| description | A marine nature reserve is an area designated by law for the special protection and management of sea areas, coasts, estuarine wetlands, islands, and other sea areas needing special protection, including objects of exceptional conservation value. The purpose of these reserves is to protect the natural environment and natural resources of the sea. The construction of China’s marine protected areas can be traced back to establishing the Snake Island Nature Reserve in 1963. Over the past six decades, China has established a network of marine protected areas, including marine nature reserves and marine specially protected areas (including marine parks), which have played a pivotal role in safeguarding the marine environment and biodiversity, promoting the integration of land and sea, and defending the country’s maritime rights and interests. Nevertheless, the construction of China’s marine nature reserves is a challenge to solve. It is imperative to further advance the construction and development of China’s marine nature reserves by enhancing the spatial planning of marine nature areas, streamlining the management system, and delineating the rights and interests associated with using sea areas. |
