Based on the topographical and geomorphological data obtained in the surveys carried out in the Bohai Sea from 2004 to 2010 and by combining with previous studies as well,the seafloor topography and typical micro-topography in five topographical regions(the Liaodong Bay,the Bohai Bay,the Laizhou Bay,the Bohai Central Basin and the Bohai Strait) divided in the Bohai Sea are described in detail and compared to the topographical map of the Bohai Sea published in 1985,trying to find the changes in the seafloor topography in the last decades years and to analyze their causes.The results show that the seafloor of the Bohai Sea is quite flat,with a gentle tilt being from the Liaodong Bay,the Bohai Bay and the Laizhou Bay toward the Bohai Central Basin and the Bohai Strait located in the east.The averaged water depth is 18m.Compared with the water depth over forty years ago,the present water depth in parts of the coastal area becomes shallower due to environmental changes and human activities.In the Bohai Central Basin,however,the water depth becomes deeper due to the erosion there.
