Based on the investigation along the lake beach of Dongting Lake since 1992, the resources and its utilization of lake beaches in the lake region are analyzed. Taking three reed farms in Yuanjiang City, Hunnan Province as an example, the authors have identified that in the history of lake beach utilization there exists four different modes of ecological construction of lake beach in the lake region, i. e.,the “reed-forestry-fishery” mode，the u forestry-forage-poultry-fisheryff mode, the “forage-poultry-livestock” mode and the “development and utilization of grass resources” mode. In the mean time，the authors have noticed problems in the process of ecological construction of the lake beach. Trends of ecological construction of the lake beach are further suggested after analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the four modes. As a result, he authors point out that with the utilization of lake beach resources, much attention must be paid to the ecological construction. Finally, the authors suggest that an authority on the basin scale concerning the development and utilization of the lake beach resources should be favorably set up.
