Review on the Legal Issues of Marine Ecological Space Use Control

Abstract

Since the maritime power strategy was put forward in the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the ocean has gradually become the focus of attention, and the contradiction between the use of the sea and marine ecological problems were also emerging. Ocean, being an available space as important as land, has great space utilization value. With the development of science and technology and the continuous updating of research theory, the exploration of this space will be continuously upgraded, and the state of marine ecological space will be the key factor to determine whether the sustainable utilization of the ocean can be realized. Ecological civilization construction and land space use control have been upgraded to the national strategic level, and how to balance the relationship between sea use and marine protection needs to be paid more attention. This paper sorted out the related concepts of marine ecological space use control, the practical level of marine space planning, the policy and legal basis of marine ecological space use control from both domestic and foreign aspects, and put forward the problems existing in China′s marine ecological space use control, Finally, aiming at the problems, this paper put forward some research suggestions, such as determining the connotation of marine ecological space use control, accelerating the formulation of marine basic law, improving the marine legal system, improving the public participation mechanism, establishing the conflict coordination mechanism of administrative functions, strengthening supervision and so on.
