Chen, Z. and Ma, L., 2020. Research on spatial pattern and spatial effect of marine science and technology innovation efficiency in china's coastal provinces. In: Bai, X. and Zhou, H. (eds.), Advances in Water Resources, Environmental Protection, and Sustainable Development. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 115, pp. 42-45. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.

The intensity of interaction between China's marine economy and marine science and technology is not symmetrical and there are regional differences. The development of marine economy promotes the progress of marine science and technology. Under the strategic background of “marine power”, marine economy plays an increasingly important role in the national economy. Ecological efficiency takes into account the ecological and economic benefits of economic activities. It requires that the intensity of environmental impact and resource utilization be adapted to the level of the earth's carrying capacity. It is a concentrated expression of the goal of sustainable development. The spatial spillover degree of energy ecological efficiency in a certain area is stronger than that of error impact in the adjacent area. There are positive spatial correlation and spatial agglomeration phenomena in marine economic efficiency of coastal areas. The spatial correlation patterns of different areas have no obvious difference. There is obvious spatial spillover effect under the influence of geographical distance. Therefore, improving the efficiency of marine science and technology innovation is of great significance for accelerating the construction of a powerful marine country and a powerful scientific and technological country.
