Abstract
Even though styrofoam buoys represent a large portion of beached marine debris in Korea, efficient government actions have been lacking to address them. Three participatory workshops were organized from 2010 to 2012 to develop policy measures to manage styrofoam buoy marine debris. The first workshop held in 2010 was organized in order for workshop participants to understand and share the styrofoam debris issue. Participating stakeholders suggested policy measures to address styrofoam debris through brainstorming in the second workshop in 2011. In the third workshop organized in 2012, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to set priorities for 16 selected policy measures. A total of 56 people participated in AHP, and answers of 40 participants that passed the consistency test were analyzed. 'Beach cleanup by public works program' ranked highest in priority, followed by 'Development of alternative buoy and aquaculture technologies'. Other research projects also ranked high in priority. Feasibility of policy measures was considered the most important criterion in the priority setting, followed by effectiveness, efficiency, and acceptability. This study demonstrated that participatory workshops in which diverse stakeholders take part in could provide a valuable tool in developing practical policy measures on styrofoam buoy marine debris.
