The complexity and diversity of wetland types and eco-environment in Yellow river delta created rich wetland resources,including biological resources,land resources,shell sand resources and sea resources. However,owing to man's unreasonable utilization,eco-environment in Yellow river delta are getting worse gradually,some wetland resources are degenerating or even lost,so it is imperative that wetlands are conserved and utilized reasonably.
