초록

전 세계 해양의 대부분을 차지하는 공해는 해양바이오산업 성장에 필수적인 귀중한 해양 자원을 보유하고 있다. 이러한 글로벌 노력의 최전선에는 한국의 공해 자원 확보 및 기초효능(기초물질) 탐사사업이 있다. 이 연구는 대중의 인식을 측정하고 프로젝트의 이점을 정량화하여 향후 정책 결정에 대한 통찰력을 제공하고자 했다. 결과에 따르면, 연평균 지불의사액(WTP)은 3,778.8원으로, 전체 국민으로 확장하면 약 815.4억 원에 해당하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 의미는 두 가지이다. WTP를 기반으로 공해상 해양생명자원 확보의 경제적 가치는 연간 약 815억 원에 달할 정도로 상당하다. 이는 투자에 대한 WTP를 고려할 때 향후 정책 수립을 위한 중요한 참고 자료로 제공 가능하다. 해양생물자원에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있는 반면, 대중의 인식은 상대적으로 낮은 편이다. 그러나 본 사업은 해양바이오산업에 필수적인 데이터베이스를 구축하고 국제 해양생물자원을 확보하는데 있어서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 대중의 관심과 지속적인 지원은 이 사업 뿐만 아니라 향후 정책 구현에도 매우 중요하다. 대중의 인식을 높이는 전략은 필수적이며, 연구 결과는 향후 정책 결정에 귀중한 의견을 제공한다.

The high seas, covering the majority of the world's oceans, hold invaluable marine resources crucial for the growth of the marine bio-industry. The High seas bioresources program of South Korea is at the forefront of these global efforts. This study aims to gauge public awareness and quantify the project benefits, offering insights for future policy decisions. The results revealed that the estimated annual average willingness to pay (WTP) was 3,778.8 KRW, equating to approximately 81.54 billion KRW when extrapolated to the entire national population. The implications of the study are twofold: The project benefits, based on WTP, are substantial, amounting to approximately 81.5 billion KRW annually. This provides critical reference material for future policy formulation, given the considerable WTP in comparison to the current investment. Although interest in international sea marine biological resources is growing, public awareness remains relatively low. However, the project plays a crucial role in building essential databases for the marine bio-industry and securing international sea marine biological resources. Public interest and sustained support are pivotal, not only for this project but also for future policy implementation. Strategies to enhance public awareness are essential, and the study results offer valuable input for future policy decisions.
