Abstract
- Illegal mining activities on offshore sands have recently increased dramatically in China owing to the strong demand of the construction industry and restriction of river sand mining. By studying the loss mechanism of marine sand resources, this study proposes a simplified linear programming model to quantitatively analyse the control effects related to resource loss and law enforcement costs. To accurately simulate the effectiveness of law enforcement activity, a set of variables is designed in the model to describe the severity of illegal mining and enforcement skills of the officers. Subsequently, based on different settings of law enforcement capability, the model can not only make reasonable projections for sand losses but also provide a minimum cost solution for marine sand control for government agencies. Finally, various regulatory measurements and suggestions are discussed to improve the effectiveness of the government's regularisation and cost optimisation for law enforcement.
