广东省1991～2005年5种主要海洋灾害概况

Five Kinds of Major Marine Disasters Impacting on Guangdong Province during 1991～2005

广东省近15年因风暴潮、海浪、赤潮、溢油、海水入侵等海洋灾害造成直接经济损失约438．9亿元人民币，死亡、失踪577人。其中风暴潮灾害最为严重，年直接经济损失超过20亿元的海洋灾害是由台风风暴潮引起的；灾情的地域差异是粤西较重，粤东次之，珠江口较轻。2001～2005年与1991—2005年相比，近5年海洋灾害的年均直接经济损失和死亡、失踪人数减少。但2006年又是海洋灾害重灾年。

In recent 15 years, Guangdong has suffered a direct economic loss about 43.89 billion yuan, and 577 fatality/missing persons caused by storm surges, waves, red tide, oil spills, and saline intrusion , among which, storm surge is the most serious one. It is no other marine disaster than storm surge which can bring about a direct economic loss of over 2 billion yuan in a single year. The storm surge impacts show geographical difference along the coast： the western region of Guangdong suffered the worst, in turn followed by Eastern Guangdong, and the region of the Pearl River Mouth. Comparing the loss of 2001 - 2005 to that of 1991- 2000, annual direct economic loss of the latest five years has significantly reduced as well as the number of annual fatality/missing persons. But at no time can we ignore the marine disaster prevention, as by now, 2006 is the return of the heavy marine disaster year.
