A Study On The Development Mode Of Chinese Ocean Island Economy And Its Implementation

The ocean islands are playing an important role in the modernization of ourcountry because of their special locations,rich resources and advantageousenvironment,and close relationships with the developed coastal areas.As animportant component of the ocean ecological system,with their abundant resources,the ocean islands are not only a natural base for the development of the Chinese seasbut also a frontier for the advancement of our national economy and a bridge for theinland movement of overseas economy.Ever since the establishment of the strategicpolicy of ocean development and adopting the ocean economy as a new growth pointof the national economy,the strategic position of the ocean island has become moreprominent.In recent years,the governments as various levels attach importance to thedevelopment of the ocean islands,as a result,great progress has been achieved.Because of their advantageous resources and geographical locations,the ocean islandsare increasingly outstanding in our ocean economy development and have become aninternal driving force in the development of our ocean economy.The industrialstructure of our islands has been improved continuously and a kind of"three,two,one"industrial structure has formed.The ever-growing of new ocean scientific andtechnological industries has provides new opportunities for the development of ourisland economy.With the settlement of the new industries such as wind-poweredelectricity generation and seawater desalinity on the islands,the development ofisland economic industrial chain is deepening,changing the traditional industrialstructure,providing new opportunities for the transformation of the economy mode ofthe islands.Based on their resource conditions and development characteristics,theislands have worked out special development strategies that have become newhighlights in our island economic development.Presently,legislation for islanddevelopment is progressing intensely,this,plus the island administrative regulationsissued previously,is sure to become the guarantee in regulating the island economicdevelopment,so that the development will be more orderly and healthy.The theory of ocean island economic development is ripening with each passingday.Sustainable and harmonious development guided by the principle of scientificdevelopment has become an important theoretical pillar in guiding the economic development of our ocean island.Many Chinese scholars have elaborated on relatedtheories from different angles,and proposed concrete practical measures on the basisof practice.Eco-economic theory is no doubt another important theory for theeconomic development of Chinese ocean islands.Ocean islands are obvious in theirecological system characteristics.Compared with that on land,the environmentprotection of ocean islands is more important and has become a principle that must beobserved.With the development of the theory of regional economy and theappearance of the theory that the ocean and land should be considered as a whole,theharmonious development of the ocean and land has become a focus.Island and inlandregions are quite different,therefore a development mode suitable for inlanddevelopment may not be suitable for island.During the development of our ocean island economy,many regions have madebeneficial investigations on the mode development and gained valuable experience.Comparing the practice of different islands and refining them theoretically canprovide reference for the selection of ocean island economy development mode.Different theories have different contents for guiding the development ofeconomy and the approaches to their realization are also different.The aim ofsustainable development is development with sustainability as its prereguisite:notonly today's but also future generation's development should be considered,during itsdevelopment one has to pay attention to the sustainable development and applicationof resources,the modification of growth patterns,the adjustment of industrialstructures ect.According to eco-economic theory,the characteristic of ocean islandecological system should be taken into account during the economic development ofocean island.The most important aspect is environment protection,which requires theimplementation of green projects,the development of eco-fisheries,the establishmentof ocean island eco-protection zones and ecological environmental protectionindustries etc.Through the formulation of regional policies,unified planning andindustrious cooperation among regions,coordinated and balanced development can beachieved.For a better and faster development of the ocean island economy,policy supportfrom the national and local governments is indispensable;in addition,thegovernments ought to make efforts to establish various favorable measures,strengthen the construction of ocean island infrastructure and train people of talent.
