It has been known that shallow-water regions, such as tidal flats, sea grass and sea weed beds have water purification capability, and they also serve as nursery grounds for many fishes. On the other hand, tidal flat areas are economically attractive sites for reclamation, to be used for developing industries. When developing shallow-water areas, we have to propose a plan to mitigate the environmental impact associated with such a development plan. However, it is difficult to estimate the affects on the ecosystem and water purification, and the literature related to this matter is insufficient. In order to evaluate the ability of coastal tidal flat and to predict the future changes, it is necessary to develop a reliable prediction technique and construction of data by using a field investigation. In this study, we carried out a numerical model test for the tidal flat ecosystem, using the pelagic system and the benthic system, simultaneously, in order to show a change in the tidal flat ecosystem. The flow of nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon has been identified as a primary consideration of marine ecosystem components, and the capability of water purification and the change of the tidal flat were predicted using this flow. In order to make a more reliable prediction, a field investigation to determine tide, current and creatures of the object coastal area has been done. The purification capability of this shallow-water region is estimated from the model results. According to the results of experiments, the tidal flat has a capability of water purification (Sink) of 11mgN/m2/day, but the other area has a load (Source) of 20mgN/m2/day. As a result, we could confirm that the tidal flat of an object coastal area plays an important role in water purification.

The emergy concept was used to valuate the contributions of a tidal flat ecosystem included in the fourth stage reclamation plan for the Youngsan River area to the Korean economy. Emergy contributions of the ecosystem were compared with those of economic valuations performed on the same ecosystem. The tidal flat ecosystem contributed 3.55 million EmW/ha annually. This, however, cannot be compared directly with those of the economic valuations because both methodologies approach the valuation of ecosystems in different perspectives. The emergy methodology is a donor-based valuation in which what goes into making a product or service is measured, while the economic valuation is a receiver-based approach in which human receivers determine the value of an ecosystem product or service. An emergy valuation was conducted for the three ecosystem functions included in the economic valuations to compare the results of both methodologies on the same basis. Fishery production and pollutants removal contributed 9.86 million EmW/ha/yr and 0.88 million EmW/ha/yr, respective1y. The conservation value of the tidal flat ecosystem was 3.55 million EmW/ha/yr. Overall, the emergy valuation that try to include works of both human and nature on the same basis resulted in higher economic contribution of the tidal flat ecosystem than that calculated by the economic methodologies in which only human works are measured based on the willingness-to-pay of people. This study showed that the emergy concept could provide an alternative tool for policy decision-making regarding utilization and conservation of ecosystems by approaching the ecosystem valuation from a different perspective than that of economic methodologies.

In this study, a deep-learning image analysis model was established and validated for AI-based monitoring of the tidal flat ecosystem for marine protected creatures Ocypode stimpsoni and their habitat. The data in the study was constructed using an unmanned aerial vehicle, and the U-net model was applied for the deep learning model. The accuracy of deep learning model learning results was about 0.76 and about 0.8 each for the Ocypode stimpsoni and their burrow whose accuracy was higher. Analyzing the distribution of crabs and burrows by putting orthomosaic images of the entire study area to the learned deep learning model, it was confirmed that 1,943 Ocypode stimpsoni and 2,807 burrow were distributed in the study area. Through this study, the possibility of using the deep learning image analysis technology for monitoring the tidal ecosystem was confirmed. And it is expected that it can be used in the tidal ecosystem monitoring field by expanding the monitoring sites and target species in the future.

The costal area where takes up over 32% in domestic teritory is considered as very importantly because it has not only economic facilities such as harbor and an industrial complex but also recreation facilities. Moreover, the tidal flat area has been used as culture ponds and salt farms because this area is occupied by various oceanic species. Also, the tidal flat area has played an important role to purify ocean pollution and maintain an ecosystem. However, the costal ecosystem has seriously threatened by domestic reclamation projects and a large-scale tide embankment during recent 10 years in Korea. This serious problem results in loosing 34%(810$km^2$) of the entire domestic costal area. In this paper, the micro-landform in the tidal flat area, which is called as Garolim bay in Korea, is classified by using Landsat TM images also verified through a filed report. Through the result of this, the tidal flat area is expected to manage efficiently especially through analyzing sediment environment and characteristic of grain size by using satellite images.

전라남도는 우리나라에서 50% 이상을 차지하는 섬과 갯벌을 가지고 있다. 특히 그중에서도 신안군은 가장 많은 섬 개수와 넓은 갯벌을 차지하고 있다. 신안군은 2개읍, 12면으로 구성되어 있고 약 1,000여개의 유 무인도 섬들이 산재해 있다. 섬과 갯벌이라는 독특한 생태계 특성을 가진 신안군의 생태계서비스 가치를 Costanza et al. (1997)의 생물군계에 의해 계산하였다. 신안군은 갯벌이 가장 높은 생태계서비스 가치를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 대부분의 섬에서 같은 결과를 보였고 특히 압해읍과 지도읍이 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 증도면의 경우에는 실제적으로 군내에서는 면적이 11위에 해당하지만 생태계서비스 가치는 전체에서 4위를 나타내었다. 현재까지의 연구 상황으로는 정확하게 생태계서비스 가치를 계산하는 것이 어렵지만 대략의 가치라도 측정해 보는 것도 중요하다고 판단된다. 신안군 전체의 생태계 서비스 가치를 살펴봄으로써 현재 가지고 있는 가치를 잘 보전하고 지속적으로 활용하기 위한 정책에 활용하는 것이 필요하다. 특히 갯벌이라는 독특한 생태계를 잘 보전하고 이를 올바르게 활용할 수 있는 시스템 구축이 절실하다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 앞으로 신안군 발전계획 등의 정책결정에 좋은 자료를 제공하고자 한다.

