Comprehensive Evaluation of Marine Science and Technology Talent Agglomeration

The 11 coastal provinces in China are experimental fields of the development of marine economy which requires marine science and technology talents. As marine industry cluster expands its scale, the distribution of marine science and technology talents are found to be unbalanced among regions. This paper endeavors to make a comprehensive evaluation of the marine science and technology talents in the coastal 11 provinces by establishing a multi - dimensional evaluation system which features marine industry as the dominant industry while including other elements such as education, scientific research, economic and living environment. The evaluation targets are divided into three levels—strong, medium and weak—according to their respective agglomeration. From the perspective of geographic advantages, we put forward a complementary interaction strategy for the strong and weak agglomeration areas, hoping to provide accurate reference to local governments' scientific policy formation.
