The Evaluation of Ecological Protection in Marine Nature Reserves: A case study of Changli Gold Coast National Nature Reserve in Hebei Province

Abstract

In order to further protect China′s marine ecological environment and speed up the construction of marine ecological civilization, this paper explored the establishment of an evaluation system for the ecological protection status of China′s marine nature reserves, and took Changli Gold Coast National Nature Reserve in Hebei Province as an example to evaluate the ecological protection status of China′s marine nature reserves. The results showed that the ecological protection status indexs of the marine nature reserve included the index of area suitability, the index of invasive species, habitat quality index and development disturbance index, compared with the existing evaluation methods, the evaluation method for habitat types and human activity index optimization was closer to the actual situation of marine nature reserve in China, but still had to be inspected. Based on this evaluation method, the ecological protection status of Changli Gold Coast National Nature Reserve in Hebei Province was good, that was, the habitat protection was good, and there was development disturbance but the degree was relatively small.
