Definition
The marine ecological red line is a marine spatial planning tool, referring to the institutional arrangement of important marine ecological functional areas, ecological sensitive areas, and ecological vulnerable areas as key control areas which implement strict classified management and control measures in order to maintain marine ecological health and security.
Scientific Fundamentals
The Origin and Development of the Red Line System
The red line was originally defined as a red sign warning the maximum safe flight speed or a red line marking other hazardous bases. “Red line” as a spatial planning tool was first used in China by a Chinese scholar Dr. Gao Jixi when he was doing ecological planning in Anji County, Zhejiang Province, in 2000 (Gao 2014). In 2006, the State Council formulated the cultivated land red line of 1.8 billion mu (1 mu = 666.6666667 square meters), which was the...
