Abstract

th the rapid development of the economy, it has brought huge pollution load pressure to the marine environment quality. The land-based pollutants have increased year by year, and the marine pollution problem has become more and more serious. The governance of the marine environment has become a serious problem. This paper investigated the water quality of Xiamen. The results showed that the average concentration of heavy metals was 2.16×10-3 mg/L for copper element, 2.84×10-5 mg/L for lead element, 7.61×10-5 mg/L for cadmium element, 1.97×10-3 mg/L for arsenic element and 3.66×10-3 mg/L for zinc element. The monitoring concentration of mercury element at each monitoring point is lower than 1×10-5mg/L. The main pollutants in the general indicators are active phosphate and inorganic nitrogen. This paper can provide data support for the future management of marine environmental problems in Xiamen Government, and it has positive significance for its future governance.
