With the impact of global climate change and human activities, the marine ecosystem has suffered severe damage. In order to protect the marine environment, the National People's Congress amended the Marine Environmental Protection of the People's Republic of China for the third time on October 24, 2023, which will come into force on January 1, 2024. Zoning control of the marine environment is a key part of this. The construction of the intelligent monitoring system is based on the urgent need for marine environmental protection, and the use of modern scientific and technological means to achieve all-round, real-time monitoring and early warning of the marine environment. Through the collection and analysis of data, environmental problems can be identified and solved in a timely manner, the occurrence of environmental disasters can be prevented or mitigated, and the health and stability of marine ecosystems can be maintained.
Marine Environmental Protection** is further revised
Consolidate departmental and local responsibilities, clarify the division of responsibilities, and improve systems and mechanisms
Responsible for the quality of the marine environment in the sea area under its management" is the requirement of the new marine environment protection for coastal people. The law requires coastal people to implement a responsibility system and an assessment and evaluation system for marine environmental protection objectives, and promote the construction of marine environmental supervision and management capacity. The law adds systems for zoning and control of the ecological environment, comprehensive management of key sea areas, interviews for rectification, information sharing, credit evaluation, and sealing and seizure. At the same time, the law has improved the systems of planning, standards, monitoring, early warning, investigation, environmental impact assessment, and emergency response.
The problems of the marine environment are manifested in the sea, and the roots are on the land
The revised marine environmental protection clarifies the principle that land-sea coordination should be adhered to as marine environmental protection, and emphasizes the importance of zonal control. At the same time, it is required to strengthen the management of rivers entering the sea, strengthen the prevention and control of pollution in rivers entering the sea, make the water quality of the estuary meet the relevant requirements of the environmental quality of the estuary, continue to promote the control of total nitrogen and total phosphorus emissions into the sea, formulate control plans and organize their implementation.
Strengthen the conservation of marine biodiversity
China is one of the countries with the richest marine biodiversity in the world. The Revised Marine Environmental Conservation has strengthened the protection of marine biodiversity;The system of survey, monitoring, assessment and protection of marine biodiversity has been improved;It stipulates that the development and utilization of marine and coastal resources shall effectively protect important marine ecosystems, biological species and biological genetic resources to prevent the destruction of marine biodiversity. At the same time, scientific demonstrations should be carried out on the introduction of marine animal and plant species to avoid causing harm to the marine ecosystem.
Strict management of sea area pollutant discharge permits, and strengthen the supervision of sewage outlets into the sea
Strengthen the quality control of the marine environment, strictly manage the discharge permits in sea areas, and improve the quality of the marine environment in key sea areasIt clarifies the requirements that the entity implementing the management of pollutant discharge permit shall implement the pollutant discharge permit;The responsible entity of the sewage outlet is required to strengthen the monitoring of the sewage outlet, and carry out monitoring and automatic monitoring in accordance with the regulations;It is required to establish and improve the whole chain treatment system of near-shore water bodies, sewage outlets, sewage pipelines, and pollution sourcesIt is required to formulate specific measures for the setting and management of sewage outlets into the sea, specifications for sewage discharge into the sea, and organize the construction of a unified information platform for sewage outlets.
Introduction to the smart ecological monitoring system
The intelligent monitoring system based on marine environmental protection is a comprehensive system, which aims to realize real-time monitoring and protection of the marine environment through intelligent means. The system consists of multiple subsystems, each with its own specific function and role.
Marine water quality monitoring subsystem
The subsystem monitors water quality indicators such as pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, ammonia nitrogen, COD, etc. in real time through sensors installed in the water, and transmits the data to the data center for analysis. Once an abnormal water quality is found, the system will immediately issue an alarm so that the relevant departments can take action.
Marine meteorological monitoring subsystem
The subsystem provides data support for marine environmental management by monitoring meteorological parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and air pressure in real time through weather stations installed in marine areas.
Marine ecological monitoring subsystem
The subsystem monitors marine ecology through satellite remote sensing and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cruise, including marine biomass, species distribution, underwater topography and landform. Through the analysis of ecological data, it is possible to assess the health status of the marine ecology, ** ecological change trends.
Marine pollution monitoring subsystem
The subsystem installs monitoring equipment at the sewage outlet in the offshore area to monitor the concentration and type of pollutants discharged into the sea in real time to ensure that the discharge standards are met. Once the emission exceeds the standard, the system will immediately issue an alarm and notify the relevant departments to deal with it.
Marine Hazard Early Warning Subsystem
The subsystem uses technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data to provide early warning of marine disasters. Through the analysis of marine meteorology, hydrology and other data, the occurrence of disasters such as typhoons, tsunamis, and red tides can be improved, and early warning information can be issued in time to provide decision-making basis for relevant departments.
The importance of smart ecological monitoring systems
The ocean is one of the most important ecosystems on Earth, but with the continuous increase of human activities, the marine environment is facing increasing pressures such as pollution, overfishing, climate change, etc. The solution of these problems requires scientific data support, so the establishment of a smart monitoring system has become particularly important.
The construction of the system is based on the urgent need for marine environmental protection
The use of modern scientific and technological means to achieve all-round, real-time monitoring and early warning of the marine environment. Through the collection and analysis of data, environmental problems can be identified and solved in a timely manner, the occurrence of environmental disasters can be prevented or mitigated, and the health and stability of marine ecosystems can be maintained.
The construction of this system is an important measure to promote the construction of ecological civilization
Through the application of intelligent monitoring system, the sustainable development of the marine environment can be promoted, and the efficiency and competitiveness of the marine economy can be improved. In addition, the construction of intelligent monitoring systems can also promote the development of related industries and technologies, and provide new impetus and opportunities for economic development.
