Conservation of wetlands are important because wetlands are hatcheries for fishes and habitat for migratory birds and mammals. Wetlands also function as a filter for polluted water and material and transition zone for harboring numerous species of plants and animals. This paper reviewed the importance of wetland conservation and policy on management of wetlands in Korea. Wetland Conservation Act(1999) and Maritime Management Act(1999) are two legislation for conservation of wetlands. Wetland Conservation Act is issued by both Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. The definition of wetlands are so diverse, but this paper categorized wetlands as both natural and man-made lakes, mud flat areas and inland wetlands. Management application was considered for each wetland categories.

Systematic management of wetlands should be a priority to build the data for the extent and distribution of wetlands all over the country. However there are no clear guidelines for the wetland boundary delineation, so researchers have to determine the boundary of wetlands in each different way. As a result, it is very difficult to identify the extent and distribution of wetlands. This study proposes applicable criteria of setting boundary of wetlands which consider their wetland vegetation and geographical characteristics, according to wetland classification. The proposed site in this study is selected wetlands that represent each wetland type and have been ecologically well preserved like the wetland protected areas. GIS data for setting the boundary of wetlands selected were land-cover maps, aerial photographs, high resolution satellite images, and digital topographic maps. In this study, 'wetland unit determination' of the Washington State Wetlands Rating System(WSDE, 1993) and the concept of 'Wetland and Deep-water Habitats' was suggested by Wetland Delineation Manual(USACE, 1987) were used as criteria for setting the boundary of wetlands. As a result, it was found that the boundary of wetlands could be, in general, set consistently. Also, it seemed possible to set systematic and standardized boundary of wetlands and to provide more objective data for establishing national wetland policies, if maps of wetlands are made and an investigation of wetlands is implemented according to the criteria.

This study was conducted to establish inventory and propose conservation strategy of 'village wetlands' in Cheonan. As results, the village wetlands are defined as such places as palustrine wetland, village embankment, agricultural reservoir or small reservoirs located in or near the village and related to everyday life or farming. Firstly 791 provisional village wetlands were identified in Cheonan by using Arc-GIS 10.1, then 104 wetlands were defined as village wetlands and listed the inventory of Cheonan Village Wetlands after being validated through their area (greater than $1,000m^2$), satellite images, Korea Land Information System, land use map, land coverage map and field survey. Finally the 49 wetlands were selected for detailed surveying, and function assessment. As the result of the wetland function assessments, 11 wetlands were found to have 'high' wetland function (conservation) 30 wetlands were 'average' (enhancement) and 8 wetlands were 'low' (restoration or enhancement). Enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services through ecological management of wetlands in Cheonan and connecting with an ecological network were proposed.

This study was carried out to propose the functional assessment and a wise use strategy on the ecologically valuable 'village wetlands' distributed in living area in Geumsan gun, Chungnam province, Korea. The targets of the functional evaluation were 24 wetlands, selected from 123 village wetlands, where villages and agricultural lands or core ecosystems are located within living area near the wetland and wetlands with historical and cultural significance. The functional evaluation was carried out by RAM (Rapid Assessment Model) and the conservation strategies were suggested. As a result of the functional evaluation, 9 wetlands were rated 'high' (2 'absolute conservation' and 7 'conservation' strategies), 14 wetlands were rated 'medium' ('enhancement' strategies), and one wetland was rated 'low' ('restore or enhancement' strategy). In consideration of the results of the functional evaluation, interviews with village residents, and historic meaning, 6 important village wetlands were selected that require additional management strategies, such as conservation, enhancement, and restoration. 2 wetlands were from "absolute conservation" strategy and 4 wetlands derived from "conservation" and "enhancement" strategy wetlands in consideration of the ecological connectivity of wetlands, the use of surrounding land, and the function as a biological habitat. The wise use and conservation strategy was specifically proposed respectively.

습지의 생태-사회적 가치는 인간사회에 혜택을 준다. 많은 나라들이 습지를 보전하고 보호하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 하지만 많은 습지들은 자연적 교란과 함께 인위적 교란으로 인해 소실되거나 구획화되었다. 구획화된 습지는 경관생태학적 연구의 주 대상이 되는데 이는 습지를 효율적으로 관리하고 보전하는 데 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 행정구역상 경상남도 습지의 공간-사회적 분포양상을 파악하기 위해서 습지의 분포와 크기, 습지 간의 거리, 습지의 경관학적 형태, 토지이용현황, 공시지가 등을 연구하였다. 경상남도 내에는 146개(3,598.85 ha)의 습지가 분포해 있고 하천습지가 76개(1,955.60 ha), 범람습지가 49개(1,282.28 ha), 산지습지가 21개(1,282.28 ha)이었다. 대부분의 습지들이 크기가 작고(<2 ha) 농경지에 둘러 쌓여 있었다. 많은 습지들이 구획화되어 있고 훼손상태가 심각하지만 하천습지와 농업용 수로를 이용하여 연결할 수 있는 것으로 보인다. 습지의 연결성 확대를 통한 습지서식처의 확장은 습지에 의존하여 서식하는 생물들의 보전에 매우 유의할 것으로 생각된다. 많은 습지들이 현재 농업용수확보를 위한 유지로 이용되고 있고 국유지의 비율이 높아 추후 습지의 훼손과 소실은 국가단위의 대규모 계획공사로 인할 가능성이 높으므로 생태적으로 민감한 행정과 법률의 개발이 습지의 보전과 관리를 위해 중요하다.

