Korea actively endeavors to improve the national marine environmental laws and regulations. Along with the growing global concern on the importance of marine environment, the concern is also increasing nationwide in Korea. These institutional changes in Korea have implications in that it has started to internalize the Sustainable Development Principle and the Precautionary Principle in the form of 'law' and 'policy.' The enactment efforts for conservation and sustainable use of marine environment will continue as the legal demand of public for coastal erosion prevention and climate change mitigation increases. This calls for robust revision for more logical framework and coherence of marine environment laws and regulations as well as efficient implementation of policies. In addition, it is strongly required that the systematical research and survey as well as the robust reversion of laws and policies should be taken accordingly for the effective conservation of marine environment.

As recently, 'International convention for the control and management of ship's ballast water and sediments' was adopted, it is necessary to accept the international convention in Korea The movements of foreign countries for ship's ballast water control and management were investigated, and domestic environment-related laws were reviewed and compared regarding the discharge of industrial wastewater and ship's ballast water. Alternative measures of domestic legislation were suggested for acceptance of the international convention.

Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has progressed rapidly, and industries using this technology are significantly increasing. Further, analysis research using text mining, which is an application of artificial intelligence, is being actively developed in the field of social science research. About 125 laws, including joint laws, have been enacted under the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries in various sectors including marine environment, fisheries, ships, fishing villages, ports, etc. Research on the laws under the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has been progressively conducted, and is steadily increasing quantitatively. In this study, the domestic research trends were analyzed through text mining, targeting the research papers related to laws of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. As part of this research method, first, topic modeling which is a type of text mining was performed to identify potential topics. Second, co-occurrence network analysis was performed, focusing on the keywords in the research papers dealing with specific laws to derive the key themes covered. Finally, author network analysis was performed to explore social networks among authors. The results showed that key topics have been changed by period, and subjects were explored by targeting Ship Safety Law, Marine Environment Management Law, Fisheries Law, etc. Furthermore, in this study, core researchers were selected based on author network analysis, and the tendency for joint research performed by authors was identified. Through this study, changes in the topics for research related to the laws of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries were identified up to date, and it is expected that future research topics will be further diversified, and there will be growth of quantitative and qualitative research in the field of oceans and fisheries.

Offshore-aquaculture is a new idea, has emerged as an alternative method, which can minimize the damage to the natural disaster due to the environment pollution by the fish farming activities in the coast and overcome the problems of vicious cycle in fish farming management. On the other hand, as the current fish farming laws and institutions focus on the support for offshore-aquaculture, having the limit to revitalizing and supporting the fish farming business in the open sea, it is necessary to amend the laws and institutions related to fish farm. We should be establish in connection with offshore-aquaculture, after the study aims at examining the foreign laws and institutions in such countries as USA and Norway, establishing the methods for the future laws and institutions of open sea fish farm through the analysis of the issues and controversies in the process of enactment in Korea.

As recently, ' International convention for the control and management of ship's ballast water and sediments ' was adopted, it is necessary to accept the international convention in Korea. The systems of foreign countries for ship's ballast water control and management were investigated, and domestic environment-related laws were reviewed and compared regarding the discharge of industrial wastewater and ship's ballast water. Alternative measures of domestic legislation were suggested for acceptance of the international convention.

The quantitative increase in maritime transport for domestic and foreign trade is one of the main reasons for the increase in marine pollution accidents. Despite the implementation of relevant laws in each country to prevent and mitigate marine pollution accidents caused by ships, human negligence (carelessness, intention, etc.) by ship workers has been reported as the biggest cause of marine pollution accidents. One of the most effective ways to reduce marine pollution accidents caused by ships is to reduce human negligence through systematic education and training of ship workers. Therefore, this study aimed to review the appropriateness of the statutory education and training curriculum for ship marine pollution prevention managers in accordance with domestic laws and regulations such as the 「Marine Environment Management Act」 and suggest improvement measures. To this end, we compared and analyzed the legal training·general education courses related to the prevention of marine pollution and marine disasters in Japan, where the laws and systems are similar to Korea, and investigated the cases of legal training for experts in land pollution prevention in Korea.

The 21st century is witnessing the explosive increase in the usage of internet and international electronic transactions. Due to the unique characteristics of the electronic information, substantial part of such transaction can and do take the form of cross-border transactions. However, there have not been settled appropriate set of rules applicable to the international electronic transactions. Currently, in respect to e-L/C transactions in international trade, there are laws such as Electronic Transaction Basic Act in our country, E-Trade Promotion Act, E-Signature Law, Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection and Marine Charter 5 in the Commercial Law. Nevertheless, a complete legislation, that is a uniform rule for e L/C which could support e L/C transactions fully hasn't been established yet. Accordingly, those laws concerned need to improve to regulate e-L/C transactions. The purpose of this paper is to look into the national status for law readjustment to prepare for a new electronic environment and to use appropriately the e-L/C issued by electronic means, and to conduct a comparative analysis on the related regulations to introduce a pertinent laws and propose related regulations to contribute to the making of effective laws to regulate e-L/C.

This paper considered the concept and characteristic OSV operation business for support the offshore plant and suggested amendment Maritime Transportation Laws, legislative proposals to solve the legal absence and to develop offshore service industry. Because Maritime Transportation Laws specialized for the carriage of passenger and goods by sea is not perfectly covered with Offshore support business in Korea. So it is necessary to make an explicit amendments for the article of Maritime Transportation Laws that founds absence of the law with the definition of terms to correspond related existed regulation reflected on the characteristic offshore support business by using OSV to develop offshore plant industry including support, service, supply, transportation etc. I expect that this paper will be a basic study to make a government policy, law, regulation to activate Offshore Service Industry in the future.
