The proportion of excellent state-controlled sections reached 55.6%, an increase of 11.2% year-on-year; The proportion of areas with excellent water quality in coastal waters reached 78.7%, an increase of 30.6% year-on-year, setting a new monitoring record. The total nitrogen concentration at the T-junction of the Yellow River estuary section improved by 10.3% year-on-year, which was 18.3% higher than that of the Yellow River inlet section, and the total nitrogen was once again "double optimized". The safe utilization rate of construction land in the city has reached 100% for four consecutive years.
