Reducing Land Based Sources of Marine Ecosystem Problems

1. Reducing Land Based Sources of Marine Ecosystem Problems CCICED Roundtable Meeting April 27-28, 2011

2. Determinants of Ecosystem Health • Water Quantity • Water resource availability • Upstream diversions • Upstream consumptive uses • Variability in precipitation • Water Quality • Upstream discharges • Municipal and industrial • Agricultural nonpoint sources • Development and use of coastal lands

3. Agriculture in China’s Rural Economy(gross output value 100 million yuan)

4. Efficiency in Agriculture Enhances Resilience of Food Supply System • Water conservation – saves water supply for additional water use in the future, reduces costs • Precision nitrogen fertilizer use – protects local water supplies, reduces costs • Livestock manure management – utilizes nutrients, protects local water supplies

5. Digesters Produce Fuel, Reduce GHG Emissions, and Lower Local Air & Water Pollution 沼气项目

6. Water, Biomass, & Nutrient Management in Rice Production Reduces GHG, Conserves Water, Lowers Pollution, Saves Money水稻田项目

12. Conclusions 结论 • The new urgency and stringency of environmental targets under the 12th Five Year Plan require a renewed focus on policy efficiency and specific implementing mechanisms 十二五规划将提出更严格更急迫的环境目标，这要求决策者重新审视政策的效率 • Integrated policy frameworks can achieve multiple goals simultaneously 综合政策框架可以同时实现多个目标 • The examples shown illustrate how environmental protection policies can promote “inclusive growth” and increase incomes例证展示了环保政策如何促进“共享式增长” • AND reduce land based sources of pollution to protect the ecosystem services of rivers and the sea
