The South China Sea, one of the world's busiest maritime trade routes, has faced significant environmental challenges. Issues such as oil pollution, marine debris, coastal development, and commercial overfishing have severely damaged its marine ecosystem, diminishing the environment's carrying capacity.
In response, the Chinese government has implemented a series of measures aimed at protecting the marine ecological environment of the South China Sea. These efforts include increasing research on marine pollution, enforcing stricter controls, maintaining ecosystem stability, and promoting the restoration of marine life.
