在我国海洋环境保护法体系中，海洋环境民事公益诉讼是救济海洋环境污染与生态破坏的重要途径。但是法律体系中缺少对其原告诉讼资格的精准规定，导致司法实践中出现法律适用不清晰、判决结果不一致等问题。明确海洋环境民事公益诉讼的原告主体为海洋环境监管机关、环保组织和检察机关。尤其是对于环保组织，法律规定之间存在矛盾，司法实践中普遍认为环保组织没有提起这类诉讼的资格。但这不利于环境保护法律体系的统一，不利于公权力怠职后进行制衡，不利于海洋陆地环境的统筹保护。进一步分析可知这个问题是由《海洋环境保护法》立法惯性、海洋环境损害可能的国际性、环保组织自身较欠缺专业性和财富资源等原因导致。

所以本文认为还需要限制环保组织提起诉讼的情况，在衔接好海洋环境民事公益诉讼与损害赔偿诉讼的基础上，处理好三者的起诉顺位。可以通过减轻公益诉讼费、设立专项基金等方式调动环保组织参与诉讼的积极性，发挥保护作用。

    The marine environmental public interest litigation(MEPIL) is an important way to remedy marine environmental pollution and ecological damage. But the lack of precise provisions on the qualification of plaintiffs for litigation has led to problems such as an unclear application of law and inconsistent judgement results. So it’s necessary to claims that regulatory organ, procuratorates and environmental protection organisations possess the qualifications to act as a plaintiff in MEPIL.Particularly in response to the plaintiff of environmental protection organizations, there is a contradiction between the provisions of the law, the judicial practice generally denied the eligibility of the plaintiffs. However, this is unbeneficial to the unity of the legal system of environmental protection, is unbeneficial to take actions when the public power failure to fulfil responsibilities, and is unbeneficial to the integrated protection of the marine and terrestrial environment. The following reasons contributed to this problem: the legislative inertia of the Marine Environmental Protection Law, the possible international character of the damage to the marine environment, and the lack of professionalism and wealth of environmental protection organizations themselves.

    So This paper claims that the circumstances in which environmental protection organisations can bring this lawsuit should be limited. It is necessary to deal with the prosecution of the three subjects in line compensation litigation, based on the articulation of MEPIL and litigation for ecological and environmental damage compensation . This paper suggests to reduce the cost of public interest litigation and sett up special fund to motivate Environmental protection organisations.
