Estuary is a transitional zone between river and ocean environment that receives the maritime and riverine influence simultaneously. Estuaries are the most productive habitats because their incoming water provides large quantities of nutrients. The Seomjin River estuary, located in the middle south of Korea, has no barrage and shows natural characteristic of estuary. However, due to dredging and reclamation the environment of the estuary has been changed significantly in the river mouth. In addition, increased freshwater intake in midstream of the Seomjin River results in salinity intrusion. In this paper salinity variation in downstream estuary of the Seomjin River has been simulated and tested using EFDC model. The results of simulation were compared with measured data collected at three points, Culture & Art Center, Sumjin Iron Bridge, and Mokdori, located at 9Km, 14Km, and 15.5Km respectively from downstream estuary. Based on the simulated results, the contribution of the flushing discharge has been evaluated in preventing the salinity intrusion by increasing the discharge flowrates released from the Juam dam.

The behavior characteristics of the saltwater intrusion in the Seomjin River Estuary by the inflow of fresh water were analysed by the field observation using CTD in the neap tide in January, June, and August 2013 as well as a numerical model, EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code). As a result, Seomjin River Estuary is found that the saltwater intrusion is sensitive to the tide and tidal and freshwater flow. The results of field observation and numerical model were similar in the range of salt, but the results of salt wedge distribution were quite different. The observation of tide and tidal current as well as hydrographic surveying the Seomjin River Estuary will be jointly conducted for the accurate analysis.

In order to estimate the nutrient flux of the Seomjin River into the coastal waters of South Sea, and to understand the estuarine reactions during mixing between river water and seawater, we collected surface water along the salinity gradient in the Seomjin River estuary from Mar. 1999 to Apr. 2001. We found that nitrate and silicate were delivered by fluvial input, while phosphate was, supplied from disposed wastes in the Gwangyang Bay. Mean annual flux of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), phosphate and silicate into the Gwangyang Bay was estimated 10.9 molesㆍsec$^{-1}$(4,820 tonnesㆍyr$^{-1}$), 0.07 molesㆍsec$^{-1}$(68 tonnesㆍyr$^{-1}$), 13.3 molesㆍsec$^{-1}$(11,747 tonnesㆍy$^{-1}$), respectively. An evident removal of phosphate, silicate and ammonium at the mid-salinity zone during the dry season was attributed to the active uptake of phytoplankton, and consequently nutrient flux into the Gwangyang Bay was low. Whereas, during the flood season in summer, conservative or additional distribution of the nutrients was observed in the estuary. As a rsult nutrient flux into the Gwangyang Bay was maintained high. High concentrations of chlorophyll a and the active removal of nutrient during the dry season at the mid-salinity zone suggest that nutrient distribution in the Seomjin River estuary was mainly controlled by biological processes and nutrient fluxes into the Gwangyang Bay might be significantly modified of by the primary production.

섬진강 하구역을 중심으로 광양만과 여수해만에서의 동시 관측한 염분의 현장관측자료의 분석과 기상, 조석, 하천유출수 및 온배수를 고려한 3차원 수치모델(EFDC) 결과를 이용하여 섬진강 하구역의 3차원 혼합특성을 파악하였다. 수치모델에 고려된 입력조건은 수심, 기상, 하천유출수 및 온배수 등이며, 개방경계에서는 염분 및 조석을 고려하여 수치모의하였다. 수치모델 검증은 조위 2개 정점과 조류 2개 정점의 조화분석을 통한조화상수 비교를 통하며 모델결과가 관측결과와 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인하였고, 조시별 유동장을 잘 재현하고 있음을 확인하였다. 동계 및 하계시 월평균 하천유출수를 고려하여 수치모의한 결과, 동계에는 32.0 psu의 등염분선이 섬진강 하구에 국한되어지나, 하계에는 30.0psu의 등염분선이 하천유출량의 영향으로 섬진강 하구역으로 확장되어짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 섬진강 하구역의 3차원 혼합특성은 전반적으로 섬진강 유출량의 변동, 해수유동구조 및 온배수 등에 의해 복잡한 형태를 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The concentration and size analysis of in-situ suspended particulate material were measured using an optical instrument, LISST-100, in the bottom layer at the three inlets of the Seomjin River Estuary, mouth of Gwangyang bay, and Gwangyang bay-side of the Namhae Bridge. In the Seomjin river estuary and mouth of Gwangyang bay-side of the Namhae Bridge, the in-situ mean grain size of the suspended material changed from a uni-modal distribution with a dominant peak at a coarse fraction to a bi-modal distribution with a secondary peak at the finer particles. Seomjin River. The interactions between suspended particulate concentration and beam attenuation coefficient of suspended particulate matters depended on the supply of finer and coarser particles in the mouth of Gwangyang Bay and Seomjin River. So, interactions reflected difference of the concentration, mean size and sorting of suspended particulate matters. The difference of interaction showed dynamic behaviors to the resuspension and deflocculation processes increased river discharge. This showed that it may be possible to use the interactions between the suspended particle concentration and beam attenuation coefficient to monitor the temporal and spatial distributions of in-situ particles.

