for the protection of the marine ecological environment. Finally, we should create
an inter-regional coordination and cooperation mechanism for tackling cross-region
and cross-boundary marine pollution, and strengthen vertical guidance and horizontal linkage; what’s more, we should reconstruct the “river basin-estuary-sea”
environmental quality standard system to effectively combine standards and data
from different regions and varied media.
6. Actively getting involved in global oceanic governance and building a new
pattern of marine environmental governance
We should actively participate in global oceanic governance, jointly promote the
blue economy and maritime cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, focus on
solving serious issues like ocean pollution, marine debris and micro plastics, ocean
acidification, deoxygenation, and reduced marine biodiversity, and create a marine
environmental governance system that gets everyone involved—a system led by the
government, with enterprises as the main body, and participation by social organizations and the public. Furthermore, we should keep guiding international response
to climate change, strengthen capacity building in the marine sector to address
climate change, vigorously promote international maritime exchange and cooperation, further exert China’s leading role in international bilateral and multilateral
maritime governance, and actively enhance multidisciplinary collaborative research
on nature’s influence on society and the economy across the world to marshal joint
response to global marine environmental issues.
