辽宁省海岸的蚀淤等级与分布

To identify grades and distribution of coastal erosion in Liaoning, we analyzed the coastline information of 1990 and 2007, in combination with the comprehensive investigation data, and appraised coastal erosion and siltation characteristics in Liaoning Province. We found that Suizhong and Xiongyue coast were eroded seriously, while north Huanghai coast in Liaoning Province was steady in the sandy coast. Laotieshan coast was eroded seriously in the rocky coast, and the Heidao coast in Zhuanghe was eroded seriously in the silty mud coast. Indentification the grades and distribution of coastal erosion and siltation in Liaoning Province is important to coastal repair, coastal erosion prevention, and coastal management.
