This study was carried out to reveal the taxonomic status of the two mullets, Chelon affinis and Chelon haematocheilus from Korea by comparison of their morphological characteristics. Chelan affinis, occurred in the southern coastal area, is a distinct species characterized by having a keel on the middorsal line in front of the spinous dorsal fin. However, Chelon haematocheilus, found in the all coastal areas of Korea excluding Cheju island is easily distinguished from the former in having the deep flat head. By comparison of five groups of Chelan haematocheilus, Kunsan group is slightly differed from others in the height of anal fin and caudal peduncle length. Although Chelon affinis is similar with Chelan haematocheilus in the view of meristic characters, they are distinguished from each other in the number of pyloric caeca and lateral line scales.

Based on three scorpionfish specimens (131.8~163.4 mm SL) collected from the coastal waters of Jeju Island, we described Scorpaenopsis neglecta as the first record from Korea. They were characterized by having 12 dorsal fin spines, lacking of palatal teeth and of black pigment between the first and third dorsal fin spines, wider interorbital region than orbital diameter, no median interorbital ridge, uppermost opercular spine with multicusps, and a broad blackish band distally and numerous various sized black spots on inner side of pectoral fin. We proposed a new Korean name, "Ssol-chi-u-reug" for the species.

We studied field observation and countermeasure about the effluent of sediment and nutrient materials on the Okinawa Ishigaki Coast according rainy season though this observation, we found out the analysis of outflow topography, intensity of rainfall and effects on the tide, the property of effluent materials ete. The sediment and nutrient concentration of the Okinawa Ishigaki coast are different on the regional sites according to vary with time variation of intensity of rainfall and the ebb and flow. We could confirm to vary with utilized waterways land area and distribution of surrounding vegetation.

The residue levels of total PCBs in the surface samples were detected low concentration compared to the coastal area in Korea, and the PCBs pattern were very similarly to the arochlor mixture(1016+1232+1248+1260). The selected area divided into three area(Kanghwa:A, Yellow:B and Jangdo:C) by depending on the chlorine ratio. The PCBs were mainly detected dichlorinated and trichlorinated biphenyls in far sea, and heptachlorinated and octachlorinated biphenyls in the near the Incheon coastal area. The residue levels of PCBs were detected 0.72${\sim}$9.20 ng/g in the surface samples, 1.60~3.00 ng/g for Kanghwa and 0.34~9.20 ng/g for Jangdo in the core samples, and the PCBs concentration increased from bottom to top.

The intraspecific variability, habitats, and morphological characteristics of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) along the eastern coast of Korea were examined during June to August 1998. Morphological characteristics including shoot height, leaf length, leaf width, number of leaf veins, and shape of leaf apex were measured, and eelgrass habitats were analyzed using character correlation, principal components and cluster analyses. The morphological characteristics varied with the habitat types and water depth. Eelgrass beds distributed mostly in lagoons, ports and bays along the east coast of the Korean peninsula. The quantitative morphological features that enabled recognition of the two phonetic groups were short- narrow and long-broad leaf types. Leaf apex in particular varied with the habitat characteristics.

Age and growth in length of anchovy juveniles were analysed from the samples collected from the coastal waters of Chonnam, Korea, in 1988 and 1989. Ages in days were determined by counting growth increments in otolith from 248 individuals. Growth in length versus age in days was well represented by Gompertz curve: $$L =5.76{\times}E xp(1.66 \times(1- E xp(-0.44\;t)))$$, or $$L=3.7{\times}E xp(1.99\times(1-E xp(-0.0614\;t)))$$. The mean growth rate was 0.38 mm/day from 20 days to 40 days. Growth rate was maximum at 10 days, and then decreased gradually. The growth of anchovy juvenile were nearly constant inspite of the sampling dates or stations.

The purpose if the study is to apply GIS technique to sample area, Choensoo-Bay basin for an efficient and practical coastal zone management if pollution control. The basins, Unit if pollution control, are selected with qualitative analysis using DEM after considered river length, degree and area of basin through channel network analysis. Choensoo-Bay basin is divided with 6 zones to 33 subordinate zones. It is found to be a big difference of pollutant loads in each zone. The pollutant loads use to review for efficient zoning. And also the result apply to measurement of water quality and building for environmental infrastructure.

Due to the drastic growth of national economy and the development of overall territory, the shapes of national land and coastal areas are changing from day to day. To detect such changes in lands and coasts efficiently, as well as to establish an appropriate usage plan, it is necessary to secure a monitoring system for coastal areas based on the observation and analysis of the change in coastlines. Currently, looking at the field of producing national coastlines, the lengths of coastlines are inaccurate due to the vague definition of dividing coastline boundaries and insufficient observation data. The level of accuracy and reliability of previous data are also in the very low. This paper used aerial photographs with certain intervals to monitor the change in coastal areas of Songjeong, Haeundae, Kwanganri, Songdo and Dadaepo. The local area subjected for this research was limited to areas near Busan.

Paracalanus parvus and P. indicus collected in Korean coastal waters were redescribed to clarify taxonomical confusion. They showed the significant morphological difference in the $2nd\~4th$ swimming legs. In P. parvus the outer distal edge of 3rd segment of exopod of $2nd\~4th$ swimming legs is not serrated. The 1st basipodite has no spinules on the surface. In P. indicus the outer distal edge of 3rd segment of exopod of End and 3rd swimming legs is serrated, while that of the 4th swimming leg is not. This species has the 1st basipodite with a lot of spinules on the surface.

Shoreline change due to the littoral drift in Suyeong bay, especially the Gwanganri and Haeundae beaches, was investigated. Average monthly frequency. speed. and direction of winds blowing from between east and south for the last 15 years were analysed, and offshore significant waves were hindcasted using the JONSWAP model. Wave refractions, shoaling, and breaking weir also investigated for the calculation of littoral drift. At the Gwanganri beach major longshore transport of sands occurs from the southwest to the northeast and the shoreline seems to advance in the northeast while it recedes in the southwest. At the Haeundae beach the sands mainly move from the east to the west and the shoreline retreats in the east and advances in the west.