Wetlands provide vital habitats for fish and wildlife while offering numerous other benefits. As in some other countries, however, Taiwan has witnessed the loss of a significant portion of its coastal wetlands due to large-scale reclamation projects along the coast. Most of the wetlands that still remain are seriously being threatened by both human activities and natural changes, such as drainage for agricultural production, filling for industrial development, discharge of wastes and drought. The administrative performance of the existing authorities and legislation in Taiwan has mostly been ineffective in protecting these precious, sensitive areas. This paper introduces the distribution of wetlands in Taiwan and highlights their invaluable functions and potential economic value. It also discussed the recent activities, both initiated by the government and the NGOs, to protect wetlands in Taiwan. Based on the above discussion, the paper identifies the wide-range of current problems related to their management and proposes the vision should have to save wetlands for the future. It argues that establishing clear policies and effective institutional mechanisms on wetland protection and conservation, classifying the wetlands for better management, and fully promoting public awareness and consciousness of the importance of the wetlands will not only be beneficial but will also address the urgent need to safeguard the wetlands in Taiwan. Additionally, the paper recognizes that international cooperation and collaboration on wetland restoration is essential and most challenging.

The purpose of this study is to establish the management plannings for the conservation and environmentally friendly use of Korean coastal wetlands. The function, economic value, and the necessity for the conservation of coastal wetlands are described. The current management status, Korean Governmental policies for the use of coastal wetlands, and their problems are surveyed and analysed. The management plannings for the environmentally friendly use of Korean coastal wetlands is suggested as follows: (1) The coastal wetlands need to be divided into 3 different regions based on PSR(Pressure, State, Response) of OECD. (2) Each region should be managed by appropriate management plans which are suggested in Chapter IV of this paper. Finally, in order to realize these management plannings the change of Governmental system and laws are suggested as follows: (1) The change of relevant laws is required. Additionally, each region should managed by proper governmental agencies. (2) The EIA(Environmental Impact Assessment) system should be improved. (3) The participation of regional people should be guaranteed in the decision making processes of the business and other important planning regarding coastal wetlands. (4) The system which primed the ecological value of coastal wetlands should be established.

습지는 교란에 의해 주변 유역으로부터 과잉수, 퇴적물, 영양염, 기타 오염물 등이 축적되는 흡수원으로서 기능하기 때문에 외래종에 의한 생물학적 침입에 취약하다. 본 연구는 내륙습지 유형에 따른 외래식물의 출현현황 및 특성을 파악하기 위하여, 생태우수습지 24개소를 대상으로 유형을 분류하고 외래식물상을 분석하였다. 조사 대상 습지에서 발견된 외래식물은 총 130종으로 출현 식물 총 종수의 11%를 차지하였다. 이 중 국화과가 40종으로 가장 많았으며, 출현빈도가 높은 종은 개망초와 달맞이꽃이었다. 습지 유형별로는 하천형과 호수형 습지에서 평균 30종 내외로 평균 10종 미만인 산지형 습지보다 외래식물 종풍부도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 인위적인 간섭정도를 나타내는 귀화율, 도시화지수, 일·이년생 비율에서도 동일한 결과가 나타났다. 군집분석에서는 하천형 습지와 호수형 습지가 혼재되었으며, 산지형 습지만 별도로 분리되었다. 산지형 습지는 외래종수가 현저하게 적은 것은 물론 다른 습지 유형에서 발견되지 않은 주걱개망초, 컴프리, 나도닭의덩굴의 영향으로 판단된다. 특히 미국쑥부쟁이, 돼지풀, 가시박, 단풍잎돼지풀 등 생태계교란생물은 하천형 습지에서 집중적으로 발견되었다. 따라서 인위적인 간섭강도가 높은 하천형 및 호수형 습지에서 외래식물 확산 요인을 고려한 체계적인 관리가 시급한 것으로 판단된다.

Wetlands are generally thought to be among the most fertile and productive ecosystems of the world. They provide a variety of ecological functions to the landscape. In recent years there has been considerable research activity to generate more scientific documentation on the ecological functions of wetlands. Many pollutants released to the environment settle and accumulate in the silt and mud called sediment on the bottoms of wetlands. Contaminated sediment can cause adverse effects to aquatic organism and eventually to ecological system. Sediment toxicity test with water fleas has been done by standardized preparation method of pore and elutriate water methods described in the literature for the need to protect Woopo wetlands. The results of Daphnia magna, Ceridaphnia dubla and Simocephalus sp. toxicity test were compared and discussed in terms of the relative sensitivity and discrimination abilities with both pore and elutriate water obtained from the sediments of Woopo wetlands.
