Korean society has been recently promoting the restoration of coastal wetlands. These efforts might become the basis of a policy framework that compensates for the limitations of a regulation-oriented policy such as the designation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The shift in government policy could contribute to strengthening the socioeconomic infrastructure of coastal development through the accumulation of ecological capital. Although our scientific efforts and social demands in regard to the ecological restoration of the coastal wetlands have increased during the past years, the bases for restoration in Korea requires that scientific, technological, financial, social and legal aspects be enhanced. The present study re-examined the concept and attitudes behind coastal wetland restoration in the light of changing circumstances in Korea. Herein, we first defined coastal wetland restoration as "An act of recovering the functions of the ecosystem of coastal wetlands to a state that resembles conditions prior to being damaged." Next, this study discussed the limitations and future directions of such restoration efforts based on the descriptive analyses of recent restoration practices from social, economic, and technological aspects. Finally, we suggest future policy directions regarding coastal wetland restoration on the basis of a PFST (Policy, Financial, Social, and Technological) analysis; 1) re-arranging legal mechanisms, 2) setting multi-dimensional restoration goals, 3) establishing a multi-discipline- and convergence based R&D system, 4) linking spatial management and local development to the restoration, 5) building restoration governance at the local level, 6) implementing an ecosystem service payment system, and 7) applying test-bed projects in accordance with proper directions.

습지생태계는 유수에 의한 침식과 퇴적활동, 수력에 의해 형성된 수문지형 단위, 계절적 변화 등 다양한 요소의 상호작용의 산물이다. 습지생태계는 복합적이고 다양한 생태적 기능을 발휘하면서, 더욱이 습지생태계 유형 자체의 다양성이 있을뿐 아니라, 유역과 같은 다른 생태계와의 경계선이 불명확한 것이 특징이다. 습지생태계에 영향을 미치는 요소의 분류와 통합적 이해가 필요함에도 불구하고 적절하고 체계적인 관리가 미흡하다. 과거 미국 야생동물 관리청(1979)에서 개발된 체계는 계와 아계, 강과 아강, 수영역 및 화학, 수문지형 단위, 우점 유형 등의 계층적 위계로 습지생태계를 분류하였다. 본 연구는 우리나라 습지생태계의 체계적이고 현명한 관리 체계 수립의 일환으로 미국 야생동물 관리청의 분류체계를 심층 검토, 분석하여 기 조사된 국내의 습지생태계에 적용함으로써 국내 습지생태계에 적합한 분류체계 개발의 가능성을 검증하고자 수행되었다. 분류 대상지로 선정된 우리나라 7개 습지생태계는 상위계급의 습지생태계 유형을 포함하였으며, 표본지점 중심의 제한적인 적용에도 불구하고 다양한 습지생태계 유형으로 분류되었다. 또한 3개의 소호소 습지생태계의 적용 결과에서는 무제치늪과 왕등재늪의 두 습지생태계가 수문지형 단위 체계까지는 동일한 유형으로 분류되었으나 우점/특정 유형이 다른 습지생태계로 분류되었다. 이에 비해 대암산 용늪의 경우 강(綱)수준에서 다른 유형으로 분류되어, 앞서의 두 습지생태계와는 다른 유형으로 분류되었다. 이러한 결과는 관리 및 보전 체계 정립에 있어서, 무제치늪과 왕등재늪은 동일한 수준에서 관리되어야 함을 의미한다. 지금까지 훼손되어 사라져버린 습지생태계의 정확한 양은 알 수 없으나, 남아있는 습지생태계를 보전할 수 있는 기회는 아직도 우리에게 있다. 무엇보다 시급한 일은 모든 습지생태계 유형의 정확한 분류와 목록 작성, 생태적 기능에 체계적인 조사 및 연구가 필요하다.

Urbanization has been causing such new pollutants as micro-plastic, thus the environmental impact of new pollutants on ecosystem is rapidly increasing. When it comes to micro-plastic, a representative artificial trace pollutant, its risk has been increased at a much faster rate, however the depth study associated with stormwater sediment and wetland was relatively rare. In this research, soil samples from storm water sediment were analyzed for distribution characteristics of micro-plastics in the J wetland (registered as Ramsar wetland, May 2021 and a representative environmental site in South Korea). Analyzed soil samples found approximately 201 ± 93 particle/kg (based on unit weight, Total micro plastic particles / Total Sample weight) micro-plastics in the samples. When considering the total quantitative numbers in stormwater sediment in the entire area of the J wetland, over 15,000 micro-plastics were estimated to be contaminating such area. In addition, in terms of qualitative numbers, micro-plastics were contaminating the J wetland with 94.7 % ratio of styrofoam type (43.9%) and polyethylene type (50.8%). These research results can be used as base data sets for controlling micro-plastics in the J wetland.

