여수 하수처리장 하수처리 방류수가 배출구 인근해역에 미칠 수 있는 영향정도를 파악하기 위하여 해양수질 및 저질 환경을 조사하였다. 조사는 총 30개 지점에서 수질과 저질의 일반항목과 영양염류에 대하여 실시하였다. 조사시기는 2005년 9월 3일 (하계), 2005년 11월 20일(추계), 2006년 2월 13일 (동계), 2006년 5월 28일 (춘계) 에 4 계절에 걸쳐 밀물시와 썰물시에 현장 조사를 실시하였다. 배출수는 해양수질환경의 특성을 통해 추정한 결과 직접영향권은 0.5km, 간접 영향권은 반경 약 2km까지로 추정되었다. 저질의 결과를 보면 산 휘발성 황화물의 농도가 많은 해역에서 저질의 오염기준을 초과하는 동 오염된 저질의 특성을 보였으며, 산 휘발성 황화물과 화학적 산소요구량의 분포는 니질 퇴적상이 두드러지게 나타나는 배출구 동측과 돌산도 남동쪽, 돌산도 서측과 대경도 동측사이에 위치한 해역에서는 대체적으로 높은 값들을 보이고 있으며, 조립질 퇴적상이 주로 분포하고 있는 배출구와 국동항사이의 수로에서는 대체적으로 낮은 분포를 나타내었다.

In this study, the authors investigated the change of marine environment by dumping dredged materials generated by construction of Busan New Port. There are lots of possibilities to impact an ocean ecosystem by toxic materials in the dredged material dumped in the open seas. As a result of analysis of environmental monitoring in the study areas 12 times a year, COD is II grade, T-N is I grade, T-P is between II and III grade. This result is same as another results of offshore in Korea. It seems unclear that it results from the change of water quality by dumping dredged material. However, according to the result of this investigation, it is not effected extensively to the marine environment by dumping dredged materials. We need further environmental monitoring in the interest sea areas, also need to keep on investigating the impact on the marine ecosystem by dumping dredged materials.

Numerical study on coastal water quality management was conducted to examine the response of summer water quality to the flow into the sea of land based pollution load in Ulsan Bay, Korea The abatement of pollution load. from point sources of land was estimated on the basis of Korean coastal water quality standard using an ecosystem model. The results of the ecological model simulation showed that COD values in the inner part of the bay were greater than 280mg/L, and exceeded the grade III limit of Korean coastal water quality standard 30% of all land based pollution loads or organic and inorganic material loads from point sources should be cut down to keep the COD levels below 2mg/L. As environmental carrying capacity was estimated to be 7,193kgCOD/day to keep the COD levels below 2mg/L in Ulsan Bay, 3,083kgCOD/day of land based organic loads should be reduced. The phytoplankton blooms have occurred in the Teahwa river mouth or estuary repetitively, so it is important to control land based nutrients loads for removal of autochthonous organic loads around Ulsan Bay.

The coast of Incheon reaches Incheon itself, Gimpo, Siheung, and Ansan of Gyunggi-do. Because this area has been seriously polluted, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has established the Incheon Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) to preserve sea water quality as a marine environment asset. However, there is concern that actions taken in this area may change the surrounding marine ecology, being effected by farms, via a river that flows from waste lands, abandoned fishing activities and fishing nets, etc. Given this background, this study estimates the value of SAMP sea water quality using a choice experiment (CE). A CE survey of 1,000 households was undertaken, investigating trade-offs involving price and four attributes for selecting a preferred alternative to obtain a marginal willingness to pay (MWTP) estimate for each attribute. The estimation results showed that MWTP for a 1 %p improvement in sea water quality, the diversity of fauna species, the diversity of flora species, and a 1 %p reduction in marine litter as a result of conserving Incheon coastal sea water quality are estimated to be KRW 75, 135, 309 and 72 per household per year, respectively. All estimation results were statistically significant at the 1 % level. These findings can provide policy makers with useful information for evaluating and planning marine environmental management policies.

