A method for preparing a marine biodegradable polymer compound, which method comprises the step of polymerizing (A) a marine biodegradable linking agent which is a compound that includes on the molecule two or more reactive groups X and has, on a main chain, a structure which includes two or more organic anions having molecular weights of from 100 to 10,000 and in which the organic anions are bound by ionic bonds with a metal cation having a valence of two or more, (B1) a compound having on the molecule two or more reactive groups Y that react with the reactive groups X and (C) a compound, other than the marine biodegradable linking agent, which includes on the molecule two or more reactive groups X;
- or the step of polymerizing (A) a marine biodegradable linking agent which is a compound that includes on the molecule two or more reactive groups X and has, on a main chain, a structure which includes two or more organic anions having molecular weights of from 100 to 10,000 and in which the organic anions are bound by ionic bonds with a metal cation having a valence of two or more and (B2) a ring-opening polymerizable cyclic compound in which reactive groups Y that react with the reactive groups X form on the molecule due to ring opening.
