Temporal and spatial variations in surface water temperature were studied using data from temperature monitoring buoys deployed at 47 stations around Boryeong from 2011-2012 off the west coast of Korea. Temperature fluctuations are predominant at diurnal and semidiurnal periods for all seasons, and their amplitudes are large in spring and summer but small in autumn. The maximum annual change in air temperature takes place on August 2nd and August 22th for water temperature, which means the phase for air temperature precedes water temperature by 20 days. The diurnal period of water temperature fluctuation is predominant around Daecheon and Muchangpo Harbors, with the semidiurnal period around Wonsan Island, and the shallow water constituent period on the estuary around Daecheon River. On the whole, air and water temperatures fluctuate with wind. Spectral analyses of temperature records show significant peaks at the 0.5, 1 and 15 day marks with 7-10 day periods of predominant fluctuations. Cross-correlation analyses for the temperature fluctuation show that the waters around Boryeong can be classified into four areas: a mixed water zone around the southeast side of Wonsan Island, an off-shore area to the west, an off-shore area to the south and a coastal area along the shore from Song Island to Muchangpo Harbor.

우리나라 연안의 평균해면이 증가하고 있다는 주장과 고극조위, 저극조위가 증가(또는 변동)하고 있다는 주장이 제기되고 있으나, 연구자가 사용한 자료의 기간 및 분석 방법 등에 차이가 있고, 결측자료(missing data) 및 이상자료(outlier) 등을 처리한 방법이 서로 차이가 있기 때문에 전체적으로 또는 부분적으로 분석결과가 차이를 보일 수 있다. 또한 추세분석에서는 통계적인 신뢰수준에 대한 검정과정 없이 단순하게 선형회귀곡선식을 이용하여 기울기의 부호만으로 증가 감소를 판단하는 경우도 있다. 그러나 추세분석은 최적의 추세곡선을 찾아내는 것 이전에 추세의 유무를 통계적인 신뢰수준을 기준으로 검정하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 추세분석의 필수과정인 추세검정(추세가 있는가? 없는가?)을 Mann-Kendall 방법을 이용하여 우리나라 전 연안 조위관측소의 평균해수면 및 고극조위, 저극조위 자료에 대하여 수행하였다. 추세검정 결과를 다음과 같이 도출할 수 있었다. 평균해수면은 95% 유의수준으로 분석에 포함된 전체 30개 검조소 중 대산, 보령, 군산, 목포, 통영, 거문도, 부산, 가덕도, 제주, 서귀포, 속초, 포항, 울산, 울릉도 지점 등 19개 지점이 추세가 있는 것으로 파악되었으며, 고극조위, 저극조위는 각각 15개, 17개 지점이 추세가 있는 것으로 파악되었다.

연안유역으로 유입되는 소하천의 유량 및 오염물질의 농도는 유역의 기상상태(강우량 및 증발량), 토지피복도, 인공구조물의 운영규clr 등에 의하여 변화한다. 특히, 강우에 의한 오염부하량 변화는 평상시의 오염부하량에 비하여 그 변화량이 매우 크기 때문에 평상시의 측정간격으로는 보다 정확한 오염부하량 산정에 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 충청남도 보령시를 관통하는 대천천을 대상으로 강우에 의한 오염부하량 변화를 연속적으로 측정하였다. 대천천은 상류지역에 청천저수지가 형성되어 있으며, 보령시내를 관통하는 과정에서 도시 오염물질이 유입되는 양상을 보이고 있으며, 천수만 입구지역으로 유입되는 지방하천이다. 유역오염부하량 계산에 필요한 유량은 보(weir)에서 측정한 수위자료를 이용하여 환산하였으며, 수온, 탁도 및 염도는 OBS-3A 장비를 이용하여 연속측정하였다. 또한, 영양염류의 오염물질 농도는 30분 간격으로 채수하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 오염물질 항목에 따라 시간에 따른 오염부하량 변화양상이 매우 상이하게 나타났으며, 변화 폭도 매우 크게 나타나서 강우시의 오염부하량을 추정하기 위해서는 1시간 간격 이내의 관측자료를 이용하여 추정하는 방법이 타당한 것으로 파악되었다.

