en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Fujian Provincial Department of Natural Resources recently issued a notice, putting forward a number of specific requirements regarding the management of sea sand mining in maritime areas, aiming to standardize the order of sea sand resource development.
The notice proposes that the granting of sea sand mining rights should be carried out in an orderly manner with integrated land and sea planning. All localities need to take into account local realities, strengthen the investigation and evaluation of sea sand resources, plan the mining layout in advance, and, based on an analysis of the sand and gravel market operation, ensure the balance of sea sand supply and demand, and grant mining rights in an orderly fashion.
In the transfer and transaction process, the notice requires strict management. The sea sand mining right and the sea area use right must strictly implement the "integration of two rights" system of transfer through bidding, auction, or listing. In accordance with the requirements of building a unified national market, it is strictly forbidden to set unreasonable, discriminatory, restrictive, or preferential transfer conditions in violation of regulations, to illegally add pre-qualification reviews, or to intervene in the trading and circulation of mineral products by administrative means.
The notice also standardizes the renewal work for the "two rights" of sea sand mining. For cases where an established sea sand mining right has expired due to objective reasons such as policy adjustments, but the paid-for sea sand resources have not yet been fully extracted, if the mining area complies with the control requirements of territorial spatial planning, overall mineral resource planning, and ecological conservation red lines, the mining right renewal can be processed. The renewal contract must specify the total remaining extraction volume, and over-extraction is strictly prohibited. For those meeting the renewal conditions, the sea area use right renewal can be processed simultaneously according to regulations; the terms of both rights should be consistent, and the sea area use fees shall be paid in a lump sum based on the price standard at the time of the initial transfer.
The notice emphasizes the need to strengthen ongoing and ex-post supervision of sea sand mining. All localities should urge enterprises to conduct mining in a standardized manner according to the approved scope and methods, implement marine ecological protection measures, and minimize environmental impact. At the same time, they should cooperate with marine law enforcement agencies to establish an information sharing mechanism, promptly report any illegal clues discovered, jointly maintain the order of sea sand development, and combat illegal mining activities.
