“…Marine mammals ( n = 18) were also common conservation objectives for MPAs, especially the Chinese white dolphin ( n = 12, 1370 km 2 ), seals (8454 km 2 ), and dugongs (374 km 2 ). Sea turtles ( n = 2) and a type of finless porpoise ( n = 1), likely a marine subspecies of Neophocaena phocaenoides ( 35 ), were also objectives but were not captured among the top 25 in Table 5 . In addition to specific species, MPAs also commonly included important marine ecosystems among their stated conservation objectives, including wetlands ( n = 40), mangroves ( n = 38), and coral reefs ( n = 10), and undefined ecosystems reflected as “marine ecosystems” ( n = 42) and “coastal ecosystems” ( n = 20).…”

“…Other frequently protected biota included culturally valuable animals such as birds and horseshoe crabs and groups of species that play key supporting roles for their wider ecosystems like forage fish ( 33 ). Shallow-habitat MPAs also protected important coastal ecosystems that have been under great historical pressure from coastal development including mangroves, coastal wetlands, and coral reefs ( 35 ). Other degraded coastal ecosystems, such as seagrass beds, were less frequently included among conservation objectives, but that does not mean that they are not protected.…”

“…The coastal ecosystem provides a variety of ecosystem goods and services that support the sustainable development for human beings ( Bennett et al, 2016 ; Mehvar et al, 2018 ; Wu et al, 2020 ). Among them, seaweeds cover a large area of the coastal zone, providing high-value ecosystem services (i.e., globally significant carbon fixation, absorb contaminants, etc.)…”

“…Saltmarshes are major components of coastal ecosystems in China, being present across all the coastal provinces and municipalities. As one of major Blue carbon habitats, saltmarshes play a significant role in Blue carbon strategies in China due to their broad distribution and high carbon sequestration potential [18]. Recently, China has been vigorously developing a blue carbon program for climate change mitigation and adaptation, including the improvement of wetland carbon sequestration capacity as a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions among China's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) submitted under the Paris Agreement [19].…”
