Features: This book is the result of research on temporary marine disposal areas conducted for the 2.5 million-ton navigation project in Zhanjiang Port, which is currently the largest single project in China in terms of dredged sediment volume. The book introduces the significance, principles, methods, technical approach, marine surveys, and laboratory testing and analysis methods of the research. It describes the marine meteorological, hydrological, seabed topographic, and geological conditions of the study area, evaluates the current state of water environmental quality, sediment quality, and ecological environment in the area, and analyzes the impact of disposal activities on the marine environment, fishery resources, and fishery production. It comprehensively assesses the feasibility of marine disposal of dredged sediment from the perspective of social, environmental, and economic benefits. Numerical simulation is used to analyze the sedimentation and diffusion process of dredged sediment after disposal, the drift paths of labeled particles, and the accumulation of dredged sediment on the seabed. Among these, the specialized research on capacity assessment and the disposal area management plan in sub-zones are the innovative aspects of this study. The book will help improve the level and quality of future temporary marine disposal area selection and planning, and can also serve as a reference for relevant researchers and students in marine environmental studies. This book is the result of research on temporary marine disposal areas conducted for the 2.5 million-ton navigation project in Zhanjiang Port, which is currently the largest single project in China in terms of dredged sediment volume.
