Research on Strategies of Marine Knowledge Education and Cultural Communication in China

Taking Shenzhen as an Example

Abstract

This thesis takes Shenzhen as its research subject, analyzing the distribution of its marine educational resources, cultural dissemination models, and policy support systems. It proposes an integrated strategy for marine cultural dissemination that combines "education + technology + tourism." The study reveals that Shenzhen holds significant advantages in marine science education, the application of digital technology, and the integration of coastal tourism with culture. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement in resource integration, public participation, and international communication capabilities. By establishing a marine cultural dissemination ecosystem characterized by "government leadership, social participation, and technological empowerment," Shenzhen has the potential to elevate marine awareness from the "cognitive level" to the "identational level," offering cultural support for the construction of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. As a key coastal city in China, Shenzhen possesses abundant marine resources and a rich historical and cultural heritage. Against the strategic backdrop of building a "marine power," Shenzhen shoulders the significant mission of constructing a global marine central city. This paper uses Shenzhen as a case study to explore the current status, challenges, and strategies of marine knowledge education and cultural dissemination in China. By examining Shenzhen's practices and innovations in marine knowledge education and cultural dissemination, it summarizes lessons learned to provide insights for other coastal cities, aiding in the enhancement of public marine awareness and the promotion of the prosperity and development of marine culture. The ocean is the largest expanse on Earth's surface and is also a crucial resource for human survival and development-a Resource Treasure House. With the rapid advancement of global economic integration and technology, the ocean's role in the national economy, politics, military, and culture has become increasingly significant. As a major maritime nation, China has vast waters and abundant marine resources. However, compared to other maritime powers, there remains a significant gap in the popularization of marine knowledge and the dissemination of marine culture in China. Shenzhen, as a pioneer of China's reform and opening-up, has utilized its unique geographical advantages and robust economic power to become a pivotal city for promoting marine education and cultural exchange.
