Gaussian Function Fusing Fully Convolutional Network and Region Proposal-Based Network for Ship Target Detection in SAR Images by Peipei Zhang, Guokun Xie, Jinsong Zhang

“…Recently, ship target detection in Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images has become one of the current research hotspots and plays an important role in the real-time detection of sea regions. The traditional SAR ship detection methods usually consist of two modules, one module named land-sea segmentation for removing the complicated land regions, and one module named ship target detection for realizing fine ship detection. …”

The assessment of carrying capacity of marine fishery resources in China by Zhaoyang Liu, Wenhai Lu, Tao Wang, Yujia Zhang, Long He, Lu Yang, Lijing Deng

“…IntroductionThe sustainable development of marine fisheries has been a major concern, with the carrying capacity of marine fishery resources becoming a focal point of research.MethodsThis study, utilizing remote sensing data, marine capture fisheries catch data, and fishing effort data from 2013 to 2020, aims to determine the maximum sustainable yield using a surplus production model and provide a comprehensive assessment of the status and potential of China’s marine fishery resources.ResultsThe results indicate that China’s marine fishery resources exhibit significant regional variability, with the East China Sea contributing the largest share of catch and maintaining sustainability, while regions such as the South China Sea, Yellow Sea, and Bohai Sea have exceeded their ecological carrying capacities. …”

Impact of Onshore Terminal Operation of Offshore Oil and Gas Engineering on Surrounding Marine Environment and Suggestions by CAO Baojiu, LI Guancheng, WANG Qiabin, LIU Qin, MU Guizhen, LIANG Juping, HOU Minchi

“…In order to understand the impact of the onshore terminal operation on the marine ecological environment in surrounding sea areas and provide marine ecological environment protection experience for the development and operation of subsequent offshore oil and gas engineering such as an onshore terminal,this paper analyzed the pollutant treatment,surrounding marine ecological environment,risk prevention measures,and emergency capacity building during the onshore terminal operation of an offshore oil and gas engineering from 2016 to 2021.The results showed that the range of averaged COD and oil content in the sea water around the onshore terminal was 0.91~1.69 mg/L and 0.001~0.027 mg/L,respectively,which were in line with the first class standard of sea water quality.The range of averaged oil content in surface sediment was (20.0~169.7)×10^-6,which satisfied the first class standard of marine sediment quality.The range of averaged diversity index of phytoplankton,zooplankton,and zoobenthos was 1.13~3.54,0.19~3.42,and 1.47~3.26,respectively.The marine species were abundant,and the ecological environment quality was fine in general.Estuarine environmental changes may be an important factor inducing the fluctuation of marine communities in monitored sea areas.In addition,systematic and reasonable risk prevention measures and emergency capacity building also guaranteed the safe and healthy production of the onshore terminal.…”
