... uitable served as utilization zone, and zone III covers an area of 539,9 ha with a score of 61 was suitable served as utilization zone. Management alternative for not-suitable category in the protected zone at location 8 can be managed by the establishing of coast protection, establishing of stilt house, and the improvement of roads connected to the main road; On the utilization zone of location 11, location 12, location 18, and location 23 can be managed by relocating the settlement as far as >100 m from the coast, establishing of coast protection, establishing of stilt house, and improving roads connected to the main road; On the special zone of location 1 can be managed by relocating the distance limit of ship track and activity, making of settling ponds for waste discharging, and establishing stilt house; and on the special zone of location 25 can be managed by relocating the distance limit of ship track and activity, making of settling ponds for waste discharging, and dust suppression (wetting) during coal loading, and unloading.
