Abstract
On the basis of the theory of human–ocean regional systems, a marine industry classification system is established from a natural resource management perspective, the spatial response mechanism of the impact of marine industry development on ecological vulnerability is investigated, and space-optimised partitioning of the industrial layout is proposed. The case study results reveal the following: (1) Marine industries with different resource exploitation and utilisation characteristics exhibit distinct spatial layout patterns, and the change characteristics of ecological vulnerability are highly correlated with the spatial layout characteristics of different types of marine industries. (2) Changes in the organisation and structure of human–ocean regional system elements are subject to exogenous drivers, such as marine industry development, which induce responsive changes in the internal ecological environment of the system and exert differential impacts on the ecological vulnerability of regions dominated by different marine industries. (3) On the basis of the comprehensive index of the marine industry development level and the ecological vulnerability index of different grid cells, grid cells with marine industries are divided into industrial-scale control zones, eco-development coordination zones and ecological conservation priority zones, and differentiated spatial layout optimisation paths for marine industries are proposed on the basis of the characteristics of each functional division. This case study can provide insights into high-quality marine industry development and offer reference data for practice development in the study area.
期刊介绍:
Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels.
We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts.
Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
