Research on the marine science and technology innovation efficiency (MSTE) from the perspective of innovation value chain is not only an inevitable requirement for in-depth exploration of Marine science and technology innovation activities, but also an important guidance for the sustainable development and optimization of marine economy. Based on the innovation value chain perspective, the marine science and technology innovation process is divided into three phases: basic innovation, applied research and development, and gainful transformation, and the chain network DEA model is used to measure the MSTE of 11 provinces and municipalities along the coast of China from 2007 to 2021; the modified gravity model and social network analysis are used to examine the spatial correlation network characteristics of the marine MSTE at different phases and their influencing factors. The results show that the spatial correlation of China marine MSTE gradually develops from a sparse and dispersed state to a close trend, and the three phases gradually show a development pattern from unicentre, polycentre and networked. There is no strict hierarchical structure in the spatial correlation network of marine MSTE, the applied research and development and revenue transformation phases are more relevant than the basic innovation phase, and the cross-regional collaborative innovation needs to be improved. The high-efficiency provinces have a strong ability to radiate the MSTE to other provinces, and can absorb a large amount of innovation resources. The spatial correlation network of MSTE development has formed four plates of two-way spillover, broker, net spillover and net benefit in all three phases, and the transmission of kinetic energy of regional MSTE development has obvious gradient characteristics. The strength of government support, marine industry structure, and marine management services are conducive to enhancing the spatial correlation of the three phases of innovation development. Through this study, we can not only grasp the overall pattern and development dynamics of China Marine science and technology innovation, but also deeply analyze the internal logic and formation mechanism of its spatial correlation network structure, so as to provide scientific basis for optimizing resource allocation and improving innovation efficiency.

The extreme marine weather is a very vital factor and has important implications for of marine economic development. However, there is a lack of systematic and quantitative analyses of its impact on the marine economic development. Here, we study the impacts of extreme marine weather on marine economic development of 11 coastal regions in China, using the dynamic panel model. We found that extreme marine weather exerts a significant negative impact on the marine economic development. The marine scientific and technological innovation promotes marine economic development in a prominent manner. The marine scientific and technological innovation slows down the unfavorable impact of extreme marine weather on the marine economy. After considering different industries for marine economic development and heterogeneity, we found that extreme marine weather and marine scientific and technological innovation have a great impact on marine economic development in the tertiary industry and the areas with high development concerning marine economy level, while deliver a small impact on the marine economic development in the primary industry and the areas low development level. This paper empirically studies the relationship between the two variables of marine extreme weather and marine science and technology innovation and its impact on marine economic development, enriches the research perspective of extreme weather on marine economic development, and provides new method evidence for improving the level of marine scientific and technological innovation and promoting the development of marine economy.

Chen, Z. and Ma, L., 2020. Research on spatial pattern and spatial effect of marine science and technology innovation efficiency in china's coastal provinces. In: Bai, X. and Zhou, H. (eds.), Advances in Water Resources, Environmental Protection, and Sustainable Development. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 115, pp. 42-45. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.The intensity of interaction between China's marine economy and marine science and technology is not symmetrical and there are regional differences. The development of marine economy promotes the progress of marine science and technology. Under the strategic background of “marine power”, marine economy plays an increasingly important role in the national economy. Ecological efficiency takes into account the ecological and economic benefits of economic activities. It requires that the intensity of environmental impact and resource utilization be adapted to the level of the earth's carrying capacity. It is a concentrated expression of the goal of sustainable development. The spatial spillover degree of energy ecological efficiency in a certain area is stronger than that of error impact in the adjacent area. There are positive spatial correlation and spatial agglomeration phenomena in marine economic efficiency of coastal areas. The spatial correlation patterns of different areas have no obvious difference. There is obvious spatial spillover effect under the influence of geographical distance. Therefore, improving the efficiency of marine science and technology innovation is of great significance for accelerating the construction of a powerful marine country and a powerful scientific and technological country.

In: Zheng, C.W.; Wang, Q.; Zhan, C., and Yang, S.B. (eds.), Air-Sea Interaction and Coastal Environments of the Maritime and Polar Silk Roads. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 99, pp. 419–427. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.The development of modern marine ecological economy relies heavily on scientific and technological progress. The level of development of marine scientific and technological innovation capabilities can to some extent reflect the level of marine ecological economic development in a certain region and future innovation directions and space. Fujian Province is selected as the research object to construct an evaluation index system for marine technological innovation capabilities and marine ecological economic development. Based on the sample of Fujian marine technological innovation capabilities and marine ecological economic data from 2007 to 2016, a coupling model is established to calculate the coupling coordinated development status and changing trend of marine technological innovation ability and ecological economy. The results show that the coordination of marine technological innovation and marine ecological economic development in Fujian has gradually improved in the past decade, marine technological innovation provides growth momentum for marine ecological economic development, marine ecological economic development provides basic guarantee for marine technological innovation. Through the joint development of the two, the coordination degree of the two is improved, and the healthy and sustainable development of marine economy is promoted.

In this study, the green development of marine economy driven by marine scientific and technological innovation is empirically studied and the influencing factors are analyzed. The results show that the development of marine science and technology is significantly positively correlated with the green development of marine economy as a whole, and each input variable has a promoting effect on economic development, but with varied degree of effect. The analysis on the growth models of “Circum-Bohai Sea Economic Zone,” “Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone” and “Pearl River Delta Economic Zone” shows that at present, science and technology in each marine economic zone play an obvious role in promoting economic development, and each input variable plays a different role in promoting the green development of regional marine economy. With the help of threshold panel model, the influences of five factors, namely opening to the outside world, government investment, financial development, human capital and technology investment, on the green development of marine economy driven by marine scientific and technological innovation are investigated, and it is concluded that all kinds of external influencing factors will interfere with the role of marine scientific and technological innovation and achieve the effect of promoting or restricting it.
