GB/T 34546.1-2017

This standard provides the general principles, procedures, and methodologies for assessing ecological damage to marine environments caused by human activities such as oil spills, chemical leaks, or coastal construction. It is applied by environmental authorities and assessment agencies in China to quantify the extent of harm to marine ecosystems, including habitats and biological resources, for the purpose of determining liability and guiding restoration efforts. The standard serves as a foundational framework for conducting legally defensible ecological damage assessments in marine pollution incidents and development projects.
