A comprehensive evaluation system and model of Coastal Wetland Ecological Vulnerability (CWEV) was constructed and applied to reveal spatial heterogeneity of the ecological vulnerability of the Yellow River Delta Wetland (YRDW). The results showed that the score of the ecological vulnerability (EVS) of the YRDW was 0.49, which was generally at a medium vulnerability level. The wetland area of high vulnerability was up to 943km², accounting for 35.2% of the total area, followed by the medium vulnerable area with an area of 750km², accounting for 28.1% of the total area. From the coastline perpendicularly to the land, the “seaward” gradient effect gradually decreased, the vulnerability-increasing “hydrologic connectivity” effect increased with the distance from the river channel, and the “land source influence” effect gradually decayed along with the vulnerability of population and economy gathering areas.
