The quality of marine sediments from the industrialized coastal areas of Korea (Ulsan Bay, Masan Bay, and artificial Lake Shihwa) was investigated using a bacterial bioluminescence toxicity test. Sediment toxicity results were compared with the levels of chemical contamination (trace metals, organic wastewater markers, acid volatile sulfides, total organic carbon). Effective concentration 50% (EC50) of sediments ranged from 0.014 to 1.126 mg/mL, which is comparable to or lower than values in contaminated lakes, rivers, and marine sediments of other countries. Sediment reference index (SRI) ranged from 13 to 1044, based on the EC50 of the negative control sample. Mean average SRI values in Masan Bay and Lake Shihwa were approximately 8 and 9 times as high as that in Ulsan Bay, indicating higher sediment toxicity and greater contamination in the two former regions. Sediment toxicity were strongly associated with the concentrations of some chemicals, suggesting that this test may be useful for determining potential chemical contamination in sediments.

In order to investigate change of shear strength of coastal muddy sediment by mixing pretreated oyster shells with different pyrolysis temperatures and particle sizes, a vane shear test was carried out. The shear strength of the sediment with oyster shells pyrolyzed at 800℃ was twice higher than that of the control, with a maximum shear strength of ca. 0.2 kPa. The Ca2+ concentration in the pore water was the highest at sediment with oyster shells pyrolyzed at 800℃ with a concentration of ca. 790 mg/L. From the above results, it is concluded that the application of the oyster shells pyrolyzed at 800℃ can affect the increase in shear strength of coastal sediments through the aggregation of clay particles and pozzolanic reactions with sediments.

Recently, the horizontal axis rotor performance optimizer (HARP_Opt) tool was developed in the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA. This innovative tool is becoming more popular in the wind turbine industry and in the field of academic research. HARP_Optwas developed on the basis of two fundamental modules, namely, WT_Perf, a performance evaluator computer code using the blade element momentum theory; and a genetic algorithm module, which is used as an optimizer. A pattern search algorithm was more recently incorporated to enhance the optimization capability, especially the calculation time and consistency of the solutions. The blade optimization is an aspect that is highly dependent on experience and requires significant consideration on rotor control strategies, wind data, and generator type. In this study, the effects of rotor control strategies including fixed speed and fixed pitch, variable speed and fixed pitch, fixed speed and variable pitch, and variable speed and variable pitch algorithms on optimal blade shapes and rotor performance are investigated using optimized blade designs. The effects of environmental wind data and the objective functions used for optimization are also quantitatively evaluated using the HARP_Opt tool. Performance indices such as annual energy production, thrust, torque, and roof-flap moment forces are compared.

The average coastline and the erosion control line introduced as the management coastline, and the average shoreline (MSL) was established from the observed coastline. Also, the median grain size and the wave height of 30-years return period were applied. The erosion control line (ECL) was established through the model, HaeSaBeeN. These two lines set the coastline for evaluation. Based on the observed monitoring data along the coastline, the 1-day variation according to the normal distribution was used to estimate the regional variation, and the width of the erosion was calculated by applying the median grain size (D₅₀) and the wave height of 30-years return period through the high-wave coastal erosion width model, i.e., HaeSaBeeN.

This study was designed to develop biomarkers of coastal pollution using biochemical indices of flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) by changes in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in the serum and cholinesterase activities in brain membranes. For this purpose acetylcholiesterase (AChE) activity, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity, LDH/AChE ratio and LDH/BChE ratio of cultured flounders at 5 different sites on the southern coast of Korea were compared to those of wild flounders caught in the Pohang, eastern coast of Korea as a control group. Relatively high LDH activities were measured in the serum of flounders cultured on the southern coast of Korea (0.101-0.145 unit) than those in the Pohang control group (0.093 unit). AChE activities were significantly low $(about\;10-20\%)$ in brain membranes of cultured flounders compared to those in the Pohang control group. The ratios of LDH/AChE and LDH/BChE were consistently higher $(136-178\%,\; 155-214\%)$ in cultured flounders than those of Pohang control group. Thus, we propose that the ratios of LDH/AChE and LDH/BChE in flounders could be applicable for the diagnosis of marine pollution.