섬진강 및 영산강 하구의 환경변화에 따른 식물플랑크톤의 상관성을 조사하기 위해, 2016년 4월부터 11월까지 매월 현장조사를 수행하였다. 조사 정점에서 용존무기질소(DIN, dissolved inorganic nitrogen)와 규산염(DSi, dissolved silicate)은 강으로부터 유입되는 담수의 영향을 강하게 받았다. 특히 섬진강하구에서는 DIN과 DSi가 내측에서 점차적으로 외해로 확산되는 특성을 보였으나, 영산강 하구는 복잡한 지형학적 특징으로 내측과 외해와 잘 섞이지 않았다. 식물플랑크톤 분류군별 지표색소를 활용하여 분류군별 분포를 조사하였다. 규조류 지표색소인 fucoxanthin은 섬진강, 영산강 하구에서 각각 평균 0.61±1.00 ㎍ l^-1, 0.76±1.22 ㎍ l^-1로 나타나, chlorophyll a 이외 다른 색소에 비해 2배 이상 높은 농도를 나타내었다. 와편모조류 지시색소 peridinin은 현미경 검경결과와 와편모조류의 출현양상과 유사한 경향을 보였다. 소형 녹조류, 은편모조류, 남조류는 현미경으로 관찰되지 않았으나, 각각의 지표색소 chlorophyll b, alloxanthin, zeaxanthin은 일정하게 검출되어, 하구역 내 상기와 같은 종의 출현가능성을 시사하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구의 색소분석을 통하여, 하구역 상류의 환경 특성이 연안내만생태에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 밝혔다. 특히 영산강 하구는 인공적인 배수갑문의 독특한 특성으로, 대량방류되는 담수에 의하여 연안내만에서 관찰되는 담수종이 일시적으로 분포하였다.

본 논문에서는 비교적 잘 보존되어 있지만 개발의 위협에 직면해 있는 섬진강 하구의 환경가치를 추정하고자 한다. 특히 하구의 4가지 속성에 대한 가치를 도출하기 위해 다속성 효용이론에 근거한 조건부 가치측정법(CVM)을 적용하되, CVM 연구에서 지켜야 할 다양한 지침을 엄격하게 준수하면서 가구조사를 시행하였다. 구체적으로 하구 인근지역(광양, 순천, 여수, 하동, 남해) 300가구와 7개 대도시 지역(서울, 부산, 인천, 대구, 대전, 광주, 울산) 350 가구를 무작위로 추출하여 일대일 개별면접을 통해 섬진강 하구 관리방안에 대해 얼마나 지불할 의사가 있는지를 물었다. 응답자들은 전반적으로 조건부 시장을 잘 받아들였으며, 가구당 연 평균 지불의사액은 하구 인근지역의 경우 5,763원, 7개 대도시 지역의 경우 1,883원으로 분석되어 지역에 따라 큰 차이가 났다. 이 값을 해당 지역의 모집단으로 확장하였더니, 각각 연간 15.2억 원 및 140.5억 원이었다. 이 값은 하구의 보존 대 개발과 관련된 계획 수립 및 의사결정에 있어서 중요한 정량적 정보로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Water circulation plays a crucial role in regulating the salinity of estuaries, which is essential for the survival of estuarine organisms. Changes in freshwater inflows or sea level can have significant impacts on the distribution and abundance of species within these ecosystems. To better understand these dynamics, this paper presents a study of water circulation and salinity distribution in Seomjin River estuary using the Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM) numerical model. An extreme scenario was simulated to assess the potential impact of tidal currents and river flow discharge on circulation and salinity distribution. The results of this study have important implications for managing estuarine ecosystems and conserving their associated biodiversity.

This study was conducted at Seomjin River estuary to identify the causative species of algal bloom and their blooming cycles. Field surveys were conducted at 4 stations in every week from April to December of 1999. Thirty species were observed as the causative species of alga bloom. Skeletonema costatum, Thalassiosira sp., and microflagellate spp. (mixed red tide: Chroomonas sp. and two species of Prasinophycea) made algal blooms during the present study period. In addition, toxic algal species of diatom Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries and dinoflagellate Dinophysis acuminata were observed. The algal blooms were caused by microflagellate spp. in June, Thalassiosira sp. in July and Skeletonema costatum in August. Generally, the algal blooms persisted for about 5 days in this area.
