On July 11, the State Council Information Office held a series of news conferences with the theme of "opening of authoritative departments". Wang Hong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Director of the State Oceanic Administration, said at the conference that the ocean is a strategic place for high-quality development. The Ministry of Natural Resources earnestly studied and implemented the strategic deployment of the Twentieth National Congress of the Communist Party of China on accelerating the construction of a maritime power, actively planned to open a new situation, and accelerated the implementation of the new deployment, There are mainly four aspects: firstly, promoting high-quality development of the marine economy. In 2022, the gross domestic product (GDP) of China's oceans was 9462.8 billion yuan, accounting for 7.8% of the total domestic product. Among them, the emerging marine industries have maintained a rapid growth trend, with new orders and handheld orders in the marine equipment manufacturing industry increasing by 175.9% and 34.6% year-on-year, respectively. The offshore wind power generation increased by 116.2% year-on-year, and China's first megawatt level tidal power unit has achieved grid connected power generation, further expanding the scale of seawater desalination projects. The second is to strengthen the protection and utilization of marine resources. Since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Ministry of Natural Resources has adhered to strict control over sea reclamation, strengthened the protection of uninhabited islands, strictly adhered to the bottom line of mainland natural coastline retention rate, and continuously optimized the pattern of marine space protection and development. From January to May 2023, 10 suspected illegal land reclamation sites, approximately 2.19 hectares, and 4 suspected illegal island use sites, approximately 0.81 hectares, were discovered and stopped nationwide. At the same time, while strictly adhering to the bottom line of marine ecological security, efforts will be made to ensure the use of islands for major national projects and livelihood projects. The third is to enhance ocean monitoring and early warning capabilities. The Ministry of Natural Resources has continued to promote the National Global Ocean Stereoscopic Observation Network Project, forming a "land, sea, air and space" integrated observation system integrating Oceano station network, radar network, buoy network, seabed observation network, volunteer ship, cross-sectional survey, satellite remote sensing, etc. We have implemented the "chip" project for ocean forecasting and made significant progress in independent innovation. The "Mazu" series of ocean warning and reporting models have achieved commercial operation, and China has complete independent intellectual property rights. The fourth is to deeply participate in global ocean governance. The Ministry of Natural Resources actively develops the Blue Partnership, promotes the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, constructively participates in the "International Agreement on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity in Marine Areas beyond National Jurisdiction" under the United Nations framework, as well as consultations on maritime rules such as international regulations for the development of mineral resources in seabed areas, and takes the lead in participating in the United Nations "Decade of Marine Science for Sustainable Development" initiative, The initiative launched the "Discovery Program of Deep Sea Habitat", which was approved by the United Nations as a major scientific plan of the "Ocean Decade" to promote the conservation and sustainable use of deep-sea biodiversity, and strive to implement the concept of building a community of shared future for mankind in the oceans.
