两岸南海环境保护合作——以海上救捞为视角

Cross-strait Cooperation on Environmental Conservation in the South China Sea:From the Perspective of Marine Salvage

海洋环境保护是海上救捞的重要目的,海上救捞以及时的海难救助及清除沉船等方式防止或减少海洋污染。复杂的地理环境和气象条件,导致南海成为事故高危海域。为防止或减少海难事故及控制损害的扩大,避免对南海环境造成污染或将污染最小化,加强海上救助与打捞是必要的手段。由于海洋污染的特点及南海的特殊情势,需要两岸在南海加强救捞合作。基于以往实践,两岸在救捞方面的合作取得了不错的成效,但还不完善。两岸可合作设立打捞公司在南海实施救助和污染应急处置工作,它既可以避免政治的障碍,又可整合两岸救捞资源,促进南海环境保护。

Marine environmental protection is an important purpose of maritime salvage.It promptly rescues and clears shipwrecks to prevent or reduce marine pollution.The complicated geographical environment and meteorological conditions have caused the South China Sea to become a high-risk accident area.In order to prevent or reduce marine accidents and control the expansion of damage,to avoid or minimize pollution to the South China Sea environment,strengthening marine rescue and salvage is a necessary means.Due to the characteristics of marine pollution and the special situation of the South China Sea,cross-strait cooperation in rescue in the South China Sea is necessary.Based on past practices,cross-strait cooperation in salvage has achieved good results,but it is not yet complete.The two sides can cooperate to set up salvage companies to implement rescue and pollution emergency disposal in the South China Sea,which can not only avoid political obstacles,but also integrate the rescue resources of both sides and promote environmental protection in the South China Sea.
