Guangdong Sets Out Plans to Expand Its Marine Industries
Guangdong held a provincial meeting on marine industry development in Shenzhen on October 21, attended by Governor Meng Fanli.
Officials called for faster growth in Guangdong’s marine economy and a modern marine industry system with local strengths.
Plans include expanding marine fisheries, improving marine ranching and moving marine manufacturing towards higher-value production.

Officials said innovation and marine talent are key to development, while also calling for protection of the marine environment.
