The 3.5kHz sub-bottom profiling was carried out over both Gwangyang Bay and the Yeo Sound . High -resolution digital images of uppermost sediment layers are obtained from the field data which were originally recorded in analog mode. Most prominent feature along the acoustic profiles is the chaotic reflections which imply the presence of shallow gas within the silty sediments. In the western part of Gwangyang Bay, the gas-charged sediments are assoicated with the acoustic turbidity of the blanket type. Across the Seomjin Delta in the eastern part of Gwangyang Bay, the gas-charged seismic facies are observed just beneath the sea bottom. In the western Yeoul Sound , the gassy seiments occur widely , whereas it is rare in the eastern counterpart with the <30-m-deep channel. We postulate that this gas was biogenetically produced within the organic-rich deposits.

The countries are trying to expand the sea limit such as the territorial sea, fishing zone or the exclusive economic zone as far as the Law of the Sea permit to do for the benefit of their national interest. Especially, they are eager to claim the base point where it locates far from the coastline even if it is uninhabited island or reef under the sea. The baseline has been claimed to maximize the territorial sea. Another way to expand the sea limit is to lower the vertical datum to change the land limit. China claimed Dongdo which is located about 79 miles far from the coast as the base point. Japan also claimed many uninhabited island or the reef which is located very far from the coast such as Okino Dorishima. As Korea is the party who negotiate the maritime limit with Japan and China, we should be keen and sensitive on the issues claimed by neighboring countries in terms of base point and the baseline. This paper is to review the characteristics of the base points or baselines of neighboring countries and to suggest the views how to maintain and to relocate our base points. As western coast of Korean peninsula is one of the largest tide fluctuation zone in the world, with long tidal record to prove the vertical datum adjustment, Korea can find the way to lower the vertical datum especially in Yellow Sea. So, major and critical tidal station has to be set up along the western coast to verify tide fluctuation record which can be met with international standard.

The reclamation area of Saemangeum(Kunsan) located between 126。10´E - 126。50´ E and 35。35´N - 36。05´N at the western coast of Korea. The construction of the 33km sea dike is building in the Saemangeum area. When the construction of the sea dike in the coastal region takes plase, there exists, a certain amount of soil which is diffused by the tidal current. (omitted)

A mysid, Neomysis awatschensis(Brandt), which distributes abundantly in brackish lakes, estuaries and salt marshes along the southern and western coast of Korea, from Kimhae to Inchon is described and recorded as new to Korea. The world distribution of the species are also revised with short discussion.

The top shell, Omphalius rusticus (Gastropoda: Trochidae), is marine mollusk inhabiting underneath a rock in the intertidal zone of the coasts of Korea and Japan, and it is one of the edible gastropods. This species is a herbivorous animal. Up to now, there have been some reports on the Trochidae: aspects of classification, spawning periodicity, production, growth and size-frequency distribution of living populations, feeding, reproductive cycle, and induction of larval metamorphosis.

대기오염물질이 대기중에 배출되게 되면 그 일부는 오염 발생원의 인접한 지표면에 건성 침착하여 제거되지만 그 대부분은 장거리 이동하면서 2차 오염물질로 변환되어 건성침착 (dry deposition)하거나 강수시 습성 침착 (wet deposition)에 의해 지표면으로 제거된다 (원 굉, 1991, Legge and Krupa, 1990). 습성침착의 대표적인 형태로는 강우와 강설이 있으며, 이것은 대기중 오염물질이 지표로 제거되는 중요한 경로라 하겠다. (중략)

A new species of leuconid cumaceans, Nippoleucon projectus n. sp. is described on the basis of the specimens collected from western shallow coast of the South Korea. This new species is easily distinguished from two previously recorded species (N. hinumensis and N. enoshimensis) in having the fifth abdominal segment prominently projected to rear at dorsal posterior portion and the carapace of the female with three spines on the frontal lobe.

In Soft ground of south-western coast of our country necessity of marine indutrial complex and container facility has been remarkable. Site construction for habor facility is one of the most urgent problems. Consolidation of dredged fill has become important task. In addition, volume change of dredged fill should be examined carefully. This study dealt with consolidation of dredged fill by PCDDF and in order to secure trafficability of heavy equipment for surface treatment should be studied.
