ABSTRACT: This paper selected 25 evaluation indexes from the three aspects of marine ecological economy, marine ecological environment and marine ecological society to construct an evaluation index system of the construction of coastal marine ecological civilization, using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy value method to determine evaluation index weights, and measured the construction level of marine ecological civilization in Shandong Province during the period of 2006-2016. The results showed that the construction level of marine ecological civilization in Shandong Province during 2006-2016 as a whole is on the rise. In terms of the increase of the scores of each subsystem, the development of marine ecological society increased the most, followed by the development of marine ecological economy, while the development of marine ecological environment was relatively slow. This paper also analyzed the coordinated development level of the paired subsystems such as the marine ecological economy plus marine ecological environment, marine ecological society plus marine ecological environment and marine ecological economy plus marine ecological society in Shandong Province during the period of 2006-2016 by using the coupling coordination analysis model. The results showed that the level of coordinated development between the three pairs of subsystems has basically gone through the development process from low coordination to moderate coordination, and finally to high coordination.
