Abstract

Environmental protection has become the most concerned topic of human beings. The importance of environmental construction in marine engineering construction projects has gradually increased, and coastal landscape(CL) have received more and more attention. The large-scale construction of marine engineering has a great impact on the CL. Ocean engineering may cause some original landscape resources to disappear, and may also generate some things that damage the original landscape, and may also cause the impact of the landscape environment on the CL. In this regard, this paper takes the reclamation project as an example, and uses the analytic hierarchy process to screen out the evaluation indicators of the impact of the marine project on the CL environment, that is, the topographic landscape, reef island landscape, human landscape, and traffic landscape, and construct the evaluation index system. The evaluation experiment on the environmental impact of marine engineering on the CL shows that the reclamation project destroys the topographical landscape and reef island landscape, and its negative impact degree is 36.36% and 14.84% respectively, while the combined analysis of the human landscape and the traffic landscape results in the reclamation project. The positive impact of the construction of the sea project on the coastal human landscape and traffic landscape is 18.52%.
