Effects of Waves by Boats on Mangrove in Dongzhai Harbor of Hainan

Abstract:

The effect of boat-generated waves on mangrove forests could be reflected by width change of tidal inlets by using satellite image in this study. Our results showed that the distributions of mangrove zone on the side of tidal inlets were degenerated by boat-generated waves from 2009 to 2011 in Dongzhai Harbor Mangrove Natural Reserve. The main reason of this change was strong erosion of tidal flat caused by the waves generated by high speed and frequencies boats for tourists. To protect the mangrove forests of the tidal inlets, the drive speed and pass frequencies of the boats in waterway should be restricted and decreased.
