Strengthening efficient usage, protection, and restoration of Yangtze River shoreline

Abstract With the steady progress of the Yangtze River Protection Strategy, more and more attention has been paid to the protection and restoration of the Yangtze River shoreline. In the last five years, a large number of unreasonable and illegal uses of shoreline have been halted, and thus the Yangtze River ecosystem has been gradually restored. Both a shoreline protection system and a highly efficient utilization mode are urgently required. In combination with the Yangtze River Protection Law as well as relevant regulations and studies, this article provides a series of suggestions concerning protection, utilization, restoration, and management of the Yangtze River shoreline.
