It also leads the adverse changes of China's climate. In view of this, all levels of governments must enhance the management for the use of sea areas in terms of institution and policy. Currently, China's management for sea encircling and land reclamation has not been perfected, the management means have not been perfected and management effect hasn't made people satisfied. Studying foreign management experience and drafting "Sea Encircling Management Law" suitable for China's condition is necessary for enhancing China's sea encircling management; establishing an effective oceanic consultation and coordinating agency is required; the authority limit between central oceanic management and local oceanic management shall be perfected; the strict inspection shall be executed for sea area use demonstration, the sea area use demonstration operating mode shall be perfected. The public participation mechanism in sea encircling and land reclamation management shall be established and perfected.
