城市化导致的河口生境损失占80%-90%,使沿海城市更容易受到风暴潮和潮汐洪水的影响。 80-90% estuarine habitat loss due to urbanization increases coastal cities' vulnerability to storm surges and tidal flooding.

人类活动,特别是河口的城市化,使沿海城市更容易受到风暴潮和潮汐洪水的影响。 Human activities, particularly urbanization of estuaries, have heightened the vulnerability of coastal cities to storm surges and tidal flooding. 随着80%-90%的河口生境丧失,自然保护已经减少,而疏浚使航运通道深度翻了一番,加剧了洪水。 With 80-90% of estuarine habitats lost, natural protections have diminished, while dredging has doubled shipping channel depths, exacerbating flooding. 拟议的解决方案,如封闭式风暴冲浪障碍和湿地恢复,提供了一些保护,但不足以抵御长期海平面上升,因此有必要制定城市复原力综合战略。 Proposed solutions, like gated storm-surge barriers and wetland restoration, offer some protection but are insufficient against long-term sea-level rise, necessitating comprehensive strategies for urban resilience.