In Korea, there have been many studies and progresses on various types of pilot scale or commercialized field scale Best Management Practices(BMP) during the last 10 years. Runoff characteristics of diffuse pollutants from different land uses are well identified and documented. However, for the coastal area connected directly with shoreline, runoff patterns and management schemes of non-point pollution were not fully studied. Recently, coastal area is emerging as a new development axis especially in west coast side of Korea such as Incheon city and Chungnam province, thus urbanized area rapidly increased but there are no buffer zones and BMP facilities to aim at preventing direct discharge of the first flush into coastal sea and beaches. In this study, parking area in Deacheon harbor, Boryeong City in Chungnam Province was selected and rainfall runoff was monitored for two year period in order to examine run-off features from which proper type of BMP suitable for coastal area is proposed. Coastal area usually has a low ground water level and consists of plain land, so that large scale BMP such as storm water retention pond and wetland requiring great excavation works is not best management plan. In addition, monitoring study shows that storm water from the paved parking area has a high salinity compared with those in storm water from the inland. High salinity is detrimental for the vegetation. Therefore, BMP employing least vegetative cover and also in terms of maintenance is a good option such as infiltration trench and porous pavement.

In order to study about species composition and community structure of fish in the coastal water off Boryeong were investigated from January 2018 to December 2019. A total of 10,863 individuals of 87 species of 44 families were collected. The dominant species were Liparis tanakai accounted for 19.8 percent of the total with Amblychaeturichthys hexanema and Collichthys niveatus accounted for 12.4 percent and 11.0 percent of the total number. A cluster analysis based on the Bray-Curtis similarity revealed that the fish community divided into two groups, According to season. The fish species that appeared summer and autumn were mainly migratory, while the fish species that appeared in spring and winter were mainly resident species. Fish caught by stow net had a high percentage of immature fish. It presented that coastal water off Boryeong is located an important spawning and nursery for fisheries resource.

In the event of a marine pollution accident, Korea, which is bordered by the sea on three sides, would suffer tremendous damage. According to an analysis of marine pollution accidents in Korea, most pollutants were small fishing boats and tugboats. In particular, urgent safety measures are required due to the high incidence of marine pollution accidents caused by stranded tugboats. This study aims to decrease secondary marine pollution accidents by preparing measures to prevent accidents by stranded tugboats, the main source of pollution accidents. To this end an experiment was conducted to mark 63 locations where stranded accidents have occurred on the GPS plotters of 61 tugboats operating in Boryeong sea area. Its effectiveness was then investigated. The result showed that there was no stranded accident by the subject ship during the 20-month experiment period. As a result of survey of the captains, 36 out of 40 respondents (90%) stated that the experiment was significantly helpful in ensuring safe navigation, thus confirming its effectiveness. Various measures were proposed to prevent stranded accidents, including providing information to manufacturers and users by marking the location of grounded accidents on GPS plotters and posting the location information of unknown reefs on the official website of institution Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency.

Since the original description of new species, Eumicrotremus jindoensis, we confirmed the first occurrence of E. jindoensis based on a single specimen (22.3 mm SL) caught by inshore stow net at the coastal waters of Boryeong of Korea. However, our specimen slightly differed from type specimens in having more vertebrae (26 vs. 21~24), longer snout (17.4% vs. 8.1~9.1%), longer preanus length (67.5% vs. 58.0~58.3%) and shorter second dorsal fin base (15.3% vs. 20.2~20.8%). Comparing with mtDNA COI and Cytb sequences, we could not find any differences in mtDNA Cytb sequences between our specimen and type specimens, which suggest that those morphological differences may belong to local variation by habitat and environmental condition between off Jindo Island and off Boryeong in Korea. Eumicrotremus uenoi is known from the southern sea of Korea narrowly (Busan, Tongyeong, and Jeju Island), the other congeneric species (E. asperrimus, E. pacificus, and E. taranetzi) from only the eastern sea of Korea, but E. jindoensis from the central coast to southern coast of western Korea.

Age and growth of the the Jedo venus clam, Protothaca jedoensis were investigated using samples from the subtidal zone of Boryeong, Chungcheongnam- do, Korea from January to December, 1999. The relationship between shell height and ring radius in each group was expressed as a regression line. Therefore, it could be recognized that there is a correspondence in the formation of each ring. Based on the monthly variation of the marginal index of the shell, it was suggested that the annual ring mark formation occurred during the period of February to March once a year. The relationship between shell height (SH) and total weight (TW) was represented by the non-linear equation: TW = 0.0007 SH$^{2.8919}$, and also in the relationship between shell length (SL) and shell height (SH), shell height (SH) and shell width (SW) were represented by the linear equations: SL=1.1067SH+1.778, SW=0.6758SH-0.9824. Growth curves for shell height and total weight fitted to the von Bertalanffy equation were expressed as: SH$_t$ = 81.546(1-e$^{-0.176(t+0.381)}$), TW$_t$ = 227.65(1-e$^{-0.176(t+0.381)})^{2.8919}$.
