Abstract: The marine biological resources in Xisha Islands were evaluated. Xisha Islands abound with rich marine resources such as corals,shellfish and tropical fishes. The marine biological tourism resources in Xisha Islands are categorized as Grade IV (the excellent resources) by the Tourism Resources Grade Appraising System. It was proposed that the marine bioresources in Xisha Islands be developed for tourism. The tourism products include seabed sightseeing,diving and recreational fishery. Eco-environment protection should be highly valued in the course of tourism development,and a maritime early-warning mechanism be established to ensure the safety and sustainable utilization of the marine bioresources in the Xisha Islands.
