Abstract: Spartina alterniflora was a catastrophic invasive plant species along the coast of China, and it has seriously threatened marine ecological security, especially in Bohai rim region. Our present research reviews the history of Spartina alterniflora introduction, the status of invasion and the treatment in these area. Moreover, our research implied that the following measures should be considered in joint prevention and control mechanism to control Spartina alterniflora for all coastal provinces and municipalities. First, a consummate monitoring and precaution supervision system should be established in preventing the Spartina alterniflora invasion at our target area. Second, long-term governance system which included zoning prevention and control measures, comprehensive removal and long-term maintenance techniques, and optimal governance decision supports should be integrated in the comprehensive consideration during the project implementation. Additionally, the future research should give priority to the Spartina alterniflora development and utilization.
