From May 21-24, the Marine Spatial Planning Training Workshop, supervised by China Oceanic Development Foundation (CODF) and organized by Fujian Institute for Sustainable Oceans, Xiamen University (FISO) and CCCC Water Transportation Consultants Co., Ltd. (hereinafter the 'CCCC Water'), was held in Xiamen. Participants included maritime officials and scholars from Timor-Leste and Indonesia. Tailored lectures from seasoned experts were delivered to the participants, followed with discussions on the current state of marine spatial planning (MSP) development in Timor-Leste, problems and challenges faced, and how the parties can cooperate. The participants also had field surveys in Xiamen's integrated coastal management (ICM) and ecological restoration demonstration sites, which provides straightforward understanding of the contributions of MSP to the sustainable development of Xiamen's coastal zones.
The Workshop was moderated by Prof. Xue Xiongzhi, Dean of FISO. Prof. Pan Xinchun, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of CODF, delivered the first lecture entitled "Practices and Achievements of China's Marine Spatial Planning". He introduced the development of MSP in China, elaborated on its practical achievements, and discussed how China's MSP could be adapted to countries along the "Belt and Road". Additionally, he provided a detailed introduction to the cooperative models and mechanisms of CODF's Maritime Silk Road project, expressing a keen expectation for in-depth cooperation with Timor-Leste, Indonesia and other countries, and willing to embrace, as always, the open cooperation and mutual development in the marine sector. Prof. Xue Xiongzhi's lecture cut directly to the core of ocean governance - the management of human activities. He then analyzed the close connections between nature, society, and the economy. He shared the practical history of ICM in Xiamen, explaining both theoretically and practically the coupling relationship between ICM and MSP. He pointed out that ICM provides strong support for the scientific and effective implementation of MSP, while MSP, as an efficient management tool, not only provides a basis for the implementation of management but also secures tangible management outcomes. Mr. Qian Liming, Deputy General Manager of CCCC Water, gave an overview of the company and expressed their willingness to support Timor-Leste's MSP efforts. Mr. Hao Xu, Associate Researcher and Deputy Director of the Development Research Institute of CCCC Water, gave a detailed introduction of the institute and its business scope, especially in the blue economy sector, where through refined planning processes, the institute has promoted the coordinated development of numerous ports and their surrounding areas. Furthermore, the company has participated in key programs such as the "Belt and Road Initiative", collaborating with a number of developing countries to promote the concept of green and intelligent ports. Senior Engineer Mr. Liu Yulong from CCCC Water provided a detailed introduction to their cooperation project with Fiji. Focusing on Fiji's coastal tourism, port shipping, fisheries, and commercial processing, the CCCC water planned 20 specific development projects. Among these projects, initial investments will be directed towards fishery bases, aquaculture, dock construction, tourism complexes, and clean energy projects (such as tidal power and offshore wind power). The aim is to promote the sustainable utilization of Fiji's marine resources and the diversification and sustainable development of its blue economy.
During the discussion section, representatives from the CODF, FISO, and CCCC Water engaged in exchanges with representatives from Timor-Leste and Indonesia regarding MSP in Timor-Leste. Mr. Constancio, Chief of Marine Spatial Planning and Coastal Resource Management of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Forestry of Timor-Leste, first introduced the conditions of the country's marine and coastal zones, the development of MSP, and the challenges faced. Timor-Leste is a young island state in Southeast Asia with abundant marine resources, Mr. Constancio pointed out. The ocean holds immeasurable value for its economy, culture, and national identity. Facing the dual challenges of globalization and climate change, implementing MSP is not only a key component of Timor-Leste's national development strategy but has also become an essential path to ensuring the well-being of its people and promote sustainable development. Timor-Leste is expecting to cooperate with China in MSP, particularly in the aspects of technical support and capacity building. Prof. Pan Xinchun pointed out that through relentless practical efforts, China has established a comprehensive legal framework for marine functional zoning, a technical standards system, as well as supervision and implementation mechanisms. These measures have significantly enhanced marine ecological protection mechanisms and built a comprehensive integrated management system for sea areas. These initiatives have not only promoted the development of modern marine industries but also injected strong momentum into the marine economy. CODF is willing to share China's experience in MSP and looks forward to cooperating with Timor-Leste to identify its comparative advantages and promote the sustainable development of Timor-Leste's marine and coastal areas as well as its blue economy. Next, the Timor-Leste side will promote the signing of a memorandum of understanding on cooperation between the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Forestry of Timor-Leste and CODF to ensure the smooth implementation of cooperation projects in said fields.
Following the discussion, the participants went on field visits to Xiamen ICM and ecological restoration demonstration sites. Impressed by the city’s efforts in restoring marine ecology, pollution control, blue economy, etc., the participants gained a deeper understanding of the value that ICM and MSP provided towards Xiamen's social and economic development.
For Timor-Leste, MSP is a key to a sustainable future. Through this forward-looking planning, Timor-Leste will be able to optimize the utilization of marine resources, safeguard its marine environment, and take on a healthier and more balanced development path. The Workshop marks a solid step forward in facilitating Timor-Leste to carry out MSP, which will not only promote the economic and social development of the country, but also contribute to the building of a new type of international relations and a human community with a shared future through the continued and deepened cooperation between China and "Belt and Road" countries.
