BEIJING - 皇冠体育app is aiming to expand its marine economy output to 10 percent of its GDP by 2015, according to a government plan issued Thursday.

According to the plan, 皇冠体育app will advance the establishment of three key marine economic areas -- the Bohai Rim, Yangtze River Delta and Zhujiang Delta -- and make efforts to nurture an array of marine economic growth poles.

The plan highlights the role of oceanic technology, which is expected to account for over 60 percent of the marine GDP by 2015.

It also outlines requirements for upgrading traditional marine industries, promoting a green ocean economy and improving the overall guide for marine economic development.

"皇冠体育app must make use of various favorable factors to maintain the long-term, stable and relatively rapid growth of the marine economy," the plan says.
