Abstract:With the continuous advancement of ecological civilization construction and the gradual implementation of marine ecological environment protection measures, the ecological use of the sea has been incorporated into specific management requirement. Based on the special estuarine marine dynamic environment and rich tidal flat wetland resources in the Yangtze River estuary, the concept of ecological sea use is implemented in the construction of water conservancy improvement projects to promote the efficient protection and utilization of estuarine sea resources. Based on the policy background of the management of overlapping areas in the Yangtze estuary, the relevant policies and norms of ecological sea use are analyzed and the practical concept and ideas of the hydraulic engineering are proposed. Combined with the successful experience of the built hydraulic engineering, the research and application of key technologies such as ecological graphic design, ecological dam construction and habitat improvement measures are summarized, and the targeted analysis and suggestions are put forward, which provide better reference and experience for the construction of similar hydraulic engineering.
