Abstract:The Chinese basic legal system of environmental protection and management in fishery waters was preliminarily formed in 1980s, which has been adjusted and strengthened since 1990s. On the basis of the integrated waters environmental protection and management system, the Chinese basic legal system of environmental protection and management in fishery waters preliminarily formed fishery waters environmental monitoring and evaluation system, fishery waters quality standard system, systems on inquiry, settlement and compensation on fishery pollution accidents, specialized system on injury prevention, remedy and compensation of ecological environment in fishery waters. The construction of legal system has gained achievement, but there are still some problems: (1)Matching regulations on relevant basic legal rules of Marine Environmental Protection Law, Water Pollution Prevention Law and Fisheries Law are imperfect, which leads to the legal system poor enforceability. (2) Part of critical laws are undefined, which has some difficulties on enforcement or is unable to enforce. (3) The current legal system failed to enforce strictly. (4)Some of the critical legal systems are imperfect. Suggestions: Make integrated special legislation on fishery waters environmental protection and management. Modify or reformulate rules and regulations for implementation on Fisheries Law and Water Pollution Prevention Law. Implement current legal system strictly. Take an active part in developing the system and mechanism on environmental protection and monitoring of fishery waters.
