The condition of China's seas and coastline is further deteriorating, with experts warning that the ocean ecology system is seriously damaged and will get worse.
Up to 145,000 sq km of shallow waters along China's coast failed to
meet quality standards, and 29,000 sq km were seriously polluted,
according to a Dalian Maritime University report. The worst-affected
areas include East Liaoning, the Bohai and Hangzhou bays, and the
shores of the Yellow, Yangtze and Zhujiang rivers, plus some inshore
areas of large coastal cities.
"Over the past 20 years or so, China's marine economy has been
developing at a staggeringly rapid pace and marine resources are being
widely tapped. As a result, the condition of China's inshore
environment is deteriorating, and the ocean ecology has been seriously
damaged," state media quoted Professor Luan Weixin, of the Economics
and Management College at Dalian Maritime University.
