Abstract
Bohai Sea, China's only inland sea, became seriously polluted because of rapid economic development. The pollution monitoring system of Bohai Sea started in 1978, and has grown to have 215 monitoring stations today. The Chinese government recently increased efforts to improve the environmental quality of Bohai Sea in an effort to achieve the sustainable development of the Wider Bohai Sea Area. This paper presents the current pollution situation and its environmental impacts. It also discusses the existing pollution management mechanisms and pollution abatement programs for Bohai Sea.
