This forum is hosted by China Pacific Society and China Ocean Engineering Consulting Association, undertaken by Weihai Ocean Development Bureau and Weihai Nanhai New Area Management Committee, and assisted by Weihai Blue Economic Research Institute. With the theme of "integrated development of marine ecology and marine economy", the forum highlights internationality, professionalism and innovation, advocates marine ecological economy and promotes the harmonious development of human and sea. Nearly 1 experts and scholars in the field of marine eco-economy from China, Britain, Sweden and other countries participated in the forum through on-site and online. The forum was hosted by Yu Xingguang, a researcher and former director of the Third Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources.
present at the opening ceremony of the forum are: Wang Bin, Director of Marine Strategic Planning and Economics Department of Ministry of Natural Resources; Li Zhenglou, Vice President and Secretary General of China Pacific Society, Director and Deputy General Manager of Ocean Publishing House Co., Ltd.; Yang Hongsheng, Executive Deputy Director of Institute of Oceanography of Chinese Academy of Sciences; Peng Wei, Deputy Director of National Ocean Technology Center of Ministry of Natural Resources; Zhang Qiufeng, Deputy Director of Fourth Institute of Oceanography of Ministry of Natural Resources; Fu Rixin, Deputy Director of Shandong Oceanic Administration. Hui Luo, Inspector of Ecological Environment Protection of Shandong Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment; Xin Rongmin, Chief of Shandong Ocean and Fisheries Supervision and Supervision Corps; Wang Shicheng, former Inspector of Shandong Ocean and Fisheries Department and consultant of Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Government; Wang Xuewen, Director of the Standing Committee of Weihai Municipal People's Congress; Gao Shuliang, Vice Mayor of Weihai Municipal People's Government. Wang Bin, Li Zhenglou, Fu Rixin, Hui Luo and Gao Shuliang made speeches.
Wang Bin emphasized that marine eco-economy organically combines the internal demand of marine economic development with the global challenge of climate change, and has broad prospects. The development of marine ecological economy needs the guidance of scientific theory and continuous deepening of practice, developing the economics of ecosystem and biodiversity, and increasing the effective supply of ecological products. We need scientific and technological innovation to guide and improve policies and regulations, explore the useful value of marine ecosystem products, and expand the physical supply and output space of ecological products. It is necessary to standardize market transactions and green financial support, transmit accurate market information and price signals, and increase credit, funds, capital markets and insurance support. It is necessary to strengthen departmental coordination and multi-party participation, establish a linkage mechanism, and form a joint force.
Fu Rixin pointed out that Shandong is a big marine province, with sea area equivalent to land area, coastline accounting for about 1/6 of the whole country, and marine resource abundance index ranking first in the country. Marine ecological economy is the integration of marine ecosystem and marine economic development, and it is a low-carbon, circular, green and sustainable economic model, which provides new ideas, new ideas and new opportunities for marine economic development.
Hui Luo pointed out that it is the right time to develop marine ecological economy, and there is much to be done. It is hoped that Weihai will, as always, persist in developing marine ecological economy, carry forward the ecological spirit, and strive to create a new highland for marine economic development.
Gao Shuliang said in his speech that Weihai was named after the sea and prospered by it. "Ocean" is the most unique gene in Weihai, and blue is the heaviest urban background color in Weihai. Weihai's total marine production accounts for 33% of the city's GDP, and it is a national demonstration city of marine economic innovation and development, a national demonstration zone of marine economic development, a pilot city of national marine high-tech industrial base and a national demonstration zone of marine ecological civilization construction. At present, Weihai is accelerating the construction of Weihai International Marine Science and Technology City and marine ecological economy, which will be an important direction for the development of Weihai's marine economy. I hope the guests will bring the cutting-edge marine eco-economic concepts and academic achievements to Weihai, bear fruitful fruits in Weihai, and support Weihai to create a marine eco-economic demonstration zone.
