Research on Beach Erosion Risk and Shoreline Stability: A Case Study of the Zhongjieshan Islands Marine Reserve by DING Xuelin, SONG Zekun, ZHANG Zefei, ZHANG Feng, ZHU Yong

“…It is suggested that sand recruitment should be carried out manually after such dynamic processes (such as typhoon wave) occur. The prediction results of Shapu Beach shoreline and parabolic model are basically consistent, thus the beach is in a relatively dynamic equilibrium state, while the parabolic models of Ercunxiao Beach and Dongjihou Beach predict the shoreline to be at the land-side of the current shoreline, thus the beach shoreline is in a dynamic adjustment and is likely to be eroded, so it is recommended to carry out targeted monitoring regularly.…”
