“海洋非物质文化遗产”是指那些由海洋实践产生的或为海洋实践服务的、纳入各级代表性项目名录的非物质文化遗产。海洋非物质文化遗产作为非物质文化遗产的重要组成部分应该受到广泛重视。2016年我国新增省级以上的海洋非物质文化遗产代表性项目名录（含扩展项目名录）主要有：东夷渔祖郎君庙会、蓬莱阁庙会、胶东回水咸鱼干传统制作技艺、沙子口金钩海米加工技艺、渤海海盐滩晒工艺五个项目。同时，在2016年，我国海洋非物质文化遗产在博览会活动举办、国际非遗事项的参与、非遗法制建设的推进和资金投入等方面也取得了重要成绩。但目前海洋非物质文化遗产仍未引起国家和社会的广泛关注，其代表性项目名录缺乏梳理，保护和传承工作基本沿用了非遗保护的原则，没有考虑到海洋非物质文化遗产所独具的海洋特性。
“Marine Intangible Cultural Heritage” refers to intangible cultural heritages that have been generated or served in marine practices and are categorized into the list of representative items at all levels.As an important component of intangible cultural heritage，the Marine intangible cultural heritage should be widely regarded.In 2016，the new increased provincial level and above list of representative items of Marine intangible cultural heritage in China（including the extended items）is mainly included the following five items：the temple fair of the Dongyi Fish；Penglai pavilion temple fair；the traditional production method of salted fish of Jiaodong；gold hook sea rice processing skills of Shanzikou；Salt drying skills of Bohai Sea.At the same time，this year has also made important achievements in the event of the exhibition holding，the participation of international Intangible Cultural Heritage projects，the promotion of relative legislation construction and the investment of funds.But up to now，the Marine Intangible Cultural Heritage still do not cause wide attention from the nation and society，and its representative items are lack of sorting and managing.Its protection and inheritance has basically followed the principle of Intangible Cultural Heritage，without the consideration of its unique features.
