    【Hot attention from Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] "Oil leakage, illegal mining of sea sand, marine dumping, illegal fishing, disordered sewage discharge, illegal aquaculture, illegal island construction.
    .
    .
    At present, China’s marine ecosystem is carrying Double pollution and development pressure from land and sea.

     
    Hot attention of Chemical Machinery Equipment NetworkChemical machinery and equipment
    All along, my country has continuously increased the control of marine pollution, and has successively promulgated and formulated the "Marine Environmental Protection Law", "Water Pollution Prevention Law", "Solid Waste Pollution Prevention Law", "Marine Dumping Management Regulations", and "Prevention and Control of Land-Source Pollutant Pollution".
    More than 20 supporting regulations including the Regulations on the Management of Damage to the Marine Environment, and the establishment of a marine ecological red line system.

     

    As the first battle of pollution prevention and control in the marine field, pollution control in the Bohai Sea reflects my country's achievements in marine pollution control in the past two years.
    It was pointed out at a recent * press conference that the 10 nationally controlled sections of rivers entering the sea that were included in the "Defective Action" from January to August 2020 will eliminate the inferior category V, and the inspection of sewage outlets into the sea has achieved "exhaustive investigation".
    The restored coastal wetland covers an area of ​​more than 3,300 hectares, providing experience for the “deteriorating action” of the co-governance of rivers and seas carried out by the prevention and control of marine pollution, the investigation and remediation of sewage outlets into the sea, and the strict management and control of sea reclamation.

     

    In the prevention and control of marine pollution, the issue of plastic pollution has attracted more attention.
    Data shows that plastic waste accounts for about 80% of marine waste.
    8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year.
    In response to this, my country has carried out a series of work in the aspects of prevention and control at the source, alternative use, strengthening of recycling, and carrying out clean-up to treat marine garbage and microplastics.

     

    Another thing worth noting is the pollution of the surrounding water environment caused by ships in the process of navigating, berthing ports, and loading and unloading goods.
    The main pollutants are oily sewage, domestic sewage, and ship garbage.
    In response to this defense, the "Administrative Measures for the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution by Inland Vessels Under 400 Gross Tonnage" recently issued by my country will be implemented on October 1, 2020.

     

    The treatment of marine pollution is a major project and a protracted battle.
    In this major project and a protracted battle, the nation's * layout is needed.
    Industry insiders pointed out that marine pollution is far from inland and relatively hidden, coupled with the intricacies of polluters, the difficulty of discovery and treatment is not small.
    In addition, the coordinated governance mechanism between relevant departments of my country's marine protection public interest litigation cases has not yet been perfected, and the ability to carry out marine ecological pollution prevention and control across regions and regions still needs to be strengthened.

     

    In recent years, my country has also made breakthroughs one by one in response to these difficult issues.

     

    Regarding the problem of difficult discovery of marine pollution, industry insiders suggest that a social supervision system for the use and management of sea areas should be established to broaden the sources of clues and find out and sort out clues in depth.

     

    In addition, coastal prosecutors are focusing on the prevention and control of pollution of rivers entering the sea to strengthen cross-regional cooperation.
    Focusing on the 7 major waters and tributaries of the Xijiang, Lianjiang, Hanjiang, Pearl River Estuary, Dongjiang, Qiongzhou Strait, and Beibu Gulf, Guangdong has jointly established 14 three-level procuratorial coordination mechanisms at the provincial, municipal and county levels in conjunction with the procuratorial organs of the 6 surrounding provinces.

     

      In terms of monitoring, my country has established a coastal pollution monitoring network, and used ships, airplanes, and remote sensing technologies to monitor, monitor, evaluate, report, and enforce the management of the coastal marine environment, so that the monitoring and protection of the marine environment can reach To a new level.

     

      According to the relevant person in charge, my country has started the preparation of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Marine Ecological Environmental Protection", and is conducting research in 52 coastal cities under the jurisdiction of 11 coastal provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), striving to compile Develop a plan of "effective, easy to use, and problem-solving".

     

      With this promotion, my country's marine pollution control will make a qualitative leap in marine pollution control, let us wait and see.
