他遇到的第一个问题是让热带的麒麟菜在莆田相对较冷的海水中生长。在中科院科学家的帮助下，李钧发现一个品种的麒麟菜可以在较冷的环境下生长。

His first problem was getting the tropical Eucheuma to grow in the cooler waters off Putian .

一直以来，中国科学家李钧在中科院青岛海洋研究所进行他的科研工作。

Chinese scientist Li Jun used to spend his days doing research at the Qingdao Institute of Oceanology .

当李钧来到莆田的时候，莆田的海岸被当地许多养鱼场和养虾场排出的废水严重污染。

When Li arrived , Putian 's coastline was heavily polluted by effluent from the city 's many fish and shrimp farms .

李钧把能赚钱的海藻介绍给了莆田的农民，这就是一个例子。“现在他们叫我麒麟菜市长，”李钧骄傲地说。

Li Jun who introduced lucrative seaweed farming to the famers of Putian , is just one example : " They now call me Mayor Eucheuma ," he says proudly .

事实上，在李钧被任命为副市长之后不久，他就意识到他的科学知识在莆田是无价的。

Indeed , soon after being appointed , Li realised his scientific background could be invaluable in Putian , and he is still there now , in his second term in office .
