摘要

Abstract

In 2022

Yellow Sea green tide caused by

Ulva

prolifera

reached a historic minimum and the coastal areas of Shandong Peninsula were less affected. However

the largest amount of seaweed biomass has been washed ashore on Lianyungang and Rizhao coasts since 2015. We studied the development pattern of Yellow Sea green tide in 2022

and analyzed the key environmental factors on the growth and drifting

then discussed the possible reasons that resulted in the massive stranding of green tide biomass in Lianyungang and Rizhao. Results show under the combined influence of the east to southeast winds and currents with shoreward anomalies

green tide drifted to the coastal waters between Shandong and Jiangsu provinces and the distribution areas located westward compared with previous years (2008‍‍‍–‍2021). Floating

prolifera

rafts from the coastal waters of Binhai and Sheyang drifted continuously into the coastal waters of Lianyungang and Rizhao

providing important supplements for Yellow Sea green tide. Because green tide in 2022 distributed close to the coastal waters

the abundant nutrients might support their continuous high growth rate. I

n addition

the amount of rainfall around Shandong Peninsula from late June to early July were significantly higher than in previous years

which might promote the development of green tide to some extent.
