Organs and laws aimed at marine environmental protection have been gradually established, and the people's consciousness of the importance of protecting the marine environment and abiding by the laws have been further strengthened, both of which have speeded up the work of marine environmental protection.
As a result, the momentum of serious marine pollution has been slowed; the environmental quality of some of the country's sea areas has been improved; and most offshore waters are of good quality, despite the drastic increase in the amounts of pollutants brought about by the booming economy of the coastal areas.
The marine scientific and technological level in China is relatively low, the equipment used in marine development is backward and many development areas are still in rough shape.
Marine reserves provide the highest level of protection of the marine environment within their boundaries.
Marine mammal sanctuaries are set up under the Marine Mammals Protection Act 1978 (administered by the Department of Conservation) to protect marine mammals.
Nevertheless, marine mammal sanctuaries could contribute to the network where measures to protect against threats to a marine mammal have the effect of protecting the marine biodiversity of the habitat or ecosystem in the area.
