Monitoring and analysis of coastal reclamation from 1995–2015 in Tianjin Binhai New Area, China

Abstract Increasing coastal reclamation activities have been undertaken to solve the conflict between people and land resources, creating significant challenges for coordinating coastal reclamation, economic development and environmental protection. This paper analyzes the effects of coast reclamati...
