A Review of the Effects of Changes of Sediment and Topography of Nourished Beach on Intertidal Macrobenthic Fauna
Currently,beach nourishment projects are undergoing rapid development.Nourished beaches are distributed from northern temperate zone to southern tropical zone along China's sandy coastline.Nourished beaches can strengthen the coastal protection,provide entertainment areas and restore the ecological habitats.The macrobenthic fauna and recovery level play an im-portant role in assessing nourishment benefits.The paper introduces the state and gap of nour-ished beaches monitoring and assessment,and the methodology and results of international re-search.Furthermore,the paper presents the hypothesis and research area of the effects of nour-ished beaches on the macrobenthic fauna for Chinese researchers.The paper aims to provide the-oretical guidance and technical support for scientific sand nourishment and beach protection,and promote the development of the interdisciplinary fields of marine geology and marine biology.
