Core Viewpoint - The development of the marine economy and the protection of the marine ecological environment are interdependent and should be pursued simultaneously, with high-level protection serving as the foundation for high-quality development [1][8]. Marine Economic Growth - The marine production value in Guangxi is projected to grow from 189.9 billion yuan in 2020 to 258.09 billion yuan in 2024, representing an average annual growth rate of 8.0%. The marine production value's share of the regional GDP is expected to increase from 8.6% in 2020 to 9.0% [1]. Ecological Protection Measures - Guangxi has established strict ecological protection red lines to balance development and conservation, ensuring the protection of important marine ecological function areas and sensitive zones. This includes implementing stringent coastal management and restoration projects, which have helped protect species like the Chinese white dolphin and the Bryde's whale [3][8]. Innovation-Driven Development - The region is focusing on innovation to drive the transformation of the blue economy, promoting strategic emerging industries such as marine high-end equipment manufacturing and marine renewable energy. This includes projects like offshore wind power and the development of modern marine ranches to enhance resource recovery and reduce pollution [5][8]. Long-term Governance Mechanism - A stable and efficient long-term governance mechanism is essential for achieving a balance between high-quality development and high-level protection. Guangxi is exploring integrated governance mechanisms that include improving regulatory frameworks, establishing cross-departmental coordination, and encouraging public participation in marine protection [7][8].
