Evaluation of Conservation Effectiveness of Shankou Mangrove Reserve in Guangxi

Abstract

The pressure-state-response (PSR) model was used to establish the evaluation index system of mangrove reserve protection effectiveness in this paper, taking Shankou Mangrove Reserve in Guangxi as an example. Based on the assessment result, some suggestions to improve the protection effectiveness of mangrove reserve were put forward. The results showed that the protection effect of Shankou Mangrove Reserve from 2008 to 2018 was good, and the ecosystem health status was good. At present, the main problems were as follows: there were still some aquaculture ponds in the reserve, which discharged aquaculture wastewater and domestic sewage of residents, resulting in serious eutrophication of seawater. In addition, the construction of professional personnel and community co-management needs to be improved in Shankou Mangrove Reserve.
