Abstract: This paper closely follows the national strategic background of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, and focuses on the multiple realistic needs of soil and water conservation, water and sediment control, ecological protection, ecosystem restoration and ecological function improvement in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin. With the multi-dimensional and multi-level compensatory effects of fruit tree economic forest on watershed scale soil and water conservation and ecological environment as the main research content and direction, in-depth research is conducted on the effects of watershed scale fruit tree economic forest coverage on reducing local soil and water loss, enhancing soil and water conservation ability, changing vegetation cover landscape pattern and the resulting ecological response in the loess hilly and gully region of Longzhong. This paper analyzes the compensatory effects of fruit tree economic forest on watershed scale soil and water conservation and ecological function increment change, and studies the scope, degree and magnitude of the impact, so as to provide theoretical basis and technical support for further coordinating the relationship between regional agriculture and forestry, economic development and ecological protection, and promoting the construction of a system management system of mountain, water, forest, farmland, lake and grassland in the loess hilly and gully region of Longzhong. At the same time, it provides reference for ecological protection and green high-quality development of the Loess Plateau in the middle reaches of the Yellow River of China.

Abstract: Context: Humanity has always interacted with its environment and the ecosystem that surrounds it. However, since the industrial era, this interaction has intensified and has had significant consequences on nature and ecosystems such as: deforestation, mining, pollution, overexploitation of natural resources are all factors that have a negative impact on biodiversity and natural resources. Despite this strong uncontrolled pressure from human activity, very few studies have been done to estimate the damage caused. However, the future of coastal fishing depends on the preservation of its ecosystem. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of human activities on the coastal ecosystem of Tabounsou in order to propose corrective measures for sustainable management. Method: The methodological approach adopted was as follows: Consultation of executives and analysis of archives; Survey of stakeholders (fishermen, loggers, salt producers, farmers, local residents); Species inventory; Inventory of anthropogenic activities; Analysis of the impact of human activities on the life of aquatic organisms in the study area; sustainable management proposal and measure; Result: The consultation of executives revealed that the biggest problems are: the reduction in the surface area of the estuary through construction work, the practice of agriculture, woodcutting, salt farming, the increase in the number of actors exploiting the resources, non-compliance with fisheries legislation and the capture of juvenile fish. The survey of fishermen revealed that 83% of fishermen abandon their nets on the coasts after use and only 17% burn their nets after use. This same survey shows that the majority of fishermen frequent the coasts for fishing with a percentage of 75%. The survey of loggers reveals that 68% of the wood cut is Rhizophora, 24% of the wood cut is Avicennia and 8% is Laguncularia in the Tabounsou area. Species inventory showed us that three stocks of fish belonging to 9 families and 9 species were recorded. The species Pseudotolithus elongatus and Arius parkii are the most captured by the actors with the respective percentages of 18% and 15%. 30 farmers were surveyed, 90% of whom use fertilizers as soil fertilizer compared to only 10% who do not use fertilizer. Salt farming takes place in the dry season, in Bougna toro toro 2 actors claim a daily production of 100kg of salt; followed by Khoumawadé with a daily production of 80kg and finally followed by Toumbibougni with a daily production of 70kg.
