Land-Marine Coordinated Legislative Review and Institutional Construction from the Perspective of Territorial Spatial Governance Modernization
The concept of Land-Marine Coordination is proposed as a great strategic and theoretical innovation in the background of Chinese modernization.Land-Marine Coordination focuses on the linkage and complementarity between land and marine areas,emphasizing the coordinated development of land and marine areas through unified planning.Based on the experiences of and reflections on central legislative practices,the current legislation on Land-Marine Coordination presents several problems,such as the insufficient complementarity of ecological and environmental protection,the lack of mutual benefits in the utilization of natural resources and the inadequacy of interoperability in the comprehensive management systems.The realization of Land-Marine Coordination requires the comprehensive arrangement and planning of the essential elements and spatial aspects of land and marine areas from the macro perspective of territorial spatial governance.The Territorial Spatial Planning Law and the Territorial Spatial Development and Protection Law are important institutional frameworks for realizing the goal of Land-Marine Coordination,in which the status of the basic principle of Land-Marine Coordination,the core institutional objectives,the key institutional tasks and the direction of institutional reforms should be clearly established.Relevant legislative arrangements include the design of a specialized system for the"marine territory",the establishment of a system for the development and protection of marine areas covering sea areas,islands and coastal areas,the establishment of a system for the management of key functional zones in the oceans which cover port areas,bays,ecological zones and other basic units,and the establishment of a system to promote the industrialization of the marine business in the fields of marine resources development,transportation planning and industrial arrangement.
