Estuarine and coastal challenges in China
摘要
Abstract
Estuaries and coasts are conjunctions of four spheres (atmosphere
lithosphere
hydrosphere and biosphere) and important matter and energy convergence/divergence zones
where developed economy
dense population and highly intensive exploitation induce adverse environmental changes and serious destruction of resources
which have great impacts on coastal sustainable development
especially as the highly intensive development in river basins has direct and pronounced effects on estuaries and their adjacent coasts. In the new century
China's estuaries and coast are faced with four main challenges: sharp decrease of sediment discharge into the sea
rapid increase of pollution matter into the sea
loss of coastal wetland
and the impacts of global sea level rise on the coastal lowlands of China. Therefore
it is undoubtedly very important and urgent to carry out studies on estuarine and coastal environmental changes
in order to resolve the issue of national sustainable development
especially that of rational use of coastal zone resources.
