The implementation of the Belt and Road initiative is an important strategic support for building a new regional opening pattern. It has important strategic significance for cultivating new industries along the line and developing new space for the development of the marine economy. All relevant coastal cities should actively use the development strategy of this country in the new era and actively promote the upgrading and transformation of the marine economic structure. This paper introduces the opportunities brought by the Belt and Road initiative to the marine industry of China's coastal provinces and analyzes the main problems existing in the development of marine economic industry in China's coastal provinces. Then, the North Bay is taken as an example to propose the marine industry selection and system construction. Finally, it expounds the path of the adjustment of the marine economic industrial structure of China's coastal provinces under the Belt and Road initiative. It is expected to promote the cooperation and exchange of higher level marine economy among the countries and regions along the coastal cities of China and the Maritime Silk Road and promote the development of marine economy in China's coastal cities.
