Within the width of the narrow mouth of Jiaozhou Bay, 15 nautical miles east to west, north to south and 18 sea miles (low tide), the area of 446 square kilometers, stretching inland to the semi-closed bay, natural deep water channel depth of 10 to 15 meters, no sediment deposition, generally do not freeze in winter. Qingdao Port is located in the northern bay, coastal water transport hub in the Yellow Sea in Shandong Province and the Central Plains in parts of one of the important sea lanes.

Jiaozhou Bay Events
November 14, 2007 the German occupation of Jiaozhou Bay 110 anniversary of the anniversary in this special happened over a hundred years to look after a recount, appear very meaningful. Because the current lack of more detailed records, for example, some witness memories. We can only re-compilation of some of the information scattered as far as possible the occupation of the whole process of a restore operation, bearing in mind the history of membership in order to remind everyone, do not forget national humiliation ... ...
The day before the incident, the November 13, 1897, based in Shanghai weekdays Wusongkou appeared in the German Far Eastern fleet off the coast in the south of Qingdao.

The "Cormorant" in the opportunity into the Bay, Horseshoe Reef in the vicinity of the mooring, ready to opportunistic occupation of the small abalone Island arsenal and armory, and from behind the outflanking.
November 14, 1897, twenty-three years according to the lunar calendar is the October Nianri dynasty. Dawn, "Cormorant" was put down while several boats, boat contained more than 100 German soldiers, taking advantage of the morning mist is not casual, in one fell swoop, after Qing troops occupied the barracks and not far from the arsenal of the sea.

Half an hour later, with three times the German Long live the emperor (Ural), the German navy's three-color battle flag raised. The chapter retreat at this time of high per square village.
Dietrich bureaucratic lobby in the occupation of Jiaozhou Bay and said all the islands and nearby land, adding that if people dare to make trouble with Chinese side, will increase penalties.

Subsequently, this unit continues to move forward Jiaozhou, chasing retreat of the Qing.
The mother of Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao. Jiaozhou Bay, Hong Kong Sham Shui Po width, wave wavelet light, no ice, is a rare natural harbor. Jiaozhou Bay area was first recorded in the "rubber O chi," "rubber O records," recorded in 1928 on a total water area of Jiaozhou Bay is 560 square kilometers.
North Sea Branch of State Oceanic Administration, the information provided: the waters of Jiaozhou Bay area in 1958 is 535 square kilometers; 1977 was 423 square kilometers; in 1985 to 374.4 square kilometers. At present, the total water area of Jiaozhou Bay is only 367 square kilometers. That is, since 1928 70 years, reducing the area of Jiaozhou Bay, 193 kilometers, from the seventies of last century began, significantly faster reclamation of Jiaozhou Bay, Jiaozhou Bay, the water area the average annual reduction of about 2 .9 square kilometers. Right now, the waters of Jiaozhou Bay area only 66% of the 1928.
Power of well-known experts in marine engineering, Ocean University of China, Professor Hou of the view that natural variation and human development is the main cause shrinking of Jiaozhou Bay, in which the excesses of human reclamation project is the decisive factor.
Chang Wen-Sheng Chinese Academy of Sciences that excessive land reclamation is bound to lead to reduced tidal volume, which led to self-purification capacity of water decreases. The most direct impact is the deterioration of ecological environment. Data show that in 1935 Jiaozhou Bay tidal volume 1.1822 billion cubic meters, the maximum surface velocity of 1.8 m / s; 1985 tidal volume 914.4 million cubic meters, the largest surface water velocity is 1. 2 m / sec. Now the tide is only more than 700 million cubic meters. Jiaozhou Bay waters is important in many species of migratory fish habitat, in fact, large-scale reclamation projects where the terrain and water flow caused the change has affected fish habitat and fish migration law. |
