Greate white sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, are found in almost all the temperate and tropical coastal waters around the world. There have been 19 appearances reported in Korean coastal waters since June 1996 and seven shark attacks have been reported. There are about 400 species of sharks in the world, and 41 species of them have been found in Korean coastal waters. Thirteen of them belong to the Carcharhinidae family, and five of them belong to the Squalidae family. Of these sharks, 15 species of them live off of the East coast, 18 species live off of the West coast, and the other 40 species are distributed around Jeju Island and the South coast. Eleven species of them, including the great white shark, live off of all the coastal waters of Korea.

We made intensive observations on the coastal upwelling off the coast of the southern East Sea from June to August in 2001. The upwelling exhibited a weekly waxing and waning. The coastal upwelling of the year 2001 was characterized by abrupt outbreaks and the small local scale. Upwelling occurred more frequently off the coast of Ulsan and Gampo as reported by the earlier observers. The spread of freshly upwelled colder water was varied by each upwelling event. Generally cold waters were carried away northeastward off Pohang province. The upwelled cold waters were saltier than the resident surface waters. The pH and salinity-normalized alkalinity support the idea that the upwelled waters originate from the interior of the East Sea. The extraordinarily high concentration of dissolved oxygen suggests that the upwelled waters are closely connected to the southward flowing North Korea Cold Current. Although a lower primary productivity was reported for the upwelling region, underway surface fluorescence measurement revealed that the recently upwelled waters supported up to an order of magnitude higher algal biomass than the ambient waters. Because thermohaline circulation of the East Sea is so vigorous, with an estimated time scale of less than one hundred years, that the coastal upwelling should be considered not as an anomaly but as a regular component of a circulatory system. A quantitative understanding of upwelling seems to be a key to elucidate material cycling and the associated biological production in the East Sea.

이 연구의 목적은 연안사고 예방을 위해 연안해역의 효율적 안전관리 방안을 살펴보는 것이다. 최근 연안해역에서 연간 약 800여 건의 크고 작은 연안사고가 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, 이 중 연평균 129명의 사망(실종)자가 발생하고 있어 대책이 필요하다. 이에 연안해역의 안전관리 담당기관인 해양경찰에서는 2014년 「연안사고예방법」을 제정하고, 지방자치단체, 해양수산부, 소방청 등의 관계기관과 협력하여 연안해역을 안전관리하고 있다. 그러나 국민의 삶의 질 향상에 따라 여가를 활용하여 수상, 수중, 낚시 등의 연안체험·레저활동이 급증하는 것에 비해, 해경의 인력 및 안전마인드가 부족하고, 국민의 안전의식이 미약하며, 관계기관의 관심 저조 및 협력 미흡, 안전관리시설물 부족 등으로 인하여 연안사고가 지속적으로 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 최근 연안사고 통계자료 등을 토대로 연안해역의 안전관리 실태와 문제점을 고찰하고, 외국의 연안해역 안전관리 사례를 분석하여 해양경찰의 안전마인드 제고 및 역량강화, 관계기관 간 협력 강화, 지자체의 역할 제고, 신기술 적용한 안전관리시설물 확충 및 관리 강화, 해양안전문화 확산, 민관협력거버넌스 활성화 등의 연안해역의 효율적 안전관리 개선방안을 제시한다.

1981년과 1982년 $4{\sim}6$월에 한국 남해와 서해 연근해에서 채집된 멸치의 난치어 및 해양관측 자료를 사용하여 수괴배치에 따른 멸치의 난치어의 분포를 분석하였다. 온도전선은 남해에서는 제주도와 대마도를 잇는 선상에서 한국남안연안수와 대마난류간에 형성되었고 서해에서는 태안반도이남해역과 해안선과 평행하게 남북으로 한국서안연안수와 황해냉수간에 형성되었다. 한국남해에서 멸치난은 온도전선 내측인 연안측에서, 멸치 치어는 온도전선을 중심으로 연안측과 외해측으로 분리되어 출현하였다. 그러나 한국서해에서 멸치난과 치어는 온도전선내측과 온도전선역인 $12^{\circ}C$ 이상의 해역에서만 출현하였다. 치어의 체장조성을 보면 남해에서는 연안측에서 전기자어가, 외해측에서 후기자어 및 치어기의 멸치가 주로 출현하였으나, 서해에서는 남부해역에서는 전기자어가 북부해역에서는 후기자어가 주로 출현하였다. 또한 온도전선의 경도가 큰 1981년에는 1982년에 비하여 난과 치어의 분포범위가 크게 제한을 받으므로서 전선의 강약은 난과 치어의 분포에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 추정된다.

