ocean current forms a circulation in the opposite direction. Beibu Gulf Scenery 2

Here, the tide rises and falls only once a day, called a diurnal tide. The tidal range of rising and falling gradually increases from the mouth of the bay to the top of the bay. In the waters near the North Sea, the maximum tidal range can reach 7 meters. The current flows generally along the coast, flowing back and forth. This is called a reciprocating current. The annual average water temperature is as high as 24.5℃. Natural resources

The Beibu Gulf is rich in resources. Due to its rich bait, it is rich in more than 50 species of snapper, golden thread fish, sardine, bamboo kingfish, blue trevally, tuna, flounder, pomfret, mackerel, etc. It grows fish with economic value, as well as shrimps, crabs, shellfish, etc., making it one of China's excellent fishing grounds.

The shallow sea and tidal flats along the coast are vast, which is an excellent place for the development of marine aquaculture. Shellfish include oysters, pearl oysters, sun and moon clams, mud clams, clams, etc. The famous Hepu Pearl (also known as Hepu Pearl) at home and abroad Nanzhu) is produced here. Weizhou Island, Yinggehai and other seabed oil and natural gas resources are also considerable. There are many mangroves in the coastal estuary areas. Strategic position

Beibu Gulf is the closest outlet to the sea in China's southwestern region. Among them, Fangcheng Port is known as a natural deep-water port. It is the port with the shortest voyage from mainland China to Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe and Oceania. It is the main sea passage for goods in Southwest China and South China. It is one of the 20 major coastal hub ports in the country. It is now open to more than 100 countries and regions around the world. Important cities in the Beibu Gulf - Beibu Gulf Urban Agglomeration, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province

National Development and Reform Plan [2017] No. 277: A national-level urban agglomeration approved for construction. The planning coverage includes Nanning City and Beihai City in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. , Qinzhou City, Fangchenggang City, Yulin City, Chongzuo City, Zhanjiang City, Maoming City, Yangjiang City in Guangdong Province, and Haikou City, Danzhou City, Dongfang City, Chengmai County, Lingao County, and Changjiang County in Hainan Province. The planned land area of ??the urban agglomeration is 116,600 square kilometers and the coastline is 4,234 kilometers, including corresponding sea areas. At the end of 2015, the permanent population was 41.41 million, and the regional GDP was 1,629.5 billion yuan, accounting for 3.01% and 2.25% of the country's total respectively. According to the plan, the overall positioning of the Beibu Gulf urban agglomeration is to leverage its geographical advantages, explore regional characteristics, and build a blue bay urban agglomeration that is oriented to ASEAN, serves the "Three Souths" (Southwest, Central, South, and South China) and is livable and suitable for business. Beibu Gulf Urban Agglomeration

The "Plan" points out that it is necessary to build an urban agglomeration framework of "one bay, two axes, one core and two poles". "One Bay" refers to the coastal area around the Beibu Gulf supported by Beihai, Zhanjiang, Haikou and other cities. The "double axis" refers to the urban development axis of Qinfang and Zhanmaoyang in the south and north, the "core" refers to the core city of Nanning, and the "two poles" refers to the two growth poles centered on Haikou and Zhanjiang. Important Cities Beibu Gulf my country's port cities located on the shores of the Beibu Gulf include Zhanjiang in Guangdong, Beihai, Qinzhou, and Fangchenggang in Guangxi, all of which are important port cities. The Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone is located at the center of the top of the Beibu Gulf. It mainly includes the areas under the jurisdiction of Nanning City, Beihai City, Qinzhou City, and Fangchenggang City, and also includes the transportation and logistics of the inland cities Yulin City and Chongzuo City. Boundary Delimitation

In 2006, the maritime boundary issue in the Beibu Gulf between China and Vietnam was finally resolved. The exclusive economic zone and territorial sea baselines were determined. China and Vietnam signed an agreement to divide the territorial sea and exclusive economic zone in the Beibu Gulf, making Border disputes in the Gulf of Tonkin region no longer exist.

Legal boundary

Beibu Gulf (called Tokyo Bay in Vietnam), Beibu Gulf is the sea channel in the southwest of my country. It is rich in oil, gas and marine biological resources and is also a famous fishing ground.

Before the 1970s, there was no demarcation of boundaries in the Beibu Gulf, and fishermen from the two countries worked together in the Beibu Gulf regardless of each other. However, in the late 1970s, Sino-Vietnam relations deteriorated. Since Chinese fishermen had better fishing equipment, Vietnam was obviously at a disadvantage, so Vietnam began to take control measures, sometimes even shooting and armed seizure of Chinese fishing boats. After the 1990s, China-Vietnam relations improved, but disputes between fishermen from both sides continued, and Vietnam repeatedly confiscated Chinese fishing boats. Scenery of Beibu Gulf 1

In 1974, China and Vietnam began negotiations on the demarcation of the Beibu Gulf. Especially after the normalization of relations between the two countries and the signing of a land boundary treaty between the two countries in 1999, the negotiation process accelerated. On December 25, 2000, the two countries signed the "Delimitation Agreement between the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on the Delimitation of the Territorial Sea, Exclusive Economic Zone and Continental Shelf of the Tonkin Gulf". In addition to the preamble and tail, the Agreement has 11 articles. The first article confirms the legal basis for the two parties to delimit the Beibu Gulf and clarifies the delimitation scope of this agreement; the second to fifth articles determine the 21 Each boundary point delimits the territorial waters, exclusive economic zones and continental shelves of the two countries in the Beibu Gulf; the agreement also clarifies the principles of cooperation in the development of cross-border oil and gas resources and other mineral deposits, as well as the conservation and utilization of biological resources. The legislative bodies of the two countries have successively approved this agreement, marking that the maritime boundary between China and Vietnam in the Beibu Gulf has been delineated. Delimitation is closely related to fishery issues

Fishery disputes are an important dispute between China and Vietnam in the Gulf of Tonkin. Therefore, in addition to demarcation, fishery arrangements are also an important part of the border negotiations in the Gulf of Tonkin. The two countries adopted a bundled solution to demarcation and fishery issues in order to find a compromise point between the interests of both parties. Therefore, the China-Vietnam Beibu Gulf Fishery Cooperation Agreement and the Beibu Gulf Delimitation Agreement were signed at the same time. After the "Beibu Gulf Delimitation Agreement" comes into effect, the conditions for the "Fishery Cooperation Agreement" to take effect have become mature.

The signing of these agreements is conducive to the stability of the border between China and Vietnam and the long-term peace and order of the Beibu Gulf region. It is conducive to further promoting the healthy development of China-Vietnam relations and is in line with China's fundamental interests. However, the withdrawal of a large number of fishing boats from traditional fishing grounds will still have an impact on fishery production in the three provinces of Qionggui and Guangdong. In the past, more than 6,000 fishing boats in Guangdong operated in the western waters of the Beibu Gulf, but now they have to return to the eastern waters of the Beibu Gulf. 59% of the fishing boats in Hainan Province operate in the waters of the Beibu Gulf. According to the "Fishery Cooperation Agreement", Hainan Province plans to start from 2003 Since 2006, 570 fishing boats have been phased out every year, and 12,000 fishermen have changed their jobs. From 2002 to 2006, 2,471 fishing boats will be phased out and scrapped. In response to this change, the country has formulated a fishermen transition plan and allocated special funds to support some fishermen to go ashore and transition to other industries.
