Abstract
Many merchant ships sail in the waters surrounding Jeju Island and many fishing vessels catch fish using gill nets, trolling lines, and so on. Meanwhile, marine waste has collected in the coastal waters of Jeju Island. However, there has been little research on the collection of marine waste in coastal waters. In this study, marine waste deposited in Jeju Island's northwest sea was collected using Jeju National University's training ship, and related vessels were analyzed for each gear type. According to the results, most coastal waters had abandoned fishing grounds, which were from fishing vessels, and a large proportion of them was gill net and trap fishing gear. To analyze how much marine waste is accumulating in a certain area and ship's stay time, we use automatic identification system (AIS) data to extract the time spent in the target sea, and the amount of marine waste per hour was analyzed in a unit distance of 1 ㎢. The average amount of marine waste generated per hour in the unit area was found to be 0.94 kg for gillnet fishing gear, 3.49 kg for trap fishing gear, 0.10 kg for trawl fishing gear, 0.11 kg for longline fishing gear, and 0.02 kg for other fishing gear.
