Zusammenfassung:China faces the dual problem of transforming its economy while ensuring sustainable economic and environmental development. Hence, an unyielding demand for resources and resulting energy shortages are expected to foster restrictions on Chinese social development for some time. The impetus behind the development of marine resources has been increasing. Nevertheless, it remains difficult to meet the present resource consumption requirements. The traditional economic growth model in China, with high pollution, high consumption, and low profit, has caused significant damage to the environment (Song et al., 2013). Moreover, the low prices have meant that resources have been excessively exploited and wasted. If the exploitation and utilization of marine resources become as extensive, incontinent, and unsustainable as those of land resources, irreversible damage will occur. Presently, the exploitation and utilization of marine resources is at an early stage. Resource shortages can be overcome by enhancing the protection of marine resources and by nurturing mutual relationships.