We investigated water quality, salinity, nutrients, SS, COD and Chlorophyll-a concentrations in the seawater of the Mokpo costal area, southwestern coast of Korea. Seawater samples at 25 stations were collected in July 20, 25 and September 3, 2002 after a strong rain event. The distributions nutrients in seawater were analyzed using an method of sea water analysis presented by the ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of Korea. The sampling sites were categorized into the inner and outer harbour based on salinity distribution and difference of nutrients distributions was evidence between these two zones. Nutrients and SS inflow and distributed in the inner harbour by the discharged freshwater from Youngsan river during strong rainfall whereas they were distributed in seawater of outer harbour by natural processes in general coastal area.

In order to determine the distribution characteristics of the heavy metals in surface sediments of the eastern Yellow Sea, heavy metal concentrations (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Mn, As, Ni, Co, Li, Fe and Al) together with grain size and total organic carbon (TOC), were analyzed. The concentrations of all heavy metals, with the exception of Pb, Mn and As in some stations, were relatively high in the central area of the Yellow Sea and tended to decrease toward the Korean coast. A significant relationship between grain size and concentrations of heavy metals suggested that they were mostly controlled by quartz dilution effect. However, at some stations, Pb, Mn and As exhibited different distribution patterns. For Pb, the differences were caused by petrogenetic influences (feldspar) in coarse-grained sediments. In the case of Mn, biogenetic influences ($CaCO_3$) affected distribution patterns. As was distributed differently because of the existence of a heavy mineral (pyrite). A comparison with previous data (collected in 2000) shows that the heavy metal concentration in the eastern Yellow Sea has not increased over the past fifteen years. The sedimentary environment of dumping sites in the Yellow Sea has not been significantly improved during this period. The results of the pollution assessment revealed that the concentrations of heavy metals in the study area were lower than lower criteria (TEL, MSQ-1) in Korean and Chinese sediment quality guidelines. The enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumulation index ($I_{geo}$) and ecological risk index (ERI) of Cu, Pb, Zn and Cr were higher in the central area of the Yellow Sea.

To verify the characteristics of deep ocean water, oceanographic observation and qualitative analysis were carried out from March of 2001 to February of 2002. Spatiotemporal variation of water quality of deep ocean water were discussed from survey results around development site and along northeastern coastal sea of Korean peninsular. Vertical distribution of water temperature and salinity were measured, and sampled seawater were analyzed in order to determine the definition of deep ocean water resource and the position of intake device for supplying qualified deep ocean water resource.

최근 해양자원의 중요성이 대두됨에 따라, 해양환경을 모니터링 하기 위해 Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks(UW-ASN)가 활발히 연구되고 있다. UW-ASN 는 해양환경에 대한 데이터를 Sensing, gathering 하고 이를 Monitoring Center로 delivering 하는 Mission 을 수행한다. 이 논문에서는 해양에서 수집한 데이터를 수질 자동 측정망(TMS: Tele Monitoring System)에 전송하기 위해, 음파통신을 통해 수신된 해양 데이터를 수질 자동 측정망의 규격에 맞는 데이터로 변환시키고 CDMA 통신을 통해 가상의 TMS에 전송하는 Gateway 구현을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 무선센서네트워크 기반의 연안·해양 환경모니터링 시스템을 이용해 연안·해양지역의 대기환경 정보는 물론 수질 환경의 정보를 측정하여 모니터링하였다. 연안 및 해양 환경의 모니터링을 위해 고려된 해양 센서를 사용하여 무선 센서 네트워크를 이용하여 온도, 습도, 조도, 기압, 이슬점의 대기환경 정보와 용존산소량(DO), 수소이온지수(pH), 수온 등의 수질환경 정보를 측정한 후 측정된 환경 정보를 베이스스테이션으로 전송하고 모니터링 하도록 하였다. 환경 정보를 전송할 때 정확하고 신속한 전송을 위하여 데이터 전달 확률이 높은 여러 라우팅 프로토콜 전송방식을 이용하여 전달하였다.
