Abstract
China is a firm practitioner of the goal of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality", and the ocean, as the largest active carbon pool on the earth, plays a vital role in China's "dual-carbon" strategy. As an important part of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Guangdong Province has a vast sea area, so it is of great economic and social significance to study its Marine carbon sink activities. This paper selects relevant data from 2012 to 2022 to estimate the marine carbon sink data of Guangdong Province according to China's "Marine Carbon sink Value Accounting Method", and explores the influencing factors of Marine carbon sink in Guangdong Province. The results show that in recent 11 years, the Marine carbon sink capacity of Guangdong Province has been continuously improved, showing a trend of increasing year by year. The production of Marine shellfish and the employees of Marine related industries have a significant impact on the Marine carbon sink of Guangdong Province, and the gross Marine product is positively correlated with the Marine carbon sink.