This study was established to build and suggest the Ecological Performance Standards for replaced wetlands as the mitigation strategies for the construction projects. The request performance and assessment factors and standards were derived by bibliographic review and verified by the field survey for the reference wetlands. And the weights for each factor were derived by AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) method. The results are as follows : 1) Assessment factors were induced by in-depth research of many wetland assessment models and benchmarks evaluated ecological functions. This study proposed final 12 assessment factors through ecological specialist and experts interviews added with literature analysis. 2) 10 natural wetlands were selected as Reference Wetlands as the measure to propose assessment factors and assessment criteria. Those reference wetlands are well-conserved inland natural wetlands classified to the one having worthy to conserve (grade "high") according to RAM(Rapid Assessment Method). Reference wetlands chosen by the study are Parksilji, Jeongyangji, Mulkubi, Bawineupkubi, Jilnalneup, Jinchonneup, Doomoso, Haepyung wetland, Whangjeong wetland, and Whapo wetland. The research developed assessment criteria for the performance assessment factors based on several explorations of the reference wetlands. 3) "Requiring performance" of replaced wetlands is defined as "to carry out similar or same ecological functions provided by natural wetlands", in overall. The detailed requiring performances are as follows; ${\bullet}$ to play a role of wildlife habitats ${\bullet}$ to have biological diversity ${\bullet}$ to connect with other ecosystems ${\bullet}$ to provide water environment to perform good ecological functions 4) The assessment factors for required performance are categorized by wildlife habitat function, biological diversity, connectivity of adjacent ecosystem, and water environment. Wildlife habitat category is consisted of wildlife habitat creation, size of replacement wetland, and site suitability. Biological diversity category contains the number of plant species, the number of wildlife species, and number of protected species as the sub-factors. Connectivity of adjacent ecosystem is comprised of wildlife corridor, green network and distance from other ecosystem. Finally, water environment make up with water quality, depth of water body, and shape of waterfront. 5) Finally, every assessment factors were verified and weighted by the AHP methods and the final standards were proposed. The weights of factors of requiring performance suggested as habitat (0.280), connectivity (0.261), diversity (0.260), hydraulic environment (0.199). And those of detailed sub-factors are site suitability (0.118), protected species (0.096), distance to neighbor ecosystem (0.093), habitat creating (0.091), green corridor (0.090) etc.

습지는 물과 물 생태계의 점이지대로서 생태학적 및 경제학적 가치가 매우 높다. 내륙 담수습지 중에서 가장 중요한 하천습지는 서식지라기보다 유로(channel)로 인식되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 하류 연안의 지류 내에 형성된 자연습지의 특성을 고찰하고 그 관리방안을 모색하였다. 지류 내의 자연습지는 하천이 중간 규모일수록 본류에서 먼 곳에 넓게 소택지를 이룬다. 이것은 자연습지가 지류의 하상종단곡선에 빙기에 굴삭된 구간과 간빙기에 매적된 구간이 불협화로 만나는 구간에 형성되기 때문이다. 이러한 자연습지들을 효과적으로 보전하기 위해서는 습지의 세부사항을 목록화 하고 정밀 지도를 작성하여야 한다. 그리고 자연습지를 개간한 농경지의 일부를 습지생태계로 되돌려 생태학습장이나 생태관광지로 개발하는 역간척이 필요하다.

The Yong-neup of Mt. Daeam, which was designated as Korea's National Monument No.246 in 1973, is a high moor, and it has been managed with the designation as an ecosystem conservation area, Ramsar wetlands, and wetland conservation area. With the closing of the officially announced 5-year period for 'No-Trespassing' on the ecosystem conservation area starting August, 2010, it becomes necessary to arrange a systematic management and conservation scheme in consideration of the access & use of the visitors and Yong-neup's potential change into land consequent on making it open to the public. This study thinks that in order to preserve the Yong-neup, it's necessary to prepare the conservation plan for the program operation for exterminating exotic species, development of replacement wetlands and nurseries, access limit through zone categorization, establishment of environment-monitoring system, institutional management support, and establishment of managing facilities, etc., and to make scientific approaches, such as survey on wetland ecosystem, establishment of inventories, wetland monitoring, and drawing up of wetland ecology maps, etc. In addition, it is required that there should be adequate considerations of restoration of slope faces, drains, artificial embankment, water-collecting wells, roads for military operations, and wild-boar-stricken areas, etc., and should be continuous and systematic management of Yong-neup through the wise use of residents' participation-style maintenance, organization of a consultative body, introduction of CEPA programs, and introduction of visiting facilities and alternative transportation system, etc.
