Regional Environmental Synergy: Thoughts on the construction of the Bay (Beach) Chief System in the Bohai Sea Rim

Abstract

The management of the Bohai Sea's marine ecological environment is complex and long-term. As a unique weapon for China's management of the marine ecological environment, under the requirements of implementing the 14th Five-Year Plan to thoroughly fight the Battle of Bohai Sea, the construction of the Bay (Beach) Chief System is an important means of ecological environment management in the Bohai Sea Rim. In the context of coordinated regional environmental governance, the operation of the Bay (Beach) Chief System of the three provinces and one city in the Bohai Sea Rim is manifested in their governance, lack of legislative coordination, law enforcement coordination, and judicial coordination, and Multi-benefit synergy and co-governance subject. Therefore, the construction of the Bay (Beach) Chief System in the Bohai Sea Rim should focus on the improvement of coordinated legislation, coordinated law enforcement, and coordinated justice in the region. It is an important way to strengthen the participation of multiple stakeholders in the region in the governance of the marine ecological environment.
