Chinese coastal ecosystem in the climate changing environment

TheChinesecoastalecosystem,avitalzoneofecologicalandeconomicsignificance,facesescalating pressures under climate change and human activities. This study examines the ecological dynamics of China's coastal regions, emphasizing the interaction between climate-driven stressors and anthropogenic activities. Heat waves, ocean acidification, hypoxia and imbalance of nutrients have exacerbated ecological disasters, including harmful algal blooms (red tides), large-scale green algae (e.g., Ulva prolifera) bloom, and jellyfish blooms, which disrupt biodiversity, fisheries, and coastal livelihoods. Concurrently, the rapid expansion of aquaculture has strained ecological carrying capacity, with overexploitation of resources and nutrient pollution further degrading water quality and habitat integrity. We will evaluate the ecological capacity and healthy condition of key coastal zones, revealing declining resilience due to combination of climate impacts and unsustainable practices. Case studies highlight regions such as the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, and East China Sea, where eutrophication and hypoxia threaten marine ecosystems and aquaculture productivity. Mitigation strategies, including integrated coastal zone management, nutrient load reduction, and climate-adaptive aquaculture practices,areproposedtoenhancesustainability.Bysynthesizingclimatic,ecological,andsocioeconomic data, this study underscores the urgency of balancing economic development with ecological preservation to safeguard China's coastal ecosystems in a warming world.

He earned his PhD in marine ecology from IOCAS in 1994. Since 1998, he has served as vice director of IOCAS. As the team leader in marine science, he took part in the Chinese Antarctic Expedition for three times. His research interest is mainly in marine ecology, especially in the zooplankton population dynamics and ecosystem dynamics. He was also the chairman of China Oceanology & Limnology Society; Chairman of SCOR-China; Vice Chairman of SCOR; member of GOOS Steering Committee (IOC), He is the Chief Scientist of the National Basic Research Program of China: "Jellyfish bloom in the Chinese waters, mechanism, key processes and ecological consequences"; Chief Scientist of the strategic Priority Research Program Class A of CAS: "Western Pacific Ocean System: Structure, Dynamics and Consequences".
