Since 2004, Maritime Sociology turned to be a new researching sphere of Sociology in China. It was defined as a kind of Sociology focuses on interactive activity between Ocean and Human Being, but the fundamental researching paradigm of Maritime Sociology still lacks to clear clarification. This paper takes a theoretic path of Marx-Bourdieu to build a Maritime Practice Paradigm for Maritime Sociology, which takes human`s maritime activity as practice embedded in the environment of Field, Habitus and Capital. We thus concern that Maritime Sociology`s researching paradigm should not only follow the basic logic of social science, seeking for a causal relationship of y=f(x) to simply take the factor of Ocean as an independent (x) or dependent (y) towards Human`s practice, but also treat the factor of Ocean among the situation of practice, taking a Zigzag way to notice the different ways that Ocean and Human himself suffers changes and transformation during the process of practice. This would give Maritime Sociology something special to further and enrich our research.
