- Abstract
In order to evaluate the potential ecological risks of near shore area of Fujian Province, four surveys on marine water quality at 20 monitoring sites were carried out during the major and minor tides in the autumn of 2010 and the spring of 2012. The results showed that the background values of heavy metals in the waters were generally low, but eutrophication was obvious. Eutrophication in the autumn was more severe than in the spring. The indices of inorganic nitrogen and active phosphate at all monitoring sites in autumn exceeded the quality standard for sea water.