The population variation of Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus niphonius) according to its major prey abundance was analyzed using monthly catches of coastal set net fisheries in the southern waters off Gyeongsangnam-do and eastern waters off Gyeongsangbuk-do of Korea from 2006 to 2019. The abundance of Spanish mackerel and its prey species fluctuated almost simultaneously with time lags of +2 to -2 months between the set net fisheries in the southern and eastern waters. The generalized additive model revealed that the abundance of Spanish mackerel was influenced by its prey species such as hairtail and anchovy in southern waters, and common mackerel and horse mackerel in eastern waters. The model deviance explained 49% and 42% of Spanish mackerel abundance in southern and eastern waters respectively. These results suggest that the abundance of Spanish mackerel is affected by seasonal migratory prey fish species in the coastal areas and can be linked to their northerly migration.

We studied behaviour pattern of anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) shoal by a method of shoal echo integration and tested species identification by a method of artificial neural network using the acoustic data collected in the East China Sea in March 1994 and in the southern coastal waters of the East Sea of Korea in March 1995. Between areas, frequency distribution of 10 shoal descriptors was different, which showed characteristics of shoal behaviour in size, bathymetric position and acoustic strength. The range and mean of shoal size distribution in length and height was wider and bigger in the southern coastal waters of the East Sea than in the East China Sea. Relative shoal size of China Sea. Fractal dimension of shoal was almost same in both areas. Mean volume reverbration index of shoal was 3 dB higher in the southern coastal waters of the East Sea than in the East China Sea. The depth layer of shoal distribution was related to bottom depth in the southern coastal waters of the East Sea, while it was between near surface and central layer in the East China Sea. Principal component analysis of shoal descriptors showed the correlation between shoal size and acoustic strength which was higher in the southern coastal waters of the East Sea, than in the East China Sea. Correlation was also found among the bathymetric positions of shoal to some degree higher in the southern coastal waters of the East Sea than in the East China Sea. The anchovy shoal of two areas was identified by artificial neural network. The contribution factor index (Cio) of the shoal descriptors between two areas were almost identical feature. The shoal volume reverberation index (Rv) was showed the highest contribution to the species identification, while shoal length and shoal height showed relatively high negative contribution to the species identification.

1996년 하계동안 한국 서해 대안반도 연근해에서 부유퇴적물의 총함량과 분포경향 및 부유물질의 입도특성을 측정하였고, 수온과 염분의 수괴특성치와 비교하여 부유퇴적물의 운반양상을 해석하였다. 연구해역의 하계 수괴 특성은 수온과 염분이 수직적으로 균질한 연안수괴와 수온약층이 뚜렷한 외양수괴로 구분되는 바, 연안수와 외양수는 강한 조석전선의 영향으로 활발하게 혼합되지 않았다. 그런데 경기만으로부터 유래된 저염의 연안수는 조석전선의 외양역에서 밀도약층대를 따라 중층 저염수를 형성하였고, 남쪽방향으로 이동하는 것으로 분석되었다. 부유물 총함량(TSM)은 경기만 입구의 연안수역에서 5 mg/l 이상으로 높았으며, 외양수역에서 대체로 2 mg/l 이하로 낮게 측정되었다. 외양수역에서는 수괴 홍탁도가 상층과 하층에 비하여 높게 나타나는 중층 혼탁수가 형성되었으며, 경기만 연안해역에서 유래한 부유물질은 위에서 설명된 수괴이동을 따라 남쪽방향으로 이동되는 것으로 규명된다. 부유물질의 입자크기는 전체적으로 2~9 ${\mu}m$의 평균입자 범위이며, 평균입자가 7 ${\mu}m$ 이상인 조립질 부유물은 경기만 연안수역의 혼탁수와 외양역 중층 저염수의 혼탁수에서 우세하다. 따라서 수괴분포와 연관된 부유물질의 입자특성은 부유물질의 이동과 거동방향의 해석에 긍정적인 자료로 여겨진다.

