海洋生物资源法律保护制度探微——以我国台湾地区宝石珊瑚渔业为镜鉴

A Probe into the Legal Protection of Marine Biological Resources——Taking the Precious Coral Fishery in Taiwan as an Example

宝石珊瑚作为稀有海洋生物,具有弥足珍贵的生态价值,但目前关于宝石珊瑚的法律保护却不尽如人意,折射出目前海洋生态保护工作陷入的尴尬境地。我国台湾地区的珊瑚渔业政策演进与法律制度实践便充分说明了这一切。而围绕其所展开的生态保育论战无不呼唤加强对宝石珊瑚的生态保护力度。对此,需要在海洋生态观的指引下,通过海峡两岸的相互合作与共同努力,纠正我国台湾地区珊瑚渔业的政策偏差,完善台湾地区宝石珊瑚的法律保护制度。这将有利于更好地利用与保护宝石珊瑚这一海洋生物资源,让其珊瑚渔业在多国禁止以加强保护的国际潮流中实现永续发展,也为海洋生物资源的法律保护制度探索出一条可资借鉴的实践道路。

As a marine biological resource,the precious coral is of very important ecological value.However,the current legal protection of the precious coral is inadequate,reflecting the awkward situation of the protection of marine ecology.Such an awkward situation can be seen in the evolution of Taiwan＇s precious coral fishing policy and the practice of the related legal protection.The debates centering on the precious coral all call for the strengthening of its protection.So Taiwan and China's Mainland should cooperate with each other to correct Taiwan＇s coral fishery policy deviation and solve the problems in Taiwan＇s coral fishery under the marine ecological view.Such a cooperation will better use and protect the precious coral and help Taiwan＇s fishery to achieve sustainable development,especially when precious coral fishing is prohibited in many countries.And it can also carve a way for the legal protection of marine biological resources.
