Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 98, pp. 381–384. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.This study proposes that the input of marine environmental pollution control affects the output value of the marine fishery. Based on panel data from Marine Fisheries for China's coastal areas, model setting and data testing were performed. Through the spatial econometric model, the model results were estimated and analyzed and showed that the marine fishery economy in China is greatly affected by the total investment in environmental pollution control. Proper total investment in environmental pollution control will promote an increase in marine fishery output value, but with the change in the regional environment, excessive control of environmental pollution will also have a negative effect on the marine fishery output value. In addition, the number of people employed in the fishery labor force, the local per capita gross domestic product (GDP), and marine fishing productivity will have a significant positive effect on the fishery output in China.
