ABSTRACT

With the deepening of China's port and waterway construction, a large amount of dredged soil has been produced. However, the current treatment of dredged soil in China often adopts the method of water throwing, which has an adverse impact on the ecological environment and a waste of resources. Taking the Bohai Bay as the argumentation background, through relevant research work, the current methods and existing problems of the dredged soil in the Bohai Bay were summarized, and the impact of dredging on the marine environment and the value of the dredged soil were analyzed. From the aspects of technology, environment, and social-economic benefits, the necessity and feasibility of the resource utilization of dredged soil were explained. The results show that the resource utilization of dredged soil in the Bohai Bay was not only conducive to the protection of the marine ecological environment, ensuring the normal operation of the port, but also conducive to the stable and sustainable development of the Bohai Bay regional economy.
