Layout of the artificial coast in Lianyungang and its implementation

The "artificial coast" refers to a coast section, with considerable spatial dimension, reformed by human activities. The purposes of coastal reform may be diversified. It should be consistent with the economic principles and must lay emphasis on the improvement of coastal ecosystems, and the affinity of man to marine environment. One of the basic studies in the artificial coast planning is to construct the dynamic model of coastal erosion and accretion. From such understandings, the West Great Seawall in Lianyungang can be considered as a successful project in artificial coast engineering.