This study investigates the temporal and spatial variations of marine meterological elements (air temperature (Temp), Sea Surface Temperature (SST), and Significant Wave Height (SWH)) in seven coastal waters of South Korea, using hourly data observed at marine meteorological buoys (10 sites), Automatic Weather System on lighthouse (lighthouse AWS) (9 sites), and AWS (20 sites) during 2013-2017. We also compared the characteristics of Temp, SST, and air-sea temperature difference (Temp-SST) between sea fog and non-sea-fog events. In general, annual mean values of Temp and SST in most of the coastal waters were highest (especially in the southern part of Jeju Island) in 2016, due to heat waves, and lowest (especially in the middle of the West Sea) in 2013 or 2014. The SWH did not vary significantly by year. Wind patterns varied according to coastal waters, but their yearly variations for each coastal water were similar. The maximum monthly/seasonal mean values of Temp and SST occurred in summer (especially in August), and the minimum values in winter (January for Temp and February for SST). Monthly/seasonal mean SWH was highest in winter (especially in December) and lowest in summer (June), while the monthly/seasonal variations in wind speed over most of the coastal waters (except for the southern part of Jeju Island) were similar to those of SWH. In addition, sea fog during spring and summer was likely to be in the form of advection fog, possibly because of the high Temp and low SST (especially clear SST cooling in the eastern part of South Sea in summer), while autumn sea fog varied between different coastal waters (either advection fog or steam fog). The SST (and Temp-SST) during sea fog events in all coastal waters was lower (and more variable) than during non-sea-fog events, and was up to -5.7℃ for SST (up to 5.8℃ for Temp-SST).

We conducted a time-series analysis of temperature and salinity of sea water around Jeju Island, Korea. Monthly mean temperature and salinity was influenced by precipitation and weather conditions on Jeju as well as by oceanographic conditions of the open sea such as the Tsushima Warm Current and sea water in coastal areas. Salinity of Jeju coastal waters was the highest in April, and it was always over 34.00 psu with tiny fluctuation between December and June. Due to the effects of the Tsushima Warm Current, Jeju coastal waters maintained high salinity and stability. Low salinity and its large fluctuations during summer were closely associated with the China Coastal Water and precipitation in Jeju. The place of the lowest water temperature was the northeast coasts of Jeju (Gimneong, Hado, Jongdalri). In winter, as warmer water of the Tsushima Warm Current appeared in western area of Jeju dwindled flowing along the northern coasts of Jeju area and becoming cool, the lowest water temperature often appeared locally in Gimnyeong and its vicinitly in summer. The Tsushima Warm Current flows into the east entrance of Jeju Strait, but its influence is weak because of geometry and strong vertical mixing due to fast tidal currents.

Measurements of ocean color from space since 1970s provided vital information with reference to physical and biogeochemical properties of the oceanic waters. The utility of these data has been explored in order to map and monitor highly toxic/or harmful algal blooms (HABs) that affected most of coastal waters throughout the world due to accelerated eutrophication from human activities and certain oceanic processes. However, the global atmospheric correction and bio-optical algorithms developed for oceanic waters were found to yield false information about the HABs in coastal waters. The present study aimed to evaluate the potential use of red tide index (RI) method, which has been developed by Ahn and Shanmugam (2005), for mapping of HABs in Korean and neighboring waters. Here we employed the SSMM to remove the atmospheric effect in the SeaWiFS image data and the achieved indices by RI method were found more appropriate in correctly identifying potential areas of the encountered HABs in Korean South Sea (KSS) and Chinese coastal waters during 1999-2004. But the existence of high absorbing and scattering materials greatly interfered with the standard OC4 algorithm which falsely identified red tides in these waters. In comparison with other methods, the RI approach for the early detection of HABs can provide state managers with accurate identification of the extent and location of these blooms as a management tool.
