Evaluation study on the coordination of marine resources, the environment and social economy: take Taizhou Bay as an example

Abstract

The sea is an important aspect of development in bay areas. Coordinated development of the marine resource environment and social economy is an inevitable requirement for high-quality development of the marine economy. This paper builds an index to evaluate the coordination of marine resources, environment and social economy in bay areas from four aspects: resource and environmental effects, resource utilization compliance, socio-economic development conditions, and technological investment and development status. The model is implemented for Taizhou Bay. The results show that the overall level of coordination between its marine resource environment and social economy is poor, under 0.4. The main reasons for this situation are the decline in environmental quality of bay resources, and insufficient technological investment and development. In view of the problem of uncoordinated regional development, this paper puts forward two suggestions to provide technical support for the high-quality development of Taizhou Bay: implementation of land and sea resource control, and increased investment in environmental repair technology in the bay.
