江苏省海洋资源的综合指数,在国内居第四位,在全国11个临海省市中排名第七。江苏省海洋经济的现状与江苏省作为全国经济强省的地位,是极不相称的。为了改变此种落后的状况,省委省政府于1996年正式提出了建设“海上苏东”的战略决策,向全省人民吹响了开发海洋的进军号,是令人欢欣鼓舞的。 Jiangsu Province, the comprehensive index of marine resources, ranks fourth in the country, ranking seventh in the 11 coastal provinces and cities nationwide. The status quo of Jiangsu’s marine economy is disproportionately disproportionate to Jiangsu’s status as a national economic province. In order to change such backwardness, the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government formally put forward the strategic decision of 1996 to build the “maritime east” and sounded encouraging words to the people of the whole province on the march to develop the sea.
