Hainan Tropical Ocean University Yazhou Bay Innovation Instiute (referred to as The Innovation Institute) is a new type of institution, which has an independent juridical personality and is organized by Hainan Tropical Ocean University; it is committed to creating a high-level research and development institution leading innovation and development of the university and supporting the development of Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City.

 

Relying on the convergence of Science and Technology City elements and resources of universities in disciplines, scientific research, and talent in these three aspects, Innovation Institute not only established the Aquatic and Off-Season Breeding Innovation Center, the Tropical Marine ecology, the blue carbon center, and the Deep Ocean Materials and Equipment Center, but also sets up six related scientific research teams, through which the Innovation Institute focuses on aquatic products breeding, south tropical marine ecosystem protection with blue carbon sinks, and deep ocean observation with detection technology and equipment. Besides, the institution carries out theoretical innovation, technology research, the transformation of scientific research achievement, and the training of talents. The target of the Innovation Institute is to be constructed as an experimental field surrounding innovation and development and talent training of the university, and as technology incubators of science and technology and innovation in these fields containing marine ecology, deep sea, and tropical aquaculture, and then to be the bridge and the link for cooperation and exchange between domestic and international, and finally to make a contribution for the construction of free trade port of Hainan.

1. Tropical Aquatic Germplasm Innovation Team:

Based on the important economic aquatic organisms in the tropics, evaluating the genetic diversity of the natural population, constructing the aquatic economic biological species library, building aquaculture biomolecular breeding technology system, and promoting the development of the aquaculture breeding industry in south China.

2. Efficient breeding team of tropical aquatic seedlings:

Taking the economic species featured in the South China Sea as the research subject, exploring chromosome ploidy manipulation and other technologies, establishing a healthy seedling breeding technology system, and building a large-scale artificial breeding technology system and a factory farming model.

3. Tropical Marine Ecology Team:

Through independent and integrated innovation of Marine ecological environment monitoring/testing technology, exploring emerging contaminants, ocean acidification, ecosystem degradation and other marine ecological environment issues under the influence of climate change and human activities, and establishing a technical support system for marine ecological environment protection, restoration, and pollution prevention based on "land-sea coordination".

4. Blue Carbon Team:

The field of Marine carbon sink, which is the South China Sea and especially the sea-basin around Hainan Island, was taken as a typical study area to establish a Marine carbon budget inventory; It develops fishery sink enhancement models, and establishes carbon sink accounting methods and standards, and promotes marine carbon sink trading and international cooperation.

5. Marine Exploration team:

Conducting the regional ecology of tropical islands and reefs as well as geomorphological surveys; Building an observation system suitable for the complex environment of islands and reefs to obtain basic environmental and ecological data; Establishing high-precision dynamic-ecological-geomorphic evolution models of islands and reefs and related sea areas.

6. Marine Materials and Equipment team:

Focusing on an ecological survey of maritime islands and reefs, topographic and geomorphic exploration, and Marine resources development and utilization; Developing intelligent AUV platforms needed to serve the complex terrain of maritime islands and reefs, efficient tidal power generation equipment, and the related sensors
