Abstract

This paper analyzes the current status, characteristics, and problems of coastal reclamation in Korea and suggests effective management approaches. Reclamation is concentrated from the West Sea to the South Sea. In the 1980s and 1990s, most projects were intended for agricultural use, whereas in recent years reclamation for industrial and harbour sites(e.g., ship-building) have been increasing. The continuous onslaught of reclamation and development projects threatens the coastal environment, especially tidal flats and fishing areas, and fishery production has been reduced in some areas. The largest tidal flats have been used for dumping sites of dredged coastal sediments, urban development projects, and industrial complex composition. Thus, it is necessary to assess current policy using top-down approaches after establishing appropriate directions and standards for coastal management. Both short-term development profits and long-term conservation should be considered when attempting to balance development and conservation. In addition, improvements of marine environmental impact assessment and in the legal system are necessary.

본 연구는 우리나라 연안매립의 효과적인 관리방안을 고찰하기 위해 최근 공유수면 매립 현황과 특성, 매립이 집중된 사례지역의 환경 및 관련 환경평가서의 주요 문제점을 진단하였다. 공유수면매립은 남해와 서해 연안에서 집중되고 있고, 과거에는 농업용지와 산업용지의 확보가 많았으나, 최근에는 조선단지를 포함한 산업용지와 항만용지 등 매립목적이 다양화 되고 있다. 이러한 지속적인 개발사업을 위한 매립으로 인해 환경영향이 가중되고 있고, 특히 갯벌과 수산자원보호구역 등 어장이 상대적으로 큰 훼손을 받고 있는 상황이다. 갯벌지역에서의 매립 유형은 준설토 투기장, 도시개발 및 산업단지 조성이 많았다. 무분별한 매립을 지양하기 위해서는 연안통합적 접근과 적정 기준이 설정되어야 할 것이다. 단기적인 개발과 장기적인 보전 이익이 동시에 고려되어야 하는데, 특히, 사전에 환경성 문제를 충분히 다루기 위해 관련 법과 제도에 따른 해양환경평가의 개선이 필요하다.
