Abstract: Based on the hydrographic and sediment data in the strait channels of Zhoushan Islands, the characteristics of the hydrodynamics and sedimentation were discussed and the sedimentation effects were primary probed. It was pointed out that the sedimentation effects are the sediments transportation, the sedimentation characters and their varying processes under the action of the strait channel environment. It is different from the fluvial sedimentation under the single direction flow action, from the estuarine sedimentation in the mixing saline and fresh water environment and from the sedimentation in the open coastal environment. The most important character is the clear change of the sedimentary facies in the direction of the vertical of the flow in a short distance and in the strait channel mouth area.
