Abstract
In the context of the “new normal” of China’s economic development, it is urgent to solve the contradiction between fishery development and environmental protection. To promote the construction of a modern fishery power, we must return to ecological priority. Based on this, the research used relevant data samples from various provinces during 2004–2017. The level of fishery economic development is measured using fishery added value and total fishery output value; the industrial pollution control investment and environmental pollution control investment represent the intensity of environmental control; the relationship between environmental governance and fishery economic development is explored, and the intermediary role of technological innovation is further analyzed. Empirical results show that environmental governance has a significant positive impact on fishery economic development, and this influence shows both spatial and temporal heterogeneity, regionally showing the distribution characteristic of “in the eastern region > in the central region > in the western region”, and the time series show the “strengthened influence − weakened influence” i.e., “inverted U” variations. In addition, technological innovation plays a certain intermediary role in the impact of environmental governance on fishery economic development. The research provides a theoretical basis for breaking through the bottleneck of fishery development and realizing high-quality and sustainable development.
Highlights
In March 2020, the PRC General Office of the State Council issued Guiding Opinions on the Construction of Modern Environmental Governance System, which pointed out that the concept of green development should be firmly established; the benign interactions between government governance, social adjustment and enterprise autonomy should be accomplished; the mechanism and system should be improved and the source treatment needs to be strengthened, forming a joint force in order to provide a strong institutional guarantee for the radical improvement of the ecological environment, leading to the construction of ecological civilization and a beautiful China
Based on the relevant data samples of each province from 2004 to 2017, the level of fishery economic development is measured by fishery added value and total fishery output value, the investment in industrial pollution control and the investment in environmental pollution control represent the intensity of environmental governance, the control variables related to fishery economic development are added to each column
The impact of environmental governance on fishery economic growth will be different in different regions and different periods
Summary
In March 2020, the PRC General Office of the State Council issued Guiding Opinions on the Construction of Modern Environmental Governance System, which pointed out that the concept of green development should be firmly established; the benign interactions between government governance, social adjustment and enterprise autonomy should be accomplished; the mechanism and system should be improved and the source treatment needs to be strengthened, forming a joint force in order to provide a strong institutional guarantee for the radical improvement of the ecological environment, leading to the construction of ecological civilization and a beautiful China It shows that environmental governance is of great importance for building a beautiful China and forming a modern national governance system [1]. Countries around the world are paying more and more attention to environmental governance issues, and are making continuous efforts to achieve sustainable development; at the same time, environmental issues have seriously hindered the development of fishery economy, causing the people’s growing needs for a better life to be unsatisfied. Through the analysis of the relationship between the two, this paper explains the impact mechanism of environmental governance on fishery economic growth, explains the possible intermediary role of technological innovation, fills the gap in this research field, and has certain innovative and practical value
