This study aims to understand marine therapy through an overall review of the marine therapy industry and provide basic data for policy establishment on marine therapy based on this. Talasotherapy refers to the medical use of marine climate, seawater, marine mud, algae, sand and other marine extracts, which are beneficial components of the ocean for preventive and therapeutic purposes. Centers in Taean, Goseong, Uljin, and other marine healing pilot projects should be well combined with programs within rehabilitation clinics so that local tourism and marine healing programs can be combined, and how well the existing marine infrastructure is established is a very important factor. Establish legal and institutional foundations, inter-ministerial and central-local cooperative governance by reorganizing laws and regulations related to marine healing and establishing a cooperative system between ministries and regions. It is necessary to expand the function of the marine therapy R&D project to play a role as a marine therapy center for each coastal region.
