Then the current condition of Fujian coastal shelterbelt sustainable management has been evaluated with the index system. The result shows that the comprehensive index is 0.7896. The tendency of the sustainable management is basically sustainable. The key factors of coastal shelterbelt sustainable management are found according to the evaluation.
