Abstract: It is one of the current hot topics in application of remote sensing to use remote sensing techniques in coastal dynamics research and marine environment retrieval. We retrieved the changes of Fujian reclamation and the mainland coastline from thematic mapper (TM) remote sensing image, which realizes coastline automatic extraction, land classification and marine environmental parameters retrieval using ENVI and ArcGIS softwares to process regional remote sensing images. We also retrieved sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll concentration from moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS ) ocean color remote sensing images in the same season and area, to discuss the reclamation’s potential effects on marine environment.

Key words: Fujian;coastal reclamation, thematic mapper (TM), moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS ) ;marine environment
