Analysis on the suitability for port construction of shoreline resources of Zhoushan Archipelago

Abstract

Port coastline resources are important marine resources. Coastal ports are not only important infrastructures for national economic and social development, but also important pillar industries and prominent growth points for the marine economy. Zhoushan Archipelago has rich coastline resources, but its unique island environment limits its transportation conditions, which make the methods of suitability evaluation different from the evaluation method of continents’. Taking Zhoushan as an example, this paper studied the evaluation method of port shoreline resources on the island shoreline, so as to provide scientific basis for port coastline resource utilization and sea-use planning.
