Ocean, which contains abundance resources, is called a "blue resources storehouse". Developing ocean is a very important national stratagem action. On the basis of ocean developing and developmental stratagem of Chinese exploration geochemistry, the aim, significance, feasibility and necessity to develop inshore geochemical survey in China are discussed in this paper preliminarily. Some personal ideas and propositions about developing inshore geochemical survey are suggested. Supported by the succeeded experiences of land regional geochemical survey and utilizing of modern ocean exploration techniques, through studying on the methods and techniques of inshore geochemical survey, it is regarded that developing inshore regional geochemical survey in China is absolutely feasibility and has forward looking and innovative.
