我国的海洋经济在空间分布上是由沿海具有海岸带、海岛与广阔海域的11个省(市、区)组成。20世纪90年代以来,中国把海洋资源开发作为国家发展战略的重要内容,把发展海洋经济作为振兴国家经济的重大举措,从而提出了到2010年形成若干个海洋经济强省的规划。建设海洋经济强省既可为我国建设小康社会,又能吸纳劳动力缓解我国的就业问题,又为我国西部开发和振兴东北老工业基地提供相关条件,使我国整体国民经济得到提升和快速发展。在研究中应用分析区域空间差异的定量方法、对各省(市、区)海洋产业以及海洋三次产业结构等的空间集聚与扩散程度进行分析,从而揭示其海洋经济形成的机制与规律,并提出了关于我国建设海洋经济强省的对策。

The spatial distribution of marine economy in China includes 11 provinces having littoral zones, islands and vast expanse of sea areas. China has taken marine resources development as an important content in the national development strategies and regarded marine economic development as a great action to revitalize the national economy since the 1990s. China has proposed the plan of forming several marine economically strong provinces by 2010,which can provide relevant conditions not only for building China into a well-to-do society, accommodating workforce, alleviating the employment problems but also for developing western regions and revitalizing old industrial base in Northeast so as to promote overall development of the national economy and quicken the pace of economic growth. In the research, some quantitiative methods and models for analysing regional space differentiations are used to analyse the spatial agglomeration and diffusion degree of marine industry and marine tertiary industrial structure of various provinces for the purpose of revealing the mechanisms and laws for the formation of the marine economy of every province. Countermeasures for building marine economically strong provinces in China are put forward.
