Gross ocean production accounts for 9.5 percent of China's GDP, statistics show.
Last year, the SOA dispatched inspectors to 11 coastal provinces, municipalities and regions. The first six, Fujian, Guangxi, Hebei, Hainan, Jiangsu and Liaoning, were cautioned over reclamation projects and coastal pollution.
Also on Wednesday, the SOA disclosed the findings of a nationwide survey on land-based sources of marine pollution, identifying a total of some 9,600 such sources, including about 740 rivers, 7,500 sewage outlets and 1,350 emergency flood outlets.
Among the sewage outlets, only 8 percent were licensed, and about one-quarter were established in ecologically sensitive areas.
The SOA found that the marine environment near more than 80 percent of sewage outlets failed to meet standards. About 80 percent of the marine ecosystem under watch was rated unhealthy or sub-healthy.
To address the issue, the SOA will monitor sources of pollution and introduce real-time monitoring.
