A Study About The Impact Of Marine Pollution On China’s Aquatic Products Export Trade

With the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy over the 30 years, the development of China’s economy and trade has taken place in the qualitative leap. Especially, joining the WTO in 2001 has provided our domestic enterprises with more fair trade opportunities. China has become a large nation in trade, whereas the problems between trade and environment are also apparent. The rapid development of trade induced a large amount of pollution from the enterprises, which eventually flowed to the sea and caused great damage to the Marine. However, with the Marine environment pollution aggravate gradually, the negative effects of pollution on trade have become more and more serious, especially on China’s aquatic products export trade. Fortunately, the government spares no effort to protect Marine environment in recent years, and things has changed for the better. But the problem is that the momentum of marine pollution has not been curbed effectively on the whole, thus affecting the development of aquatic products trade. From this point, it has become a significant field to study the effects of marine environment pollution on China’s export of aquatic products and then put forward some valuable suggestions in government and academia.This article firstly defines the concept of Marine pollution and expounds the theory related to marine pollution and the aquatic product export, which lays a theoretical foundation for the following writing. Then this article elaborates the present situation of our country’s aquatic products export and the Marine pollution. From his part we can conclude basically that the environmental pollution impedes China’s aquatic products export. Secondly this article uses the VAR autoregressive model, functioning as a basis for the construction of the impulse response function between the pollution factors and the aquatic products export. It concludes that in the long run five kinds of Marine pollution factors has negative effects on the aquatic products export. Thirdly the article uses the grey correlation model to analyze the correlation size between the pollution factors and the export trade, concluding that all indexes of Marine pollution have strong influence on aquatic products exports. In terms of a single index, the direct emissions of pollution to the seas (such as wasted water, pollution from Marine oil and gas platforms) is the maximum correlation size, the land pollution factors (such as industrial wastewater, waste material) are the second. Compared with land pollution and sea pollution, the correlation size of red tide of aquatic products exports is small. Based on the above research, the article put forward some policies and recommendations in the end, that is, to put the sea pollution governance as the key target, combining with land pollution and taking some comprehensive method at the same time, so as to promote the development of environment and economy harmonically.
