China's Ambitious Plan: 200,000 Fish Released Annually to Revive Oceans

China is tackling the global decline in fisheries with an innovative approach: marine ranching. Off the coast of Yantai, the Genghai No. 1 platform, resembling an oil rig, serves not just as a tourist attraction but also as a breeding ground for marine life. Each year, this facility releases 200,000 high-quality fish into the ocean, aiming to replenish diminishing fish stocks. This initiative reflects China’s response to the urgent need for ocean restoration, as fisheries worldwide face collapse. Meanwhile, in the realm of technology, robots are learning at an unprecedented pace, thanks to generative AI. This technology, which has transformed language models, is now being applied to train robots, potentially bringing us closer to the versatile robots of science fiction.
