As we all know, the gravel layer at the bottom of the lake is an important part of the lake wetland ecosystem. Its formation is closely related to the lake hydrology and water regime. It is not only related to the survival and migration of lake benthic organisms, but also to the annual high and low water periods of Poyang Lake. It is related to coastal plants in different periods and many migratory birds. Relevant people or groups who understand and pay attention to environmental changes in this area are asked to put forward suggestions or opinions on environmental protection as soon as possible.

The deadline for the public solicitation of opinions for this round of environmental impact assessment is March 29, 2024, and this solicitation lasts a total of 10 days.
