BEIJING, December 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On December 29, China’s Ministry of Natural Resources released an investigation report on the Huangyan Dao coral reef ecosystem. Based on this report, CMG Voice of the South China Sea released the ecological documentary Unfailing commitment: why Huangyan Dao needs protection.
This latest report, covering four decades from 1985 to 2025, draws on data from more than 60 research voyages and incorporates 16 years of satellite remote sensing data. This shows that the coral reef ecosystem of Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve is generally in good condition.
The documentary Unfailing commitment: why Huangyan Dao needs protection introduces the public to the healthy and lush seagrass beds, as well as the rare and endangered wildlife freely inhabiting the Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve, such as the green sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle and spotted eagle ray. At the same time, the film reflects the concerns of scientists: the threats posed by the fourth global coral bleaching are still present. This survey also identified the presence of a small number of crown-of-thorns starfish in the waters around Huangyan Dao, and the risk of future outbreaks cannot be ruled out.
Today, more than 2,500 marine protected areas involving coral reefs have been created around the world. The establishment of the Huangyan Dao National Nature Reserve is undoubtedly a solemn commitment made by the Chinese people, hoping that it will inspire more people to contribute to maintaining and improving the diversity, stability and sustainability of the Huangyan Dao coral reef ecosystem.
