Research on Three-Dimensional Multilayer Usufruct of Sea Areas and Associated Management System
Abstract
With the continuous development of social economy and the rapid progress in science and technology, the three-dimensional multilayer usufruct of sea areas has become an effective way to fulfil the increasing marine usage activities in China. However, this pattern has put forward higher demands for the spatial scope definition and ownership management of sea areas. This paper analyzed the connotation, basic principles and consideration factors of multilayer usufruct of sea areas based on the nature of stratification in three-dimensional space of sea areas, and the difficulties in the development and utilization of three-dimensional space of sea areas and the design of the associated management system were comprehensively discussed. Research results showed that the sea area space could be divided into five parts: above the water surface, water surface, water body, seabed and subsoil. The three-dimensional multilayer usufruct of sea areas was the process of confirming the right to use the specific sea space occupied by specific functional purposes in the multi-level use of the same sea area. A legal system of three-dimensional property rights in sea space should be constructed and improved to ensure the implementation of three-dimensional multilayer usufruct of sea areas.
