Research on the Impact of Ningbo Meishan Port Terminal Project on the Surrounding Marine Environment

Abstract

The changes in the ecological environment of the surrounding sea areas during ocean engineering construction are a key technical issue in the development and construction, which is beneficial for the protection of the nearshore marine environment and the development and utilization of resources. This study analyzes the changes in the surrounding marine environment during the pre construction (2011), construction period (2016, 2017), and post construction (2022) periods of the project, based on the hydrological, sediment, water quality, sediment, and biological data measured on four voyages of the Ningbo Meishan Port Terminal Project from 2011 to 2022. Research has found that the changes in water quality, sediment, and biological ecology in the surrounding waters of the Meishan Port Terminal Project fluctuate within a limited range before, during, and after construction, indicating that the construction of the project has not had a significant impact on the water quality, sediment quality, and marine biological ecology in the surrounding waters. The construction of the project did not have a limited impact on the surrounding marine ecological environment, indicating that the construction of the project meets the requirements for marine environmental protection. The research conclusion serves as an important basis for the construction of the Ningbo Meishan Port Terminal Project, and also provides a certain reference basis for the protection of the marine ecological environment in the sea area.
