On January 20, the Press Conference on Marine Ecological Protection Under the "New Guangdong on the Sea" Initiative was held in Guangzhou. Guangdong is one of the major maritime provinces in China, with a mainland coastline stretching 4,084 kilometers and a jurisdictional sea area covering 64,700 square kilometers. Its marine economy has ranked first nationwide for 30 consecutive years.
During the press conference, Hu Jianbin, Director General of the Department of Natural Resources of Guangdong Province, told SFC that during China's 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), Guangdong has innovated mechanisms for realizing ecological product value and pioneered new pathways for developing and trading marine carbon sinks. In 2025, Jinwan District of Zhuhai completed China's first cross-border marine carbon sink transaction, integrating local tamarisk carbon sinks with those from Portuguese-speaking countries. Meanwhile, Taishan in Jiangmen pioneered a public subscription model for mangrove conservation carbon sinks. It launched the first phase of subscriptions for 5,000 tons at 336 yuan per ton, of which about 2,174 tons have already been sold, further expanding the scope of blue carbon trading.
