On the afternoon of March 9, 2023,

teachers and students from the International DepartmentofShenzhenHualangSchoolheld a meaningful event at the beach of Rose Coast to protect the beautiful coastal ecological environment and safeguard our blue skies and clear waters.

Wecleaned up the coastline ofDapengNew District along the Rose Coast beach, usingourfootsteps and actions to convey the concept of ecological civilization to protect the marine environment to all of humanity.

Additionally, as all of our students participate in the Duke of Edinburgh’s International awards, we are trying to use this project as our voluntary service, hoping that it bring fun and fulfillment to our life.

為保護美好沿海生態環境，護衛我們的藍天碧水，深圳市華朗學校國際部師生在3月9日的下午13時許，于玫瑰海岸的沙灘舉辦了一場別具意義的活動——沿著玫瑰海岸的沙灘，凈化大鵬新區美麗的海岸線，用腳步和行動向全人類傳達保護海洋環境的的生態文明理念。

此外，本次項目也將作為同學們參與愛丁堡公爵獎的志愿服務項目，通過項目式實踐帶來樂趣和成就感。

Located inDapengNew District, the Rose Coast Scenic Area boasts a tranquil blue bay and the faint silhouette of Hong Kong"s mountains. Stretching over a kilometer long, the soft sandy beach and clear seawater attract visitors with their natural beauty.

Thevariously shapednatural reefs and primitive trees deeply impress everystudent and teacher’seyes. Accompanied by laughter and joy,studentsand teachersallimmersedthemselves in the embrace of the warm sun and gentle sea breeze.

位于大鵬新區的玫瑰海岸風景區有著寧靜的藍色海灣和若隱若現的香港山巒，綿延一千多米的細軟沙灘和清澈的海水。

形狀萬千的天然礁石和各種原始樹木深深地刻入了每個人的眼睛。伴隨著歡聲笑語，同學和老師們無不沉浸在了暖陽和微咸海風的擁抱之中。

After arriving on the beach, the four teams prepared to start the Biology experiments. Applying the knowledge we’ve learned in the Biology classroom, outside in the nature, we were all curious to try them out in real life.

The first experiment is the Quadrant experiment where students measured the amount of plants and other living organisms such as small insects in different given areas to make a number pyramid and a biomass pyramid. That showed us that our ecosystem is interdependent on each other.

The second experiment is the pH Experiment. We measured the pH value in the soil and in the water to find out the reason why there are different amount of living organisms in different kind of environments. Thirdly, the last experiment we did is on the salinity on the beach. With a salt-density measurer, we compared the salinity in different areas on the beach and made conclusion about the influence of salinity on numbers of organisms. Combining indoor learning and outdoor experiences, all of our students expanded their knowledge on a new and interesting way.

同學們抵達場地后便分為四組緊密鑼鼓地進行三組實驗的實施。

第一個實驗是生物采樣方，學生測量不同給定區域中植物和其他生物（如小昆蟲）的數量，以制作數字金字塔和生物質金字塔。這向我們表明，我們的生態系統是相互依存的。

第二個實驗是pH實驗。我們測量了土壤和水中的pH值，以找出在不同環境中存在不同數量生物的原因。第三，我們做的最后一個實驗是在海灘上的鹽度上。

使用鹽密度測量儀，我們比較了海灘上不同區域的鹽度，并得出了鹽度對生物數量的影響的結論。結合室內學習和室外體驗，我們所有的學生都以一種新的有趣的方式擴展了他們的知識。

In recent years, marine debris pollution has become a widely discussed international issue that has had significant impacts on the economy, politics, and the environment.As the largest recipient of waste on Earth, the ocean absorbs millions of tons of garbage every year, causing irreversible effects on marine life, humans, and theplanet as a whole.

The accumulation of garbage in the ocean obstructs shipping routes, damages vessels, and poses serious harm to marine organisms.Marine animals may be injured or killed by ingesting plastic debris or becoming entangled in discarded fishing nets. Furthermore, persistent andbioaccumulativepollutants in marine debris can also affect humans through the food chain.

Therefore, the fight against marine debris and the urgent need for beach clean-up efforts require the participation of every citizen.

近年來，海洋垃圾的污染已經成為一個廣泛討論的國際問題，對經濟、政治和環境都產生了重大影響。

由于海洋是地球上最大的受納水體，每年吸收上千萬噸垃圾，對海洋生物、人類甚至整個地球都產生了難以逆轉的影響。垃圾在海洋中積聚，阻礙了航運線路，損壞了船只，并對海洋生物造成了嚴重危害。

海洋中的動物可能會因吞食塑料垃圾或被廢棄漁網纏繞而受傷或死亡。此外，海洋垃圾中的持久性、累積性污染物也可能通過食物鏈影響人類。

因此，打擊海洋垃圾、清潔沙灘行動迫在眉睫，需要每個公民參與到這場持久戰中來。

We are not alone.In order tobetter engage in marine environmental protection activities,some of our studentshave become part of theBlue-Ribbon OceanConservation Association(BROCA)Volunteers, and we are also planning to join as a team and become a volunteer school of the association.

TheBROCAwas founded in June 2007 and is the country"s first non-governmental public welfare organization focused on marine environmental protection. The blue ribbon represents gratitude, encouragement, care, and love.

我們并不是孤身一人。為了更好的進行海洋環境保護活動，同學們成為藍絲帶海洋保護志愿者中的一份子，同時我們也正在計劃以團隊形式加入，成為協會志愿學校。

中國藍絲帶海洋保護協會成立于2007年6月，是全國首家以海洋環保為主題的民間公益社會團體。藍絲帶代表了感恩、鼓勵、關懷和愛。

Combining indoor learning and outdoor experiences, all our students expanded their knowledge on a new and interesting way.

After that, our project on cleaning the beach started. As there’s a lot of trash on the beach, our students decided to give all their efforts to clean up the beach. In their groups, they all brought clamps to do the clean-up hoping to strive for a better world.

結合室內學習和室外體驗，我們所有的學生都以一種新的有趣的方式擴展了他們的知識。

之后，我們關于清潔海灘的項目開始了。由于海灘上有很多垃圾，我們的學生決定盡一切努力清理海灘。在他們的小組中，他們都帶了夾子進行清理，為更美好的世界而奮斗。

By going outside the classroom, every student and teacher could contribute to the environment, and it indirectly also raised their awareness to use less plastic and to recycle as much as possible.

After all the efforts, students and teachers used the rest of the time to relax and to do some sports such as playing beach volleyball, soccer, Rugby and frisbee.

It was an educating and entertaining expedition where everyone of them could apply classroom learning in the real world and help to clean the ocean, hoping for a better green.

通過走出教室，每個學生和老師都可以為環境做出貢獻，這也間接提高了他們減少使用塑料和盡可能多回收的意識。經過努力，學生和老師利用剩下的時間放松并做一些運動，如打沙灘排球、足球,橄欖球和飛盤。

這是一次寓教于樂的探險，每個人都可以將課堂學習應用到現實世界中，幫助清潔海洋，希望獲得更好的綠色。
