SAILING TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY: SOCIAL CAPITAL INTERVENTIONS IN MARINE ECOLOGICAL COMPENSATION
Abstract
The construction of the marine ecological environment is a crucial facet of broader ecological initiatives. Given the fluidity and cross-regional nature of seawater, marine environmental pollution tends to exhibit a higher degree of impact compared to land-based pollution. Additionally, its propagation effect is more pronounced, underscoring the imperative for effective and targeted environmental safeguarding measures. Ecological compensation stands as a foundational pillar in our country's ecological development. As the ecological environment continues to face escalating challenges, there is a discernible upswing in the support dynamics for ecological compensation in our nation. Marine ecological compensation represents a comprehensive institutional framework that internalizes the externalities arising from marine ecological preservation. It optimizes the interest distribution paradigm between marine ecological reserves and areas benefiting from marine ecology, employing a blend of public policy tools and market mechanisms. The primary objective is the realization of ecological environmental protection and the advancement of ecological civilization construction. Ensuring and augmenting the funding sources for environmental safeguarding measures constitutes the bedrock of marine ecological compensation
