- Abstract
By using Land sat TM and high resolution ALOS images, and based on the comparison of the precision of sea area extracted from various water indices, a modified index MNDWI was adopted to study the shoal reclamation in Jinzhou Bay sea area in 1988, 1995, and 2006. In the period 1988-2006, the reclaimed area in Jinzhou Bay sea area reached 23郾63 km2, among which, 12郾38 km2, 5郾48 km2, 3郾47 km2, 1郾37 km2, and 0郾93 km2 were used for development zone, industry, port construction, seawater aqua culture, and beach bathing, respectively. The large acreage shoal reclamation reflected the urgent demand of land for coastal urban construction and economic development along the Jinzhou Bay, while at the meantime, brought about greater impacts on the local eco鄄environment, which needed to be further monitored and assessed.
