On August 7, 2016, the inauguration ceremony of State Key Laboratory of Marine Resources Utilization in South China Sea (MRU) was held in the Haidian Campus of Hainan University, marking the official establishment and operation of MRU. The ceremony was attended by Lu Wang, Vice Governor of Hainan Province, Yiyun Shi, Vice Chairman of Hainan Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Director of Hainan Provincial Department of Science and Technology, and Runzhi Zhong, Deputy Secretary General of The People’s Government of Hainan Province. The attendees also included: Xiankun Cao, Director of The Education Department of Hainan Province; Chuanxi Yang, Deputy Director of Department of Finance of Hainan Province; Xiangmin Li, Deputy Director of Department of Ocean and Fisheries of Hainan Province; Tianliang Yang, Director of Institute of Remote Sensing Application of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS); Haitao Shi, Vice President of Hainan Normal University; Jianchun Guo, Vice President of Hainan Tropical Ocean College; Bangqin Huang, Chief Scientist of State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science of Xiamen University; Yaoting Wu, Jianbao Li, Xiaoping Diao, Zhongping He, Guohua Fu, Yang Cao, Xinwen Hu, Xingfeng Chen and Chongmin Wang, leaders of Hainan University. Yiyun Shi, on behalf of the Hainan Provincial Department of Science and Technology, expressed his warm congratulations to the birth of MRU. He said that MRU was the first state key laboratory in universities in Hainan, which was a major event in the history of Hainan’s scientific and technological development, and Hainan must fully make good use of this important research platform. In this regard, he put forward three points. First, he hoped MRU to continue to solidify its foundation, especially in terms of team building and talent training. Second, he hoped MRU to explore boldly and find a unique and efficient institutional mechanism. Third, he hoped MRU to actively serve the economic and social development of Hainan and the South China Sea strategy, produce high-level scientific and technological achievements, and make contributions to the construction and development of Hainan’s marine science and technology. Xiankun Cao said in his speech that MRU would become an important intellectual support and scientific research guarantee for the implementation of “strong maritime nation” strategy and BRI as well as the sustainable development of Hainan’s economy. The Education Department of Hainan Province would, as always, support MRU in terms of team building, high-level talents introduction and leading talents training. He hoped that Hainan University would take MRU as an opportunity to turn the scientific research advantages into teaching advantages, improve the quality of education, and comprehensively promote its “Double First-Class University Plan” construction. Besides, he hoped that Hainan University would build MRU into a talent training and scientific research base which was pioneering in China and renowned in the whole world through mechanism innovation, resource integration and cross-fertilization of disciplines. Jianbao Li said that the construction of MRU was the current priorities of Hainan University. Hainan University would strengthen the MRU construction, promote the discipline cross-fertilization, and facilitate MRU’s fast development. Besides, Hainan University would resolutely implement the principle of “openness, mobility, collaboration, competition”, give full play to the guidance and supervision of academic committee and make all instrument and equipment resources available, so as to build MRU into a talent training and scientific research base which was pioneering in China and renowned in the whole world, which provided solid scientific and technological support and talents for the national strategy in the South China Sea and for the transformation of Hainan Province from the “province with a large marine area” to the “province with a large marine economy”. Lu Wang, Yiyun Shi, Runzhi Zhong, Xiankun Cao, Chuanxi Yang, Xiangmin Li, Yaoting Wu, Jianbao Li, Tianliang Yang, Haitao Shi, Jianchun Guo and other leaders and guests jointly inaugurated MRU. People in charge of The Education Department of Hainan Province, Hainan Development and Reform Commission, Department of Finance of Hainan Province, Department of Ocean and Fisheries of Hainan Province, Hainan Normal University, Hainan Tropical Ocean College, Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering of CAS, Institute of Remote Sensing Application of CAS, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology of CAS, Institute of Acoustics of CAS, State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science of Xiamen University and Hainan Academy of Ocean and Fisheries Sciences and representatives of teachers and students of Hainan University attended the event. In July, 2016, the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China and The People’s Government of Hainan Province jointly issued the “Notice on the Approval of the Construction of the State Key Laboratory of Marine Resources Utilization in South China Sea”, which officially marked the birth of MRU which was affiliated to Hainan University. MRU is the first state key laboratory in the universities of Hainan. In order to meet the needs of South China Sea strategy, MRU mainly focuses on the utilization of marine bioresources in the South China Sea, the utilization of new marine mineral resources in the South China Sea, and marine information recycling technology in the South China Sea. And there are nine sub-orientations, which are exploitation and utilization of economic organism resources, utilization and biological technology of marine drug, utilization of microbial resources, marine ranching recycling and marine biological protection, utilization of high-purity quartz sand and related new materials, marine materials engineering, marine energy technology and related materials, marine information perception and transmission technology, and marine information treatment technology and recycling application.
