| Abstract | Coastal
zones, which have high ecological value and environmental function and play a
key role in human development, face intense ecological stress from human
activities. This study constructed an assessment index system for coastal zones
and proposed a coastal ecological stress index (CESI) model. This method was
then applied to the Shandong coastal zone. The results showed an increase in
ecological stress from 2001 to 2016 and implied a further growth trend. The
stress caused by terrigenous pollution was the most prominent, with the
ecological stress index showing significant spatial difference. Qingdao exerted
the highest ecological stress on the population and economy, while Yantai
showed the highest stress on the coastal index. The CESI model effectively
reflects the temporal and spatial characteristics of the coastal ecological
stress and provides a theoretical basis for the management of different
regions.
