In recent years, the surging power of the marine economy has become the "blue engine" driving high-quality development. The latest data from the Ministry of Natural Resources shows that by 2025, the total value of China's marine production will reach 1.118 trillion yuan, an increase of 5.5% over the previous year, accounting for 7.9% of the country's gross domestic product, which is 0.1 percentage points higher than the previous year. From the perspective of the three industrial structures, the added value of the marine primary industry is 492.3 billion yuan, the added value of the secondary industry is 4101.7 billion yuan, and the added value of the tertiary industry is 642.4 billion yuan, accounting for 4.5%, 37.2%, and 58.3% of the total marine production value, respectively. Experts say that technology promotes the development of the sea, industry strengthens the sea, industry upgrades build a solid foundation for development, and technological innovation activates blue momentum. Relying on China's abundant marine resources and strong technological innovation capabilities, advancing into the deep sea and expanding into the ocean has become a new trend in China's marine economy, continuously promoting the upgrading of the blue industry. In the Yantai High tech Zone on the coast of the Yellow Sea, the "blue granary" is becoming increasingly abundant. On the blue sea surface, the extensive farming model that used to rely on the sky for food has been replaced by modern marine ranches full of technological standards. The pace of technological innovation is accelerating day by day, and large-scale intelligent net cage platforms have achieved full process digital management from fish fry entering the box to adult fish catching through linkage with technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence. Technology empowerment not only expands the scope of marine aquaculture to deep and distant seas, but also enables efficient and stable transportation of live fish, injecting a continuous stream of "blue power" into economic development. In Qingdao Blue Valley, dozens of research institutions and hundreds of high-level talents gather here, and scientific and technological innovation achievements are competing to emerge. The first independently designed and integrated manned submersible in China, the Jiaolong, continues to expand its deep-sea survey range; The "Haiyan" underwater glider has broken the world record for 10000 meter deep diving; The world's first 150000 ton intelligent breeding factory ship "Guoxin No. 1 2-1" realizes the full process mechanization and intelligent control of core production links, and moves the industrial production mode to the vast ocean... The landing and application of these "major powers" not only demonstrate China's hard core strength in deep-sea technology, but also transform the scientific and technological innovation achievements in the laboratory into real productivity. Rising towards the sea and striving for strength, the blue industry continues to grow. Modern ocean cities seize opportunities, based on their own characteristics, and actively build new highlands for the development of the ocean economy. In Xiagong Town, Lianjiang, Fujian Province, the local area has fully utilized idle seaweed processing old factories, introduced multiple aquatic processing enterprises, built abalone sorting centers, and promoted the agglomeration and development of enterprises. This not only revitalizes idle assets, but also forms a virtuous cycle of "processing with aquaculture, secondary industry feeding back primary industry", and significantly improves the living standards of residents; In the Tieshan Port operation area in Guangxi, the local area has connected to the "Intelligent Bulk Cargo Handling System", which continuously improves the average operating efficiency of ships, optimizes port service efficiency, significantly shortens the time for ledger production, and significantly improves customer satisfaction... The sea breeze blows and the waves surge. The vigorous development of China's marine economy cannot be separated from active practices in various regions. The three major marine economic circles in the north, east, and south continue to expand their capacity, jointly supporting a trillion level total marine economy. From shipbuilding in the north to tropical fishing grounds in the south, from offshore ports and docks to offshore oil and gas platforms, from shallow sea aquaculture to deep sea exploration, China's marine economy continues to expand, and the blue sea area is becoming a vibrant and promising new space for high-quality development. Intelligent robots explore the deep sea, new energy ships carry heavier loads, port routes weave a dense network, and fresh seafood benefits millions... The ocean is the cradle of life, a treasure trove of resources, and a fertile ground for development. China's goal of accelerating the construction of a maritime power is becoming increasingly clear. In the next stage, the Ministry of Natural Resources will pay more attention to innovation driven and efficient collaboration, industrial renewal, harmonious sea of people, and win-win cooperation. Through scientific planning and concerted efforts, we will promote new breakthroughs in China's marine economy on the path of high-quality development and help achieve new results in building a maritime power. ”The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Natural Resources stated.
