The concept of marine ecological civilization is first defined in this study, then, a marine ecological civilization construction level measurement index system is built from six aspects including marine ecology, marine resource, marine environment, marine economy, marine culture and marine system. The study points out that according to the marine ecological civilization construction indexes, Dalian, Weihai and Yantai are demonstration cities; Dongying and Tianjin are advanced cities; Tangshan, Panjin, Huludao, Yingkou, Dandong, Qinhuangdao are key cities; Weifang, Jinzhou, Binzhou and Cangzhou are promising cities. Based on the Bohai marine ecological civilization construction level measure analysis, the path of marine ecological civilization construction is put forward in order to guide the regional marine ecological civilization construction in terms of policy and decision making.
