摘要: 灰沙岛作为热带海洋中的典型地貌, 具有重要的生态功能与科学研究价值, 然而全球气候变化与人类活动的加剧正在严重威胁其稳定性。文章以西沙群岛典型灰沙岛——北岛为对象, 基于2002—2023年多期高分辨率遥感影像与数字海岸线分析系统(digital shoreline analysis system, DSAS), 揭示了北岛岸滩的动态变化特征及其影响因素, 并提出了针对性的防护对策。结果表明: 1) 北岛岸线变化呈现显著阶段性特征: 2002—2015年岸线长度与面积缓慢增长, 2015—2019年因东南端码头修建与岛体扩建, 57%的岸线向海淤积扩张, 岸线长度与面积急剧增长, 并于2019年达到峰值, 然而2019—2023年侵蚀加剧, 47%的岸线后退, 总侵蚀面积达11846m²。其中, 沙嘴区域受季风主导呈现季节性冲淤循环(东北季风期侵蚀、西南季风期淤积), 而海滩岩因自身易侵蚀性、人类活动及自然因素的多重影响面积锐减, 至2023年仅存3827m²。2) 灰沙岛演变的本质是水动力与沉积物的相互作用, 其演变过程受自然与人为因素共同影响, 海岸水动力变化、珊瑚礁退化、海平面上升、极端天气频发以及人类干扰等因素均会影响灰沙岛的演变。3) 针对灰沙岛稳定性问题, 本文提出了分层次的生态防护体系, 从潮上带到潮下带逐层防护, 采用植被固沙、移动沙障固沙、菱形沙袋固沙、海滩岩修复等措施, 兼顾生态保护和岛礁防护的需求, 为南海珊瑚岛礁的保护与管理提供了切实可行的参考。

Abstract:

Coral sandy islands, as a typical tropical marine landform, play a significant ecological role and hold great scientific research value. However, the intensification of global climate change and human activities poses a serious threat to their stability. This study focuses on North Island, a typical coral sandy island in the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea, using multi-temporal high-resolution remote sensing imagery from 2002 to 2023 and the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) to reveal its coastline dynamics and influencing factors. The study also proposes targeted protective measures. The results show that: 1) the coastline of North Island exhibits distinct stage characteristics. From 2002 to 2015, the coastline expanded slowly; from 2015 to 2019, due to dock construction at the southeastern end and island expansion, 57% of the coastline extended seaward through sediment deposition, with the coastline length and area sharply increasing, peaking in 2019. However, from 2019 to 2023, erosion intensified, with 47% of the coastline retreating and a total erosion area of 11846 m2. The spit area, influenced by monsoons, exhibited seasonal erosion-deposition cycles (erosion during the northeast monsoon and deposition during the southwest monsoon), while the beach rock area decreased drastically due to erosion susceptibility, human activities, and natural factors, leaving only 3827 m2 by 2023. 2) The evolution of coral sandy islands is fundamentally driven by the interaction between hydrodynamics and sediments, affected by both natural factors (e.g., coastal hydrodynamics, coral reef degradation, sea-level rise, extreme weather) and human disturbances. 3) This study proposes a hierarchical ecological protection system for coral sandy islands, with measures spanning from the supratidal to the subtidal zone, including vegetation-based sand fixation, mobile sand barriers, diamond-shaped sandbags, and beach rock restoration. These measures balance ecological conservation with island protection needs, providing practical and feasible recommendations for the protection and management of coral sandy islands in the South China Sea.
