Abstract

In order to improve the coastal ecological environment of Lingao County, Hainan Province, enhance ecosystem service value of coastal zone and ensure ecological security of coastal zone, based on the field trips, literature review and data analysis, this paper summarized the typical ecological environment problems of Lingao coastal zone o, analyzed the main reasons of ecological degradation, and then some suggestions on protection and restoration of Lingao coastal zone were put forward. The results show that: the sandy coast, mangrove, coral reef and Pinctada maxima are faced with serious coastal erosion, ecological environment degradation and biological resource depletion in Lingao coastal zone. Sandy coastal erosion was mainly affected by natural factors such as sea level rise and storm surge, mangrove ecosystem was mainly affected by the sea aquaculture and environmental pollution, and coral reef and Pinctada maxima were mainly affected by human activities such as fishing and water pollution. Based on the analysis of the current situation of ecological degradation and their causes, this paper proposed beach feeding and ecological seawall construction in Wenlan Estuary and Baowu Harbor, mangrove restoration in Xinying Bay, Huanglong Bay and Jinpai Bay, and natural sealing for coral and Pinctada maxima conservation area.
