Abstract
The pollution sources around the Dapeng bay and the current water quality of the bay are presented. Two-dimensional mathematical models for modelling the tidal flow and pollutant concentration fields have been developed and used to predict the water quality impact generated by coastal economic development of the area. Water quality planning for the bay is conducted and some managerial measures for environmental protection are put forward. The results show that at present there is minimal pollution, and the water quality is good. If the region around the bay is to be developed as proposed, it would have minor impact on the marine water quality. The aim is to have the water quality higher than that of Class II standard in National Marine Water Quality Standard of China (NMWQSC). In order to maintain the present condition of the bay, the ecological equilibrium around the bay must be preserved.
