Feasible Rate of Tidal Flat Reclamation:Jiangsu Mud Coast as a Case Study.

Reclamation of tidal flat is one of the main ways to get a dynamic balance of the total amount of plowland. With the development of social economy and the increasing demand for plowland, the contradiction between tidal flat reclamation and environment protection becomes more and more outstanding. However，tidal flat reclamation should also follow the dynamic balance of total amount of tidal flat amount. The paper analyzed the history of reclamation and development of Jiangsu mud coast, and calculated the feasible rates of tidal flat reclamation on different stretches respectively, and pointed out that both the economic social benefits of reclamation and the natural erosion-accretion conditions of the coasts should be taken into consideration in deciding the intensity of tidal flat reclamation, so as to satisfy demands on both reclamation and protection of tidal flat resource.
