The ecosystem-based marine comprehensive zoning practice and evaluation: A case study of Nantong, China
The ecosystem-based Marine spatial planning (MSP) is an effective approach to mitigate conflicts between marine ecological conservation and resource exploitation. This study applies the Marxan model to delineate marine ecological zones with multiple protection standards in the Nantong Sea, China. By integrating resource-use zoning, two comprehensive zoning schemes with varying degrees of ecological protection are developed. The process involves adjusting the ecological protection costs within the Marxan model by accounting for impacts of resource-use zoning on ecological conservation. The goal is to optimize both ecological and comprehensive zoning, while evaluating the spatial structure and overall benefits of comprehensive zoning optimized schemes. The recommended comprehensive zoning optimized scheme allocates 34.19 % and 2.95 % of the area to ecological preservation zones and ecological control zones, respectively. Marine development zones and reserve zones account for 27.22 % and 35.64 % of the area. Ecological preservation zones effectively fulfill protection objectives, while control zones and reserve zones serve to buffer preservation areas from development zones, safeguarding sufficient spatial resources for future marine development. During the evaluation of the optimized scheme, ecological preservation zones and reserve zones each account for approximately 35 % of the area, with the developed coastline comprising no more than 30 %. More than 35 % of typical cross-sections are in an ecological preservation state, while 40 % are in a reserved state. Additionally, the recommended scheme optimizes protection costs, the compactness of preservation zones, and economic benefits. This study, using the Nantong Sea as a case study, outlines the technical process from marine single zoning to comprehensive zoning, and from comprehensive zoning to optimized comprehensive zoning and scheme evaluation. It provides a scientific approach for assessing MSP schemes and offering detailed references for mid- to small-scale MSP projects.
期刊介绍:
Ecological engineering has been defined as the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humans and nature. The journal is meant for ecologists who, because of their research interests or occupation, are involved in designing, monitoring, or restoring ecosystems, and can serve as a bridge between ecologists and engineers.
Specific topics covered in the journal include: habitat reconstruction; ecotechnology; synthetic ecology; bioengineering; restoration ecology; ecology conservation; ecosystem rehabilitation; stream and river restoration; reclamation ecology; non-renewable resource conservation. Descriptions of specific applications of ecological engineering are acceptable only when situated within context of adding novelty to current research and emphasizing ecosystem restoration. We do not accept purely descriptive reports on ecosystem structures (such as vegetation surveys), purely physical assessment of materials that can be used for ecological restoration, small-model studies carried out in the laboratory or greenhouse with artificial (waste)water or crop studies, or case studies on conventional wastewater treatment and eutrophication that do not offer an ecosystem restoration approach within the paper.
