Abstract

This paper explores Japan's successful experience in controlling SetoNaikai and discusses the enlightenment to China's governance of Bohai Sea. In 2006, the National Development and Reform Commission launched the “Bohai Sea Environmental Protection General Plan" and also announced the failure to implement the “Bohai Sea Clean Sea Action Plan" in the past five years. Similarly, there has been similar pollution in SetoNaikai of Japan. But after 10 years of treatment, it has been quite effective. Through the research methods of international cooperation and exchange, expert interviews and literature analysis, the current situation and existing problems of governance of Bohai Sea are mastered. This paper selects SetoNaikai as the research object, compares the environment and policies between China and Japan and constructs countermeasures and mechanisms of China's environmental governance of Bohai Sea.

Highlights

In the report of the 18th National Congress of the CPC, it was the first time to explicitly propose to build a strong ocean power
The report called for “improving the development capacity of ocean resources, developing the ocean economy, protecting the marine ecological environment, and firmly safeguarding the national marine rights and interests." This is the first time that our party has made a systematic exposition of the national marine development strategy in the form of a report of the National Congress, which points out the direction for our country to introduce the national marine strategy in the future
In order to organize the implementation of various provisions of the law, SetoNaikai Environmental Protection Special Measures Law has formulated specific cross-regional implementation mechanisms, legislating, perfecting the marine management system and legal implementation mechanisms, clarifying the responsibilities of the central and local governments at all levels, performing their duties up and down, and working together to jointly strengthen marine environmental governance and protecting the marine “light, thin and short” industry

Summary

Introduction

In the report of the 18th National Congress of the CPC, it was the first time to explicitly propose to build a strong ocean power. The most obvious problem is the marine environment. Since the late 1970s, with the rapid development of the surrounding economy in recent years, the marine environment has been seriously polluted and destroyed, turning the " park" into a " sewage field", and wild fish and shrimp have almost disappeared. According to the monitoring and evaluation results for many years, the pollution scope in the nearshore area of Bohai Sea is expanding. The polluted sea areas are mainly concentrated in the coastal areas of Liaodong Bay, Bohai Bay and Laizhou Bay. The main pollutants are inorganic nitrogen, active phosphate and petroleum (state oceanic administration, 1990 - 2006). Since 2001, China has started to control the Bohai Sea problem, but it has achieved little or even worse results.
