Abstract: Fujian Province is the first pilot area of ecological civilization in China. One of its important tasks is to promote the ecologically fragile area to construct the ecological compensation mechanism. Mangrove wetland is a coastal ecologically critical area and its natural distribution is shrinking. Therefore, it had great challenge in wetland protection and restoration and required the government to have a higher management function. Taking Fujian Zhangjiangkou mangrove as an example, the significance in the exploration on mangrove wetland ecological compensation mechanism was very important. In this paper, we analyzed the concept of the wetland ecological compensation mechanism from three aspects: 1)Analysis of the ecological compensation mechanism was based on DPSIR model. 2)After field investigation, the residents' basic status and the willingness of ecological compensation in Zhangjiangkou mangrove wetland were surveyed by contingent valuation method(CVM), and the influencing factors were analyzed by establishing the Tobit model. 3)Three kinds of ecological compensation standard scheme for different regions were discussed. The results showed that the surrounding residents had a low level of education and their environmental awareness was weak. These residents were preferable to select land compensation, employment arrangements and infrastructure construction on the premise of non-cash compensation. The willingness compensation between different villages had notable difference, and that was very significantly affected by respondents on education, population of family, acknowledge of mangrove wetland ecological benefit and the satisfaction of an ecosystem.
