ClearThe rule of law for marine environmental governance in maritime transport: China’s experience
This review examines China's 40-year development of marine environmental governance law for maritime transport, analyzing legislation, enforcement, and judiciary practices to explain how China has navigated the tension between domestic and international law and the competing interests of flag states and coastal states.
Impacts of the Global Plastic Treaty on the Marine Environmental Protection Law of China
This paper analyzes how the Global Plastic Treaty would affect China's Marine Environmental Protection Law, identifying alignment on pollution prevention goals but gaps in extended producer responsibility, full-lifecycle plastic governance, and enforcement mechanisms.
China’s Marine Environmental Protection Strategy in the Background of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Progress, Challenges, and Outlook
This review examines China's marine environmental protection strategy, tracing its development and analyzing how the COVID-19 pandemic affected marine pollution management. The pandemic both increased plastic waste (from masks and PPE) and disrupted environmental enforcement, creating new challenges for China's marine conservation efforts.
China's marine environmental public interest litigation: current situation, challenges, and improvement approach –analysis based on 339 cases
This study analyzed 339 marine environmental public interest litigation cases in China, examining current challenges and potential improvements in how the legal system addresses marine pollution and ecological damage. Researchers found that while the legal framework is developing, inconsistencies in case handling and enforcement remain significant barriers to effective ocean environmental protection.
Pathways and Countermeasures for Prevention and Control of New Pollutants
Researchers analyzed China's existing legislative framework for controlling emerging contaminants such as microplastics and persistent chemicals, finding that current law focuses on conventional pollutants and safety production while lacking effective governance mechanisms for new pollutants, and proposing a comprehensive legal system drawing on international models and civil liability principles.
The Value of China’s Legislation on Plastic Pollution Prevention in 2020
Researchers reviewed China's 2020 wave of plastic pollution legislation passed after a 12-year legislative gap, arguing that while the regulations arrived late, they represent a meaningful and necessary step toward controlling the country's severe plastic pollution through legally binding production and usage restrictions.
The development of ocean governance for marine environment protection: Current legal system in Taiwan
This review analyzes Taiwan's evolving ocean governance framework following the establishment of the Ocean Affairs Council in 2018, comparing its marine protection laws and policies with international approaches and providing recommendations for a proposed Marine Conservation Act.
[Toxicity Testing Organisms for Marine Ecotoxicological Research in China].
This review examines the development of marine ecotoxicology in China since the late 1970s, describing the test organisms and methods used to evaluate marine pollutant impacts — evolving from traditional contaminants like heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons to emerging pollutants including microplastics and nanomaterials.
Enhancing Marine Environmental Protection Enforcement in Taiwan: Legal and Policy Reforms in the Context of International Conventions
Despite its title referencing marine environmental protection, this paper studies Taiwan's legal and institutional framework for maritime pollution control — specifically how its laws compare to international conventions like MARPOL and UNCLOS — not microplastic pollution. It examines ship emission control, oil spill liability, and interagency coordination gaps and is not relevant to microplastics or human health.
Looking for a Chinese solution to global problems: The situation and countermeasures of marine plastic waste and microplastics pollution governance system in China
This study analyzed China's marine plastic waste and microplastic pollution governance system, examining policy frameworks across blue economy development, plastics industry reform, and public health awareness, while proposing countermeasures to curb marine pollution intensification.
International legal system: Marine pollution
This review analyzes the international legal framework governing marine pollution, examining the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and related instruments while identifying gaps and limitations in current regulations for protecting marine biodiversity and ecosystem health.
Reflections on Monitoring and Risk Assessment of Emerging Contaminants in China
This paper reviews China's evolving approach to monitoring and regulating emerging contaminants including microplastics, antibiotic resistance genes, and endocrine disruptors, describing the Ministry of Ecology's 2023 priority list.
A bibliometric review on marine ecological environment governance: Development and prospects (1990–2022)
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of 32 years of marine environmental governance research, finding a surge in publications since 2013 with growing focus on microplastic pollution in marine sediments, ecosystem restoration in protected areas, and the development of comprehensive global strategies to protect ocean health.
The marine community of shared destiny driving paradigm shift in vessel pollution governance: an integrated governance framework for sustainable ocean development
This study examines vessel pollution governance through the lens of China's Marine Community of Shared Destiny concept, proposing an integrated governance framework that extends beyond MARPOL conventions to address contemporary shipping pollution challenges under global economic integration.
Analysis of Offering a Special Marine Environmental Engineering Curriculum in Marine Majors Based on Coordinated Land and Marine Development Conception
This paper analyzes why marine environmental engineering (MEE) education is underdeveloped at Chinese universities despite growing environmental needs. Improving training in marine pollution management — including microplastics — requires better teaching materials and dedicated curricula at coastal universities.
The Transformation of Coastal Governance Pattern from Human Ecology to Political Ecology—A Case Study of Jimei Peninsula, Xiamen, China
This study examined how coastal governance on China's Jimei Peninsula shifted from human ecology to political ecology, finding that a 2002 coastal exclusion policy eroded maritime culture, disrupted local livelihoods, and caused ecological degradation.
China’s regulatory respond to plastic pollution: Trends and trajectories
Analysis of 231 plastic-related Chinese government policies from 2000 to 2021 revealed increasing regulatory attention to plastic pollution with a shift from general waste management toward specific single-use plastic restrictions after 2020. The findings highlight China moving toward more targeted plastic governance despite its large contribution to global ocean plastic.
International Water Law’s Role in Addressing the Problem of Marine Plastic Pollution: A Vital Piece in a Complex Puzzle!
This legal analysis examined the role of international water law in addressing marine plastic pollution, arguing that existing water governance frameworks have largely overlooked plastics as a water resource management problem. The author advocates for integrating plastic pollution controls into international water law instruments.
Toward ecosystem-based deep-sea governance: a review of global approaches and China’s participation
This study reviews the current state of international deep-sea governance, finding that existing frameworks are fragmented and address only a limited range of issues. The researchers evaluate China's participation in deep-sea governance and propose pathways for enhanced ecosystem-based management approaches.
Exploring Plastic-Management Policy in China: Status, Challenges and Policy Insights
Researchers reviewed China's plastic management policies and found that despite being the world's largest plastic producer, existing regulations remain insufficient, recommending strengthened extended producer responsibility and circular economy approaches to control plastic pollution.
