    The spatial differentiation of ESV in the northern bays in East China Sea
    The spatial differentiation of ESV in the southern bays in East China Sea
    The change of the reclamation intensity in the bays in East China Sea (Note: a - Northern bays in East China Sea, and a - 1 to 6 are Hangzhou Bay, Xiangshan Harbor, Sanmen Bay, Taizhou Bay, Yueqing Bay and Wenzhou Bay in turn. b - Southern Bay in East China Sea, and b - 1 to 6 are Sansha Bay, Luoyuan Bay, Xinghua Bay, Meizhou Bay, Quanzhou Bay and Xiamen Bay in turn. The curves of the bays where sea reclamation intensity exceeded 40 hm2/km were marked in red.)
    Relationship between sea reclamation intensity and ESV of the bays in East China Sea (Note: a - Northern bays in East China Sea, and a - 1 to 6 is Hangzhou Bay, Xiangshan Harbor, Sanmen Bay, Taizhou Bay, Yueqing Bay and Wenzhou Bay in turn. b - Southern bays of East China Sea, and b - 1 to 6 is Sansha Bay, Luoyuan Bay, Xinghua Bay, Meizhou Bay, Quanzhou Bay and Xiamen Bay in turn. Marked in red indicates high correlation.)

      20≤PD<50Grade 3Certain sea reclamation pressure exists with a certain effect on the subsequent development.
      50≤PD<100Grade 4Sea reclamation pressure is strong and attention should be paid to conservation and intensive use of sea reclamation areas.
      PD≥100Grade 5Sea reclamation pressure is very strong. No new sea reclamation projects should be added, and when necessary, it can be conducted based on the existing sea reclamation projects.
