The "Xianbin Reef Coral Reef Ecosystem Survey Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") jointly compiled by the South China Sea Development Research Institute of the Ministry of Natural Resources and a number of units was released in Beijing on the 30th. Based on the findings of the "Report", China Central Radio and Television Station Nanhai Voice launched the first Xianbin Reef ecological survey documentary "If Xianbin Reef Could Talk".

　△Documentary "If Xianbin Reef Could Talk"

From May to July 2024, a professional marine ecological survey team composed of Chinese scientists conducted an investigation on Xianbin Reef in China's Nansha Islands. The investigation found that the coral reef ecosystem of Xianbin Reef is in an overall healthy state but is partially damaged. The existing six sandbars are all naturally formed, and three of them are exposed to the sea surface at high tide. The "Report" also shows that frequent human activities in Xianbin Reef and nearby waters have a great coercive impact on the health of the coral reef ecosystem in the region.

The "Report" shows that the claims concocted by the Philippines that China's artificial accumulation of coral debris on Xianbin Reef has caused massive bleaching and death of corals in the area have no scientific or factual basis.

　△Survey and research results show that the coral debris produced by the reef flats where the six sandbars are located is enough to form sandbars.

The Chinese-English bilingual documentary "If Xianbin Reef Could Talk" scientifically reveals the secrets of the broken corals of Xianbin Reef through exclusive interviews with many scientists and scientific expedition team members who participated in the remote sensing mapping and on-site investigation of the project, using first-hand survey images and rigorous data. Mystery, it strongly refutes the false accusations made by the Philippines, and urges the Philippines to stop unilateral actions, effectively promote the restoration of Xianbin Reef to its original state, and return Xianbin Reef to its original tranquility and beauty.

　△Satellite remote sensing experts used scientific data to reveal the mystery of the broken coral in Xianbin Reef.

　△The chief scientist of the coral reef survey voyage warned that the Philippines’ frequent activities will cause continued damage to the coral reefs of Xianbin Reef.

　△The coverage rate of reef-building corals in Xianbin Reef is at a high level in the world. Experts from the survey team call on everyone to cherish it.

At the same time, the film presents the aerial photography, underwater and reef flat beauty of Xianbin Reef with stunning high-definition shots. Through the images recorded by the survey team, people can immersively experience the natural and harmonious living conditions of rare creatures such as long-beaked dolphins, green sea turtles, hawksbill turtles, and black-naped terns.

Xianbin Reef, part of China’s Nansha Islands, is commonly known as “fish scale” by local fishermen. "If Xianbin Reef Could Talk" is an appeal to the world, calling on more people to cherish the natural ecology of Xianbin Reef and cherish our uninterrupted encounter with them. This is also the common expectation of other countries in the South China Sea.

"The Report" was jointly prepared by the South China Sea Development Research Institute, the South China Sea Ecological Center, the South China Sea Survey Center, the Hainan Nansha Coral Reef Ecosystem National Field Scientific Observation and Research Station, and the South China Sea Remote Sensing Mapping Collaborative Application Technology Innovation Center under the Ministry of Natural Resources. The "New South China Sea "Participate in the recording of live images.
