Liu Dejun, spokesman for the China Maritime Police Bureau, said that in 2023, on the basis of strengthening normal law enforcement inspection, the China Maritime Police Bureau, in conjunction with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Ecological Environment, and the State Forestry and grassland Administration, deployed to carry out the "Blue Sea 2023" special law enforcement action, through the implementation of the "Green Shield" nature reserve to strengthen supervision, strengthen the rectification of outstanding problems of marine pollution and ecological destruction, and concentrate superior resources. We will make every effort to crack down on illegal and criminal activities and strictly enforce the law and supervise services. In the whole year, more than 3600 marine construction projects were inspected, more than 690 dumping sites and waste projects were inspected, more than 1300 marine nature reserves were inspected, 95 cases of illegal dumping and 33 cases of suspected destruction of public communication facilities were investigated.

It is worth noting that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment began to organize the third baseline survey of marine pollution last year. Through the implementation of the three-base survey, we can fully grasp the content and distribution of all kinds of pollutants in China's marine environment, the sources of pollution and the impact of ecological environment.

In this regard, Zhang Zhifeng said that by 2025, he plans to complete various tasks of the national and local three-base survey, basically find out the "family background" of China's marine ecological environment in the new era, and scientifically determine the baseline and starting point for the construction of Beautiful China in the field of marine ecological environment on the new journey, so as to provide strong support for the current and future marine ecological environment protection and supervision work.
