Politics of the Risk Management for Marine Invasive Alien Species in China: Constructing a Cooperation System

Abstract:

Invasive alien marine species threaten biodiversity, marine industries (including fishing and tourism), and human health. A brief overview is presented of the current situation and the harm caused by marine biological invasions in China, in parallel with an analysis of the current state of related Chinese regulatory and legislative systems. The major impact and complexity of marine biological invasions on the ecological environment in China has had a major impact on human health, as well as social and economic development. Consequently, the responsibilities of current domestic management, which has too many administrative departments, remain unclear. Therefore, we conclude that it is necessary to establish an international, regional, and cross-departmental cooperation and management system, to effectively resolve the problem of alien marine species invasion in China.
