In the past for a long time, with the increase of land-sourced pollutants the mass, including the large-area pollution incidents such as oil spills at sea amid higher costs and increase the penalties for acts of pollution of the marine environment of proposals there.

In 2014, Xing Kezhi at the time attending the Tianjin agricultural college Dean made clear that marine pollution from the existing low costs than in other countries. In 2008, after implementation of the pollution prevention and control law, the overweight should pay sewage charges and sewage 2 to 5 times the amount of the fine, and no Cap. Marine environment protection law remain in fine of 20,000 to 100,000 yuan level. "The huge differences in the formation of environmental law on administrative punishments, there will be tilted to the sea, resulting in the steady deterioration in the quality of the marine environment. "In addition, Xing Kezhi also pointed out that current laws and regulations focusing on industrial pollution prevention, pollution prevention, life in the River into the sea pollution, aquaculture as well as contamination of regulations is weak, even blank. Marine ecology and biodiversity protection provisions are not operable. Especially for marine ecological damage and compensation legislation gaps, resulting in some new marine eco-environment problems solve.

For serious breach of marine environmental protection regulations, but do not constitute a crime, administrative detention responsibilities can be set.

In addition, according to the people's Congress news network, the additional draft amendments to the new environmental protection law system interface. The emphasis on total discharge of major pollutants exceeds waters or waters that are not complete marine environmental protection goals and tasks, limited approval of implementation of environmental impact assessment; increasing to establish a sound compensation system for marine ecological protection, ecological protection should be strictly observed and the exploitation and utilization of marine resources provisions of the red line.
