“…For example, the Ministry of Finance allocated subsidy funds to Shandong at the end of 2013; Liaoning issued ten policies and measures to promote the healthy development of marine fisheries in 2009; Guangdong implemented the Marine Economic Comprehensive Pilot zone in 2012, and received funding from the Ministry of Finance in 2013. These policies have stimulated the development of local marine fisheries and laid a solid foundation for the development of the aquaculture industry everywhere [50][51][52]. The classification of shellfish and algae carbon sinks in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangxi fluctuated frequently and were generally in medium or medium, and low carbon sinks areas.…”

The shellfish and algae carbon sinks as an important part of the fishery carbon sinks. It is of great significance to evaluate the current development status of shellfish and algae carbon sinks for the development of fishery carbon sinks and realization of carbon neutrality. There are a lot of studies on the quantitative relationship of shellfish and algae carbon sinks, but few researches on its spatial relationship. This study used the Natural Breaks and Standard Deviation Ellipse (SDE) in Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyze the spatial evolutionary characteristics of China's shellfish and algae carbon sinks from 1992 to 2021. The results show that spatial distribution of carbon sinks varied widely in different regions, the overall spatial layout was stable and gradually formed a pattern of integrated and coordinated development of key regions and general regions. The structure of the shellfish and algae carbon sinks was unbalanced in China, in which algae carbon sinks had great potential for development. China's shellfish and algae carbon sinks had strong resilience after natural disasters. Based on the above findings, this study suggests that all regions should increase the total output of shellfish and algae, expand the scale of algae, and achieve a balanced development of the shellfish and algae industry. Local governments should introduce marine environmental governance policies according to local conditions to achieve precise intervention in key carbon sink areas and overall governance in general carbon sink areas. The government should actively promote the expansion of shellfish and algae mariculture scale. This study will provide reference for the future development of China's fishery carbon sinks.

“…On the other hand, there are risks in the development process of marine carbon sink projects, such as natural risks, policy risks, human behavior risks, technical risks, and market risks. Existing research has shown that risks can have a huge impact on the development of marine carbon sink projects (He et al, 2022b;He et al, 2023b). Therefore, it is necessary to explore the behavioral choices of marine carbon sink project entities under risk conditions.…”

Marine carbon sink projects are important carriers for the development and utilization of marine carbon sink resources. The risk factors existing in the development process of marine carbon sink projects will significantly affect the behavior of the project subject, and then affect whether or not the project development can be conducted smoothly. Based on the evolutionary game method, this paper analyzes the behavior choice of each project subject under the risk condition, and explores the influencing factors that promote the change of its action probability. The results show the following: (1) Government subsidies can promote the development of marine carbon sink projects, but when the subsidies are too large, the government’s willingness decreases, which may lead to significant changes in the decisions of relevant practitioners. (2) The government pays more attention to image improvement, is not sensitive to risks, and always chooses active subsidies. In the case that the risk poses a great threat to the project, the behavior strategies of the relevant practitioners and investors will influence each other, and both sides will determine the behavior strategies that can obtain more returns according to the other side’s behavior decision. (3) The behavior of relevant practitioners and investors has an impact on the strategy of the demander. When the risk increases, the former has a greater impact on the demander’s choice not to buy marine carbon sink. Relevant policy suggestions are put forward: (1) the government should flexibly adjust the subsidy mechanism; (2) the government should enhance the influence and popularity of marine carbon sink projects; and (3) the government should reduce the risks faced by the practitioners.

China is rich in marine resources and has excellent potential for the development of oceanic carbon sinks. Ocean carbon sinks have shown broad application prospects, but the technical system for trading has not yet been perfected, the relevant legislation has not yet been established, etc. China should actively promote scientific research on ocean carbon sinks, improve the technical system of ocean carbon sinks, establish an ocean carbon sink trading system, and develop the eco-economy of ocean carbon sinks. It should also establish a sound system of laws and regulations to explore the potential of oceanic carbon sinks and contribute to the realization of China’s dual-carbon goal.