The architecture of macrofaunal burrows and the total area of the sediment-water interface created by biogenic structure were investigated in the Donggeomdo tidal flat on the west coast of Korea. Resin casting methods were applied to recover burrows of four dominant species, Macrophthalmus japonicus, Cleistostoma dilatatum, Perinereis aibuhitensis, and Periserrula leucophryna, and whole burrows within the casting area at three sites in different tidal levels. P. leucophryna excavated the largest burrow in terms of a surface area among them. In the case of whole burrow casting, the space occupied by the biogenic structure was extended into deeper and expanded more greatly at the higher tidal level. In the uppermost flat, the burrow wall surface area within sediment was more extensive than the sediment surface area. Increased oxygen supply through the extended interface could enhance the degradation rates of organic carbon and also change the pathways of degradation. Quantifying the relationship between the extended interface and mineralization rate and pathway requires more extensive study.

1999년 4월 17-18일 양일 간 전라북도 부안, 변산반도 남단에 위치한 곰소만의 하전 갯벌에서 3.0$\times$4.5 ㎦의 연구 지역을 설정 , box model을 이용한 물질(Chl-a, DIN, DON, TN) 수지 계산과 자정 기능의 추정을 위한 현장 조사를 실시하였다. 조사 지역의 Chl-a 소실률(-0.05mg Chl/$m^2$/hr)은 일본 아이치현 미카와만 이시키 갯벌의 7% 수준으로 나타났다. 이렇게 낮은 소실률은 낮은 식물플랑크톤 현존량, 조사 시기의 낮은 온도에 따른 대사율 감소 그리고 조사 지역의 낮은 대형저서동물량 때문인 것으로 추정되었다. 질소의 측면에서 물질 수지의 계산 결과, 13.5 $\textrm{km}^2$ 면적의 하전 갯벌에서는 하루 동안 TN및 PON의 소실률이 각각 8.36$\times$$10^{2}$, 5.36$\times$$10^{3}$kgN/day로 그리고 식물플랑크톤 소실에 따른 PON 소실률이 1.62$\times$$10^{2}$kg N/day로 추정되어 갯벌이 연안해역에서 질소 제거에 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있음을 시사하였다. 곰소만 하전 갯벌에서의 PON 소실률을 기존의 1개 하수처리장 평균 처리비용과 비교 할 때 13.5$\textrm{km}^2$ 면적의 하전 갯벌의 수질 정화기능은 대규모 하수처리장 2개 이상에 상당하는 경제적 가치를 지니는 것으로 나타났다

전국 및 지역별 갯벌을 대상으로 갯벌생태계의 생태적 과정을 유지하고 생태계서비스를 제공하는데 기본 토대인 자연환경에너지(태양, 바람, 파도, 강수, 조석 등)를 통한 에머지 유입 특성을 분석하였다. 우리나라 갯벌생태계로 유입하는 자연환경에너지가 공급한 에머지 총량은 $4.98{\times}10^{21}sej/yr$이었는데, 이는 갯벌생태계의 유지에 필요한 기본적인 환경 조건이 제공하는 에머지량에 해당한다. 갯벌생태계로 유입하는 에머지량을 화폐 단위로 환산하면 1조1,412억 원/yr으로, 이것은 갯벌생태계가 제공하는 생태계서비스를 생산하는데 토대가 되는 환경적 조건의 가치에 해당한다. 지역별 갯벌의 면적 차이를 고려하여 단위면적당으로 나타낼 경우 우리나라 연안의 일반적인 조차 분포를 따라 인천-경기 지역에서 부산 지역으로 갈수록 단위면적당 에머지 유입량이 감소하였다. 지역별 갯벌의 단위면적당 에머지 유입량과 단위면적당 수산물 생산의 에머지량을 이용하여 갯벌생태계를 유지하는데 필요한 자연환경에너지의 에머지 유입 특성과 생태계서비스 사이의 관계를 개괄적으로 살펴본 결과 지역별 갯벌로 유입한 에머지량과 수산물 생산의 에머지량 사이에는 아주 명확한 관계가 나타나지는 않았다. 그러나 단위면적당 에머지 유입량이 더 많은 서해안 갯벌에서 생산한 수산물의 에머지량이 남해안 갯벌에서 생산한 수산물의 에머지량보다 더 많아 개별 갯벌생태계의 생태계서비스 잠재력을 나타내는데 자연환경에너지를 통한 에머지 유입량의 활용 가능성을 보여주었다.

In this study we classified sediment types of tidal flat using Landsat-5 images. This is for groping the method which can analyze correctly various kinds of sediment faces through satellite images. This work was performed by referencing ground truth of sediment faces which was investigated in the field. With this data we classified Landsat-5 image of 1997's to grope a most suitable classification method. As a result, in case of south Kanghwa island area, it was the optimum way to compound band 4, 5, 7 of Landsat-5 TM imagery. And, this work classified 3 kinds of sediment faces - M(mud), sM(sandy mud) and (g)M(slightly gravelly mud) - in land and mixed water area. It is anticipated that if this method is applied to a image of extremely lower sea level time, it can classify the sediment types of a broad tidal flat area. This is expected to be a beginning of estimating the effect of sediment faces to the change of the tidal flat ecosystem.
