Abstract

The survey was done in order to find what kinds of birds visit Taeanhaean National Park during breeding season, where we fixed up 10 coastal areas and islands within the National Park. Three groups concurrently performed the field research from 5th to 9th of July in 2009. Total 58 species and 7,323 individuals were recorded in Taeanhaean National Park. 48 species including 6,187 individuals were observed in coastal areas and 33 species including 1,136 individuals in island areas. The most dominant species in the National Park are Larus crassirostris which accounts for 60% of the birds inhabiting there, and they seem to have been bred in the islands near the National Park. The birds observed only around the coastal areas include Anas poecilorhyncha, Fulica atra, Egretta intermedia and the others which consist of 25 species and amount to 318 individuals, and the birds found exclusively in island areas include Phalacrocorax filamentosus, Apus pacificus¸ Locustella pleskei and other birds, which consist of 10 species and the number of those individuals observed was 308. The inhabited islands areas such as Gauido were characterized by high ratio of waterbird population, which seems to be correlated with the factors such as the extent of island, the richness of water resources, and the diversity of habitats. Based on the data collected during the research and other data from the previous observations, the kinds of dominant species remain nearly unchanged. And in spite of the oil spill accident in 2007, the increase in the number of waterbirds compared to 2004 may be the evidence that the area is recovering from the environmental pollution. At present, the tidal power plants are being built or scheduled to be built and large-scale reclamation is also under way. What is worse, those areas are seeing the increase of pension construction, which is likely to be the potential cause of damage and disturbance against some key habitats for the waterbirds. Therefore, it is a major priority that we build the bird information system to efficiently manage the knowledge-based asset collected from bird-watching groups and to better monitor the areas that need enhanced database through which the National Park can be appropriately administered.

태안해안국립공원의 번식기에 서식하는 조류 현황을 파악하기 위하여 공원내 해안선 지역과 10개의 도서 지역을 선정하여 2009년 7월 5일부터 9일까지 3개 팀으로 나누어 동시 조사하였다. 전체 관찰종은 58종 7,323개체였고, 해안선 지역은 48종 6,187개체, 도서 지역은 33종 1,136개체였다. 공원내 최우점종은 괭이갈매기로서 약 60%에 이르며, 공원과 인접한 도서에서 집단 번식한 개체로 추정된다. 한편, 연안 지역에서만 관찰된 조류는 흰뺨검둥오리, 물닭, 중백로 등 25종 318개체이고, 도서 지역에서만 관찰된 조류는 가마우지, 칼새, 섬개개비 등 10종 308개체였다. 도서지역에서는 가의도를 비롯한 유인도서에서 종과 개체수가 높게 나타났는데, 도서 면적과 수자원 유무, 다양한 서식지와 관련 있는 것으로 판단된다. 과거 자료와 금번 조사 결과, 주요 우점종은 유사한 경향을 보이고 있으며, 2007년 기름유출 사고 지역임에도 2004년보다 수조류가 증가한 점에서 회복되어가는 것으로 판단된다. 현재 태안해안국립공원과 인접한 연안은 매립과 조력발전소가 조성 및 예정되고 있고, 도서지역은 펜션증가 등이 예상되면서 중요한 서식지 훼손과 교란이 예상된다. 이러한 위협요인에 대비하고, 공원의 적절한 관리를 위해서는 조류정보가 부족한 도서 지역에 대한 조류모니터링을 강화하거나 탐조가의 조류결과를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 조류정보시스템이 우선적으로 필요하다고 판단된다.
