This Fourteenth Five Year Plan for Marine Ecological Environment Protection is a sectoral plan at the national level covering the period of 2021-2025. The overall objectives of the Fourteenth Five Year Plan include: By 2025, continuous and stable improvement of marine environment quality, effective improvement in marine ecological protection and restoration, fundamental containment of marine ecological degradation trend, comprehensive protection and restoration of damaged and degraded important marine ecosystems, effective protection of marine biodiversity, constant improvement of the governance capacity of marine ecological environment. The Plan has proposed relevant work to be done during the 14th Five Year Plan period from five aspects: firstly, to strengthen precise pollution control, focusing on coastal bays and estuaries, implementing land and sea pollution source control by zoning and classification, deepening the battle for comprehensive control of key sea areas, and continuously improving the environmental quality of coastal waters through land and sea coordination; The second is to promote both protection and restoration, adhere to the concept of integrated protection and restoration of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand, pay more attention to overall protection and systematic restoration, focus on building a marine biodiversity protection network, restore and restore typical marine ecosystems, strengthen marine ecological monitoring and supervision, and improve the quality and stability of marine ecosystems; The third is to effectively respond to sudden marine environmental events and ecological disasters, strengthen the prevention of the source of marine environmental risks, comprehensively identify major marine environmental risk sources, build a segmented and classified marine environmental risk prevention and control system, and strengthen the construction of emergency response capabilities; The fourth is to adhere to comprehensive governance, systematically plan and promote the comprehensive management of the ecological environment in the bays, and effectively solve prominent marine ecological environment problems that are strongly reflected by the people; The fifth is to coordinate the promotion of climate change response and marine ecological environment protection, carry out monitoring and assessment of marine carbon sources and sinks, promote response monitoring and assessment of marine response to climate change, effectively play the role of marine carbon sequestration, and enhance the resilience of marine adaptation to climate change. In order to effectively support the work of pollution control, ecological protection, and addressing climate change mentioned above, the Plan also identified the key tasks and guarantee measures: 1. to improve the laws, regulations, and responsibility system for marine ecological environment protection, strengthen the construction of the marine ecological environment regulatory system and regulatory capacity, establish and improve coordinated and efficient marine ecological environment governance system; 2. to promote international cooperation in marine ecological environment protection, effectively fulfill international conventions on marine ecological environment protection, and actively participate in global marine ecological environment governance; 3. to set up guarantee measures such as increasing investment guarantee, strict supervision and assessment, and strengthening publicity and guidance; etc.
