Stuctural Analysis And Strategic Suggestions On Guangdong's Marine Industry Development

Due to the increase of world population, the shortage of earth resource and the decrease of the land space that can be used, to explore the marine resource and develop marine economy will become the effective approaches to postpone the pressure of population, resource and environment that the world will face in 21^st century. Guangdong is a large province of marine economy with abundant marine resource, the location advantage closed to Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, powerful economy basis and large-scale marine economy strength and complete kinds of marine industry system. Guangdong has had the basis and qualification to become a strong province of marine economy.Taking the marine economy and marine industry structure as the study objects, this paper aims to discuss how Guangdong fulfills from a large province to a strong one in marine economy across mainland China. To start with, this paper first confirms the definitions of corresponding concepts of marine economy and marine industry and explains the relative theories so as to establish the theoretical basis of the whole paper. And then, three parts are followed to fully analyze marine economy and marine industry of Guangdong: firstly, the general analysis is made to introduce the present situation of Guangdong's marine economy from the aspects of marine resource, marine economy development, marine industry structure and marine economy location; secondly, from the angle of demonstration, static analysis, dynamic analysis and benefit analysis are made to analyze the marine industry structure of Guangdong, and moreover Grey Correlation Analysis is used to define the marine dominant industries and Location Quotient Analysis is used to choose the marine preponderant industries; finally, cross-province comparative analysis is made to evaluate the developing competence of Guangdong marine economy from the aspects of developing scale and speed, industry structure and status, marine technology competence as well as area difference alteration.Based on the analysis above, it is found that Guangdong has the basis and advantages in developing marine economy with abundant marine resource, powerful economy basis and prominent First-Mover Advantage. Meanwhile, Guangdong faces several problems and challenges in developing marine economy, that is, marine industry structure still needs to be upgraded, the level of marine technology is still too low, development among different areas is of imbalance, situation of marine environment and resource is worsening and the domestic competition is becoming fiercer. Thereby, suggestions are advanced on how to optimize Guangdong's marine industry structure and advance its industry competence in the new stage.
