1 Introduction
，
Along with the development of the Marine industry blue Shandong peninsula economic zone is
advanced region in Shandong province and China, marine industrial development have obvious
advantages. But compared with the developed countries in marine economy, the level of marine industry
modernization and marine development technological in Shandong Province is still relatively low. These
problems have been serious restricted structure optimization of marine industry, restricted the formation
of leading industry, restricted the sustainable development of Marine economic, and influence further
construction of blue Shandong peninsula economic zone. Therefore, optimizing the structure of the
marine industry is great practical significance for the construction of blue Shandong peninsula economic
zone.
2 The Marine Industry Theory Research Review
In marine industry cluster mechanism research, Fang jing-qing (2009) think Marine high-tech industry
cluster as a type of industrial clusters, its formation mechanism is same as other industry cluster ,
namely, the external economic theory, transaction cost theory, technology innovation theory, and
competition -cooperation theory.
In the study on marine industrial structure evolution, Yu hai-nan (2009) analyses Marine industry
structure of China's evolution by using a "three axis figure" method, and conclude Marine industry
structure is the dynamic evolution process that the first industry dominated, the same time, the second
and third industry developed quickly, eventually the third industry dominated in the order of "321" and
follow the left-lateral type evolution.
In the study on marine industry layout, Yu jin-kai (2009)by using "point-axis" model concluded marine
related enterprises have the tendency gathered to the center in space, including fishing, coastal tourism
and Marine transportation industry have obvious cluster effect and leading role, and put forward the
space marine industry layout system.
In the sustainable development of marine industry, Yu jin-kai (2008) analyzed characteristics of the
sustainable development of marine industry, constructed the index system of marine industry sustainable
development, and points out that the factors affected on sustainable development of marine industries is
marine industry structure, marine science and technology level and marine industry policy.

According to above review , we can see the previous scholars find some of the basic law on the Marine
industry development .But the previous scholars analyzed China's marine industry as a whole, and the
research results on structure optimization of marine industry in blue Shandong peninsula economic zone
were rare.
3 Some Disadvantages of Marine Industry Development in Shandong Province
First, marine science and technology innovation is insufficient, and the level of science and technology
achievements conversion is low, some emerging marine industries have not form the scale. Although
scientific and technological level of marine industry in Shandong province is higher, the general level
cannot meet the ocean development practical needs. Compared with the developed countries in marine
economy, the level of marine industry modernization and marine development technological in
Shandong Province is still relatively low. Especially in technical terms, compared with foreign
advanced level there are decades gap for example, offshore oil and gas exploration, development
technology, higher seafood, marine medicine breeding technology, marine manufacture technology,
directly using sea water technology, sea desalination technology, sea fishing technology, solar salt
technology, and coastal placers mining technology and ocean energy technology and so on. These
techniques were strongly linked to leading industries in blue Shandong peninsula economic zone.
Marine science and technology in Shandong province is limited ocean science, and the innovation of
marine technology-intensive industries is less, involved in electronic, biological technology, mechanical,
engineering, automation, chemical, laser etc. In addition, science and technology achievements
conversion is low; the degree of industrialization is low; the projects industrialization is also slow. Some
of the new ocean industries are difficult to form scale, and the relation between scientific research t and
market has also weakened.
Second, the three -industry structure in blue Shandong peninsula economic zone is unbalanced and
should be optimized. Marine industries in Shandong province focused on developing the first industry
such as fishing and breeding, but the second and third industry develops slowly. Marine fishery has
more important position, followed by the sea salt industry, marine transportation, the shipbuilding
industry, marine oil-gas industry, coastal tourism and coastal sand mining. Emerging industry only has
minor position, for example, marine drugs and sea health food industry, marine electronic information
industry, industry near ports, marine biological and ocean chemical industry develop slowly. According
to the above statement, The proportion of the first industry in blue Shandong peninsula economic zone is
very large, new marine industry, especially the second industry growth is insufficient, the third industry
develop slowly, marine industry structure should be optimized.
Last, marine ecological environment has become worse, and the sustainable development of marine
industries has been affected. Blind reclamation development, construction waste, the gulf coast and the
Yellow River estuary sediment deposition will lead marine ecological environment to deteriorate in
Shandong peninsula coastal. In the offshore breeding process, waste water will be produced by cleaning
pool, throwing the bait, fertilization, spraying drugs, and it cause inshore water eutrophication.
Moreover, it is easy to cause the red tides and breed disease, and make ecological environment be
deteriorated in the Shandong peninsula offshore. Environmental pollution is serious in Shandong
province offshore. Especially in port, the gulf, estuary and the areas close to the city, pollution situation
are particularly serious. Production waste water, urban sewage have been discharged to coastal regions,
which caused beach and offshore waters suffered serious pollution.

First, it should optimize industrial structure, and develop promising leading industry. First of all,
increase the investment of technology development, and continue to promote marine the second industry.
The second Marine industries such as shipbuilding, oil and gas exploration, and sea water chemical
industry can bring huge economic benefits and social benefit, therefore, it should strengthen the second
industry technology development, quickly put into use in industrial structure optimization, and create
more economic value. Secondly, we should promote the development of the third industry, such as the
Marine traffic transportation industry, and coastal tourism, etc. It can carry out the optimization of the
industrial structure, and can bring electronic, mechanical, shipbuilding and other related industry
prosperity, thereby promote the development of regional economy. Finally, marine first industry
development should actively promote the fishery industry management, and gradually build reasonable
structure of modern fisheries industry. Meanwhile, it should research and foster marine high and new
technology industry as a representative of the new leading industries, and strongly develop industry
clusters.
Second, it should increase science and technology innovation, improve science and technology
achievements conversion, establish new marine industrial technology innovation mode. First of all,
improve expenditure in the higher school and research institutes of marine scientific, and attract senior
professional people to construct blue economic zone. Second, strengthen collaborate with domestic and
foreign famous universities, marine research institutions and big companies, enterprise research and
development institutions. Meanwhile, it should take technological exchanging, knowledge sharing,
cooperative development way, and take full advantage of the existing resources of science and
technology, to complement each other's advantages and common development. Finally, encourage
enterprises in the independent innovation, and improve the ability of independent innovation. It should
stimulate enterprise innovation by vertical transmission and horizontal diffusion, and accelerate the
transformation of scientific and technological achievements and building a service system combined
with production and research.
Last, pay attention to the marine ecological environment protection, and realize the sustainable
development in blue Shandong peninsula economic zone. First of all, it should set up and perfect the
Marine environment monitoring network; strictly implement land-sourced pollutants discharged system;
and formulate the corresponding measures with policy regulation, market mechanism, and other means.
Second, strengthen the supervision of marine environmental law, enforce efforts to govern the sea,
strictly implement the marine conservation related laws and regulations. Finally, transform the economic
growth, encourage related enterprise reduce energy consumption and waste water. Strictly manage the
enterprises that pollution is very serious , and modify by laws and regulations.
5 Conclusion
According to the mentioned above, in order to promote marine industries optimize in the blue Shandong
peninsula the economic zone, the government should improve its comprehensive management ability;
accelerate upgrade of marine industrial structure in Shandong peninsula; improve the ability of
independent innovation, establish new marine science and technology innovation mode; and pay more
attention to the Marine ecological environment protection. All in all, only by using various means,
marine industry in blue Shandong peninsula economic zone can achieve optimization goal.
