Abstract
Based on the current complex development context of continuously intensifying coastal industrial production and offshore petroleum exploration and development activities, as well as the expanding deployment of diverse emerging marine industries toward offshore and deep-sea areas, this paper systematically analyzes the prominent challenges and drawbacks in the implementation of marine ecological and environmental zoning management and control in Bohai Bay. Four core issues are emphasized in this research: first, spatial fragmentation and coordination challenges in regulatory governance across administrative boundaries; second, the lack of precise alignment between the functional positioning of management units and corresponding regulatory requirements; third, insufficient scientific robustness in the dynamic adjustment mechanism for management units and inadequate coordination in land-sea integration; and fourth, institutional gaps in the integrated regulatory system for nearshore and deepsea deep-sea areas tailored to emerging marine industries. Targeted optimization suggestions are proposed in response to these problems. This work aims to establish a marine ecological-environmental zoning management technical system featuring improved regional synergy, scientifically delineated management units and enhanced implementation efficiency. It provides technical support and theoretical references for continuously advancing comprehensive Bohai Sea governance, deepening land-sea integration and collaborative governance, and facilitating marine ecological construction for the Beautiful China initiative during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
