also made “building a beautiful China” a vital part of our journey of building a
strong socialist country, incorporating “the provision of more high-quality ecological goods to meet people’s ever-growing demand for a beautiful environment” into
our strategy for enhancing people’s livelihood, and corresponding to the overall
layout of the Five-sphere Integrated Plan – all of which were major strategic tasks
in our new journey of fully building a modern socialist China. Given the fact that
the ecological and environmental problems are not accumulated in a day, coupled
with oceanic mobility, complexity, and hysteresis, it is impossible to improve the
quality of the marine ecological environment overnight. Therefore, we need make
strategic arrangements for oceanic conservation in a pragmatic and far-sighted way,
and continue to refine, deepen, and optimize the timetable, roadmap and project
charter for preserving marine ecological environment.
Now, it is necessary to make short-term plans to focus on the comprehensive
management of the Bohai Sea, while making long-term efforts to help realize the
vision of preserving the beautiful ocean; it is also necessary to lay out plans for nearshore management, and coordinate land and sea management and to expand efforts to
include the deep sea and the polar regions. To implement the “two centenary goals,”
given the characteristics and requirements of marine environmental protection, our
oceanic conservation was initially divided into three periods, namely the key breakthrough period (2019–2020), the comprehensive improvement period (2020–2035),
and the consolidation and enhancement period (2035–2050).
(1) The key breakthrough period: We should focus on making breakthroughs to
win the battle in the comprehensive management of the Bohai Sea. We must
ensure the effective improvement of the sea’s ecological environment to realize
the goal of the Action Plan for the Comprehensive Management of the Bohai
Sea. Meanwhile, we should put in efforts to create a pioneering area for pollution control and environmental improvement across China, keep continued
improvement of the oceanic habitats, solve the serious problems plaguing the
marine ecological environment, curb marine ecological degradation, continue
to improve the quality of marine ecological environment, and keep the ocean
clean and healthy.
(2) The comprehensive improvement period: After achieving solid results and
accumulating experience in key areas, we should expand and deepen our efforts
to prevent pollution and help restore natural habitats, improve the service functions of the marine ecosystem, effectively maintain the biological resources of
the ocean, effectively prevent and control environmental risks, greatly improve
the marine ecological environment, make significant progress in building the
marine environmental governance system and governance capacity in a bid to
keep the ocean healthy.
(3) The consolidation and enhancement period: We should consolidate the results
of marine environmental protection and governance, thoroughly improve the
marine ecological environment, make the marine ecological system healthy and
stable, continue to improve our ability to provide marine ecological goods,
make the ocean more accessible to the public, raise people’s awareness of
