China News Agency, Beijing, August 5 (Reporter Ruan Yulin) The General Office of the Ministry of Natural Resources of China announced on the 5th that it is necessary to build a business ecosystem focusing on coastal waters, covering waters under China's jurisdiction, radiating polar regions, and deep-sea key focus areas. Early warning monitoring system.
Strengthen the early warning and monitoring of marine ecological disasters to find out the background of China's marine ecology.
Under the dual pressures of human activities and climate change, the current overall situation of China's marine ecological security is not optimistic.
Coastal areas are significantly disturbed by high-intensity development, with a large stock of marine ecological problems, prominent problems such as marine ecosystem degradation and reduction of biodiversity, the total amount of pollutants entering the sea is still large, and ecological protection tasks are still complex and arduous.
The notice pointed out that in the face of the new development stage, the top-level design of marine ecological early warning and monitoring work urgently needs to be strengthened, institutional mechanisms need to be improved, and business capabilities still need to be further improved.
Natural resources (ocean) authorities at all levels must comprehensively strengthen marine ecological early warning and monitoring work to provide strong support for maintaining the natural ecological security boundary.
The notice pointed out that it is necessary to accurately grasp the needs of natural resource management in the new era, build a marine ecological early warning and monitoring business system with the division of labor between the central and local governments, and implement efficient marine ecological investigation, monitoring, evaluation, and early warning, and gradually grasp the national marine ecological background. Analyze and evaluate the damage status and change trends, early warning of ecological problems and potential risks, and put forward protective measures.
The notice requires that the main tasks of marine ecological early warning and monitoring work be clarified, and the background of China's marine ecology should be found out.
Carry out marine ecological trend monitoring and baseline surveys, and grasp the types of offshore ecology and the distribution and basic characteristics of protection targets.
Track the trend of changes in marine ecology.
Implement marine carbon sink monitoring and evaluation.
Implement polar deep-sea ecological monitoring.
The Ministry of Natural Resources requires that early warning and monitoring of marine ecological disasters be strengthened.
It is necessary to continue to do a good job in the early warning and monitoring of ecological disasters such as red tides and green tides, and expand the monitoring of potential ecological risks such as sargassum and jellyfish outbreaks and ocean hypoxia, acidification, and microplastics.
