Abstract: Mudflat is known as one important backup land resource in China. A rational utilization and exploration of mudflat would be of great importance to relive the conflict between huge population and limited farm lands.However, together with the enormous profits and positive ecological effect, mudflat exploration also triggers lots of environmental problems, such as damage on ecological diversity caused by too many imported species, water body eutrophication led by intertidal belt sea water cultivation, and so on. By expounding on the formulation, distribution and exploration of coastal mudflat in China, the author analyzes some major problems of mudflat utilization methods and exploration progress. Rationalized propositions on an appropriate mudflat exploration and sustainable development are offered in the conclusion that the author brings out, along with an outlook towards the future development of mudflat exploration and utilization in China.