연안지역에서 주로 발생되는 해안의 침식 및 퇴적현상은 하구폐쇄, 하구사주, 연안사주의 발달 및 해안선변형 등과 같은 여러 가지 형태로 나타난다 최근 연안 개발로 인하여 이러한 변형이 심각한 수준에 이르렀다. 해안의 변화는 장기간 서서히 진행되므로 원인규명 및 대책제시에 관한 오랜 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 장기간에 진행된 지형변화량을 분석하기 위해서 1940년대부터 1990년대까지 10년 주기로 정사항공사진을 제작하여 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 정확한 해안선 변화량을 산정하기 위하여 기준점 및 GCP(Ground Control Point)를 실측하여 정사항공사진을 제작하였다. 이를 바탕으로 임야도와 지적도를 사용하여 조위를 고려하지 않았을 경우의 해안선 변화량을 산정하였다. 또한 검조소의 조위자료를 이용하여 항공촬영 시점의 조위를 계산 보정하고 지형 측량과 수심측량을 병행하여 조위를 고려한 지형 변화량을 분석하였다 본 연구결과, 정사항공사진을 이용하여 해안의 침식이적 경향을 정량적으로 분석하고자 할 경우. 조위를 고려한 정사항공사진 분석기법이 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 향후 장기간 지형자료가 미흡한 지역은 정사항공사진을 이용하여 분석함으로써 연안통합관리시스템의 정보 제공에 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

To know the infection status of zoonotic trematode metacercariae in brackish water fish, we surveyed mullets collected from 18 coastal areas in the Republic of Korea. The metacercariae of Pygidiopsis summa were detected in 236 (68.2%) out of 346 mullets examined. They were found in mullets from 15 areas except for those from Boseong-gun (Jeollanam-do), Pohang-si, and Uljin-gun (Gyeongsangbuk-do). Especially in mullets from Taean-gun (Chungcheongnam-do) and Geoje-si (Gyeongsangnam-do), their prevalences were 100% and 95.5%, and the average metacercarial density was more than 1,000 per fish. They were also detected in mullets from 3 coastal lakes, Gyeongpoho, Songjiho, and Hwajinpoho, in Gangwon-do, and their average densities were 419, 147, and 672 per infected fish, respectively. The metacercariae of 5 other heterophyid species, including Heterophyes nocens, Heterophyopsis continua, Metagonimus sp., Stictodora fuscata, and Stictodora lari, were found in the mullets examined. The metacercariae of H. nocens were detected in 66.7, 100, 28.6, 81.6, 3.9, 61.5, and 27.3% of mullets from Muan-gun, Shinan-gun, Haenam-gun, Gangjin-gun, and Boseong-gun (Jeollanam-do), Hadong-gun, and Geoje-si (Gyeongsangnam-do), and their metacercarial intensities were 64, 84, 119, 99, 1, 24, and 24 per fish infected, respectively. From the above results, it has been confirmed that P. summa metacercariae are heavily infected in mullets from coastal areas of Korea. It is suggested that residents who frequently consume raw mullet dish can be easily infected with heterophyid flukes.

이 연구는 우리나라 서 남 동해안 및 제주도 총 123개소의 곰솔 해안방재림 실태조사 결과와 국내 외 사례와의 비교를 토대로 형상비를 고려한 밀도 관리의 필요성과 방안을 검토하기 위하여 실시하였다. 곰솔의 형상비(수고/흉고직경)는 서 남 동해안에서 임목밀도와 정의 상관을 보이며, 서해안은 평균 66.32로 남해안 49.57, 동해안 48.19 및 제주도 48.29에 비하여 현저히 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 서해안은 형상비 70이상인 곰솔 임분이 전체 개소수의 50%를 차지하여, 국내 외 사례와 비교할 때 방재기능의 저하가 우려되었다. 임목밀도는 동해안을 제외한 대부분 지역에서 우리나라 산림청 및 일본 삼림총합연구소의 기준보다 현저히 높은 과밀상태를 보여 밀도조절이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 우리나라 해안지역 곰솔의 생장 추정식에 의하면 해안방재림의 기능 저하를 방지하기 위하여 형상비가 급증하는 14년생 이하의 유령림에 대한 밀도관리가 중요한 것으로 시사되었다. 특히 곰솔림의 1차 솎아베기는 형상비 70을 초과하는 8년생 임분이 되기 전에 실시해야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 우리나라와 일본의 곰솔 밀도기준을 비교한 결과, 목재생산을 목표로 한 국내의 곰솔 밀도기준에 비하여 형상비를 고려한 일본의 기준은 방재기능이 비교적 취약한 흉고직경 20 cm이하의 유령림에 대해서는 보다 높은 임목밀도를 요구하는 것으로 나타났다. 현재 우리나라에는 곰솔 해안방재림의 적정 밀도기준이 없기 때문에 현지조사 결과를 토대로 방재기능에 중점을 두고 설정된 일본의 기준이 유효하게 활용될 수 있다고 판단되었다.
