B[National Development and Reform Commission: By 2030, China’s gross marine product is expected to exceed 13 trillion yuan] On November 3, the National Development and Reform Commission held a series of press conferences for the “15th Five-Year Plan” to introduce the cultivation and growth of new driving forces. Ma Weichen, deputy director of the Regional Coordinated Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period for China to move from a maritime country to a maritime power. We will continue to make efforts in three aspects: new technology, new industries, and new spaces to solidly promote the high-quality development of the marine economy. In terms of new industries, on the one hand, we will continue to consolidate the fundamentals of advantageous marine industries, consolidate and improve the marine equipment manufacturing industry, enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of marine transportation, and promote the high-quality development of marine fisheries; on the other hand, we will accelerate the expansion of new opportunities in the marine economy and vigorously cultivate new industries and new formats such as marine biomedicine, marine new materials, and marine electronic information. By 2030, China's gross marine product is expected to exceed 13 trillion yuan. B[China-led international standard for commissioning and testing of ship ballast water management systems released] October 9th, reporters learned today that the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recently released the international standard "Ship and Marine Technology - Commissioning and Testing Procedures for Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS) Electrolysis Ballast Water Management Systems". The standard is led by China and participated by experts from the United States, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark and other countries. Alien organisms carried by ships' ballast water are one of the important ways for marine organisms to invade, seriously threatening the safety of marine ecology. The ballast water management system is the key equipment to kill these invading organisms. Its killing effect depends on the design performance of the product itself and the level of on-site debugging after installation. This standard specifies the technical requirements for debugging and testing of electrolytic ballast water management systems, stipulating that the system operation time should be no less than 60 minutes, the discharge sampling volume should be no less than 1 cubic meter, and two types of organisms larger than or equal to 50 microns and 10 microns to 50 microns must be verified to meet the standards to ensure compliance with international convention emission standards and provide unified and scientific debugging and testing procedures and acceptance basis for ballast water management systems for global shipowners, shipyards, equipment manufacturers and industry authorities. So far, China has taken the lead in formulating three international standards related to ballast water management systems, covering key aspects such as system design and commissioning. They play an important role in curbing the spread of harmful aquatic organisms across sea areas through ballast water and contribute to the protection of the global marine ecological environment. (CCTV News) B[By 2030, the country’s gross marine product will exceed 13 trillion yuan] On September 22, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences with the theme of "Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan" to introduce the situation of promoting the safe, efficient and sustainable use of natural resources. The relevant person in charge said that the new marine productivity has broad prospects and will strengthen the development, utilization and protection of the ocean and promote the high-quality development of the ocean economy. It is expected that by 2030, the country's gross marine product will exceed 13 trillion yuan, and the radiation driving capacity and development and opening level of the northern, eastern, and southern marine economic circles will be further improved. In addition, it is expected that by 2030, the added value of China's marine biopharmaceutical industry will exceed 130 billion yuan, an increase of 30% from 2025; offshore wind power installed capacity will double to 100 million kilowatts. B[The Ministry of Natural Resources organizes a multi-disciplinary comprehensive geological survey in the waters of China's Huangyan Island] September 16th, in order to comprehensively understand the basic geological elements and ecological environment conditions of the waters under China's jurisdiction, the "Marine Geology No. 10" ship of the China Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources carried out a multi-disciplinary comprehensive geological survey in the waters of China's Huangyan Island from August 11 to September 8. This survey integrated multidisciplinary survey methods, using single-channel seismic, gravity and magnetic, traveling currents, temperature and salt depth, geological sampling and other methods to collect basic data such as marine hydrology, sedimentary strata, geophysical fields, as well as seawater, marine life, marine sediments, and seafloor rock samples, in order to further understand the The geological, geophysical characteristics and ecological environment status of the sea area, research on seabed sediment types, stratigraphic structure, potential geological hazards, geological structure evolution, and marine environmental quality assessment have accumulated reliable first-hand information, and also provided a scientific basis for China to carry out comprehensive management of the Huangyan Island sea area. B[Guangzhou: Promote the acceleration of the marine pharmaceutical and biological products industry] On September 14th, the General Office of the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government recently issued the "Notice of the "15th Five-Year Plan" for the Development of Guangzhou's Marine Economy". It is proposed to promote the accelerated development of the marine pharmaceutical and biological products industry. Improve the utilization level of deep-sea biological resources and build a biological gene bank and information database of medicinal sources in the South China Sea. Innovate a new paradigm of intelligent development of "AI + marine drugs", tackle core technologies for the extraction and utilization of marine biological resources such as fish oil, fish collagen, chitosan, and seaweed polysaccharides, develop carbohydrate drugs and peptide drugs, and create a "South China Sea Drug Library" with the characteristics of tropical marine biological resources. Vigorously promote the research and development of original marine drugs for diseases such as tumors and cardiovascular diseases, and promote the research and development of marine biomedical materials such as hemostasis and repair. Strengthen sea-related traditional Chinese medicines such as seahorses and seaweeds. Focus on breakthroughs in marine active substance extraction and purification technology, enzyme engineering technology, fermentation technology, etc., and accelerate the productization process of special raw materials such as seabed mud and deep water. Develop new marine foods and new raw materials for health foods, and use modern biotechnology to promote the upgrading of advantageous industries such as marine foods and cosmetics.
