Abstract: On the base of discussing about recent exploit and research progress on Shoaly Land, the authors put forward the frame of the research on Shoaly Land, in which the research on Shoaly Land is divided into two levels: basic research and application research. Basic research includes the researches on basic conception, continuous evolution, and exploitation theories of Shoaly Land. And application research can be divided into three parts: social research, economic research, and ecological research. In the end, it is brought forward that some items should be researched first, such as the research on conception, statistics unit, constant inspection, law control, management system, public participation, industry policy, resource evaluation, and environmental impact assessment of Shoaly Land exploitation.

Key words: Shoaly Land, research progress, research frame, preferential research direction

摘要： 在简略分析国内外沿海滩涂开发、研究进展的基础上，提出了我国沿海滩涂研究的理论框架，将滩涂研究划分为基础研究与应用研究2个层次。其中，基础研究包括滩涂基本概念问题、动态演变问题和开发理论问题等3个方面，应用研究则包括滩涂社会问题、经济问题和生态问题等研究内容。最后，对比研究框架，指出当前我国的滩涂基础研究薄弱，应用研究也不全面，宜优先发展滩涂定义界定、统计口径与动态监测和法律管制、管理体制、公众参与、产业政策、资源定级估价与滩涂开发环境影响评价等滩涂研究的薄弱环节。
