In view of the shortage of marine talents and the slow progress of academic backbones, this paper analyzed in details the status quo of marine human resources and deficiencies in the existing marine education in China, and then proposed a plan for continuing education optimization based on the marine system stability in terms of the teaching mode, cultivation mechanism, and incentives. This plan was put forward as a reference for the development of marine talent education in China so as to optimize the allocation of marine human resources and vigorously advance the marine industry.
