It is necessary to establish a marine environment management system in Korea for hazardous noxious substances (HNS) effluent from marine industrial facilities because the Marine Environment Management Act primarily focuses on pollution control from vessels and offshore man-made structures. In this study, we investigated the effluent guidelines of foreign cases focusing on the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), which provides detailed information on the action levels and establishing principles for the industrial wastewater discharge of HNS. Based on the review, we also considered appropriate options for establishing new guidelines for Korea.

While fishery has been continuously suffering from deteriorating economic feasibility, the amount of the deposited marine litter has been increasing due to an increased number of marine leisure tourists which are caused by an improved quality of life and five-day work week. In addition, the fishery area has been reduced by the reclamation projects and it is being destroyed by marine pollution with a variety of contaminants coming from land and sea. To protect and improve fisheries in these poor conditions, Korean governments have implemented the submerged marine litter collection projects. However, previous research results on the marine environment and resources indicate that it requires a lot of time investment to achieve tangible results of such improvement. The 300 billion won marine environment and resource investigation project has been executed since July 2004 by Korean governments, which demands strategic approaches to obtain more effective and satisfactory results before the project expires in 2013. Ocean environment research institutes and governments need to cooperate each other to gain efficient and reasonable achievement by identifying and linking related projects. This study suggests that the marine environment and resources investigation projects should run parallel with the submerged marine litter collection projects on mutually agreed research items in the identical area of the ocean to obtain cost-effective improvement of marine environment and fishery conditions.

This research analyzed domestic newspapers' agenda setting trend and meaning construction process on the issue of marine environment by year. The research conducted a language network analysis and used R program and Netminer program to analyze four major daily newspapers' news coverages (Dong-A, Joongang, Hanhyoreh, and Kyunghyang) for the last ten years (2005-2014). The results show that the issue of marine environment in Korean media reports are signified in the economic context. For the last ten years, news reports are mainly focused on the 'development' issue of marine environment, without distinction of year. The core key words of the networks are "development", "plan", and "project." However, diverse strategies for 'preservation' are not covered in media reports as a major issue. The importance of effective preservation and reasonable development should be considered in a balanced way. Korean media coverages mainly concentrate on the development issue, and it has a strong influence on considering the marine environment area as an object of development. Future direction and implication of the press reports related to marine environment are discussed.

21세기 해양시대를 맞이하여 선진 해양수산 경남으로의 발전 도약을 위하여 2002년부터 2006 년까지 5개년에 걸쳐 지역특성을 살린 자율적이고 미래지향적인 해양수산업 및 삶의 질이 향상되는 해양수산종합발전계획을 수립하였다. 해양수산업의 현 실태는 대외적으로는 신 해양질서의 재편, 대내적으로는 해양환경오염 등으로 어업여건이 악화되고 있으며, 또한 체계적인 어업관리 미비로 인하여 잡는어업 관리의 문제점이 노출되었다. 양식어장 관리부실 및 수산물 수입 급증으로 양식기반이 위축되고, 소득기반 및 정주환경 열악으로 탈어촌ㆍ노령화 현상이 가속화되고 있는 실정이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 극복하기 위해 연근해 어업의 구조조정 및 어업자원 관리를 통해 연근해어업의 경쟁력을 강화시키고, 기르는 어업의 육성과 연안어장 목장화 및 쾌적하고 생명력 넘치는 해양환경 조성으로 수산물 생산량을 향상시키는 수산업에 대한 종합발전계획을 수립하였다. 또한, 수산물 수출촉진과 유통혁신 및 가공산업 현대화를 통해 수산물 가공업의 영세성을 탈피하여 풍요롭고 활력이 넘치는 어촌개발, 해양레져타운 건설 및 선진 어업인을 육성하기 위한 해양산업발전계획도 수립하였다.

The analysis of ocean environment offers us essential information for ocean exploration. But ocean environment has a lot of environmental variables such as the movements of nodes by an ocean current, corrosion by salt water, attenuation of radio wave, occurrences of multi-path and difficulty of sensor nodes' deployment. It is accordingly difficult and complex to gather and process the environmental information through ocean data communication due to these constraints of ocean environment unlike the terrestrial wireless networks. To overcome these problems, we organized ocean communication network for monitoring underwater environment by real experiment in Gyeongpoho similar to ocean environment. Therefore, this paper aims at overcoming major obstacles in ocean environment, effectively deploying sensor nodes for ocean environment monitoring and defining an efficient structure suitable for communication environment by the implementation of ocean environment monitoring system in Gyeongpoho.

Post-spill monitoring of hazardous noxious substances accidents is essential in the event of a spillage of significant quantities of pollutants and for the management of the marine environment resulting from the long-term effects of the persistent toxic substances. The accidental introduction of a sinker into the marine environment can create harmful anaerobic conditions in the benthic ecosystem and spread over the seafloor by the topography and currents. Through case studies, most post-spill monitoring includes modeling, remote sensing, and chemical analyses of the sediment and benthic organisms. The monitoring also evaluates the effectiveness of restoration and recovery activities and assesses damages and compensation.

Marine pollution prevention manager system has been operated for the purpose of preventing marine pollution from ships and marine facilities in Korea. As a new "marine environment management act" replacing an old "marine pollution prevention law" had entered into force from January 20. 2008, the education system for marine pollution prevention manager is scheduled to change in some ways. Major changes in education/training institutions, education/training courses, trainees, marine pollution prevention manager's works and business, marine facilities and educational subjects are summarized, comparing between new "marine environment management act" and old "marine pollution prevention act".

The ocean provides with not only the global environment and ecology, which is essential for human beings survival, but also various resources for human beings prosperity. The ocean security is to secure and keep the benefits that the ocean provides with to human beings. It is essential to keep enforcement measures for the ocean security. Major marine countries are challenging to secure ocean environment and resources since UNCLOS. The utmost policy priority should be given to the ocean security in Korea.
