The Shanghai Oceanic Administration issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for Marine Development in Shanghai", which mentioned fostering deep-sea resource industries, strengthening research and development of deep-sea energy equipment such as deep-sea oil and gas development and deep-sea wind power, and forward-deploying ocean nuclear-powered commercial ships. It also aims to promote the research and development of key equipment such as deep-sea mining vessels and mining vehicles. Accelerating the development of marine carbon capture and utilization, exploring technical research on marine carbon sequestration mechanisms and carbon sink pathways. Cultivating deep-sea integrated innovation industries, exploring multidisciplinary integration innovation in marine science, bioengineering, life science, material science, and energy engineering, relying on core advantages in deep diving, deep drilling, deep-sea networking, and polar areas. Speed up the breakthrough of key technologies such as deep-sea sensors, and long-range communication and navigation.
