Legal Practice and Challenges of Marine Environmental Protection Organizations in Public Interest Litigation

我国海洋环境问题日益严峻，受到社会各界的高度重视。海洋环保组织在推动海洋环境治理中的作用不容忽视。近年来，海洋环保组织通过公益诉讼的方式在保护海洋环境、维护公共利益方面作用显著。文章以海洋环保公益诉讼法律基础为核心，结合国内外典型案例，系统分析了海洋环保组织在公益诉讼中的角色定位、法律依据及实际成效，并探讨其面临的制度障碍与资源限制。研究发现，公益诉讼不仅强化了环境法治的执行力，还为公众参与海洋环保提供了法律路径。但是环保组织公益诉讼自主性不足、诉讼信息滞后等问题仍制约其参与效能。基于此，文章提出完善法律制度、提供资源支持及提升公众参与度等建议，以期为海洋环保组织公益诉讼的可持续发展提供理论支撑。The issue of marine environmental degradation in China has become increasingly severe, drawing significant attention from all sectors of society. The role of marine environmental protection organizations in promoting marine environmental governance cannot be overlooked. In recent years, these organizations have played a significant role in protecting the marine environment and safeguarding public interests through public interest litigation. This paper focuses on the legal foundation of marine environmental public interest litigation, combining domestic and international typical cases to systematically analyze the role positioning, legal basis, and practical effectiveness of marine environmental protection organizations in public interest litigation. It also explores the institutional obstacles and resource limitations they face. The study finds that public interest litigation not only strengthens the enforcement of the environmental rule of law but also provides a legal pathway for public participation in marine environmental protection. However, issues such as the lack of autonomy in public interest litigation by environmental organizations and delays in accessing litigation information still constrain their effectiveness. Based on these findings, this paper proposes recommendations for improving legal systems, providing resource support, and enhancing public participation, aiming to offer theoretical support for the sustainable development of public interest litigation by marine environmental protection organizations.
