China is making significant strides in marine eco-environment protection. The infographic below details China's efforts, covering the size of protected areas with a focus on the South China Sea, specifics of the summer fishing ban and various international cooperation mechanisms in the region.

For protection and restoration, China has established marine eco-environmental red lines and protected areas. As the first country to propose and enforce these red lines, China safeguards areas with crucial environmental functions like biodiversity and coastline protection, as well as vulnerable ecosystems facing threats like coastal erosion. Taking the South China Sea as an example, supervisory agencies monitor the marine eco-environment in the Pearl River Valley and South China Sea Area. Restoration efforts prioritize key coastal wetlands in the subtropical and tropical zones of the South China Sea.
