The Continental shelf is important part of the coastal states' jurisdiction at sea, because there are many natural resources in continental shelf. This paper examines the concept and legal status of the continental shelf, the limit of the continental shelf, and expecially the rights and duties of the coastal state relating to its continental shelf.

Artificial islands, installations and structures have been used as a major means for ocean development and management since the early 20th century. The International legal regime to regulate the man-made offshore structures also have evolved and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) acts as a basic international instrument for that purpose. Although the Convention includes more detailed provisions on man-made offshore structures, there are some legal issues regarding jurisdiction of coastal State on the man-made offshore structures in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) or on the Continental shelf. For this reason, this article begins by reviewing the 1958 Convention on the Continental shelf and the UNCLOS by focusing on the EEZ and the Continental shelf regime governing the man-made offshore structures. It next examines some controversial international legal issues that have emerged from the regulation of man-made offshore structures in the EEZ or on the Continental shelf. This is followed by a review of the Korean domestic laws regulating artificial islands, installations and structures in the EEZ or on the continental shelf. Finally, it closes by summarizing the findings of the above examinations, and suggests some recommendations for future works.

A reference to natural prolongation appeared for the first time in the North Sea Judgement. Although it was not suggested that the concept of natural prolongation would automatically allow for the fixing of a continental shelf boundary, that concept encouraged States to request international tribunals to determine continental shelf boundaries on the basis of the geological and geomorphological features of the seabed. In the Libya v. Malta Case, however, the rejection of geological and geomorphological factors was total. Especially, Natural prolongation was the then checkmated as a relevant fact in delimitation between coasts situated less than 400 nm. apart. There can be no doubt that, in several disputed cases, prominent geomorphological variations are simply ignored ; nevertheless, there are also a few agreements where geological and geomorphological characteristics come into play and, to a certain extent, affect maritime boundaries. Physical characteristics of sea-bed are generally given serious consideration in the boundary delimitation such as the final negotiated boundary of the Australia-Indonesia Continental Shelf boundary Agreement(Timor and Arafura seas) which follows the continental slope bordering the Timor Trench.

동해안 감포 외해역 대륙붕 정점과 대륙사면 정점에서 퇴적층에 도래한 유기물의 보존도를 비교 파악하기 위해 퇴적물 시료를 얻었다. 공극수 영양염 및 총이산화탄소 농도는 모두 대륙사면 정점보다 대륙붕 정점에서 높았다. 반면, 공극수 황산염 농도는 대륙사변 정점보다 대륙붕 정점에서 퇴적깊이 증가에 따라 더 급격히 감소하였다. 퇴적물내 유기탄소 및 질소 함량은 대륙붕 정점에서 퇴적깊이 증가에 따라 더 급격히 감소하였으며, 함량 자체도 대륙사면 정점에 비하여 더 적었다. 이와 감은 공극수 용존화학종 농도자료 및 퇴적물내 유기물 함량자료는 대륙사면 정점보다 대륙붕 정점에서 유기물의 분해가 더 활발히 진행되고 있음을 시사한다. 따라서, 적어도 본 조사해역에서는 퇴적물내 유기물이 대륙붕 보다는 대륙사면에서 더 효과적으로 보존되는 것으로 사료된다.

울릉분지 남서부의 대륙붕-대륙사면 해저지형과 지질 특성을 규명하고, 이들에 영향을 주는 지질학적 요인을 파악하기 위하여 다중빔 음향측심자료와 표층퇴적물 입도를 분석하였다. 연구지역의 대륙붕은 약 ($0.5^{\circ}$의 경사로 수심 100 m 이내에서 나타나는 내대륙붕과 약 $0.2^{\circ}$의 경사로 수심 100-300 m 이내에서 나타나는 외대륙붕으로 구분할 수 있다. 대륙사면에는 다양한 규모(~121 $km^2$)와 경사(최대 $24.3^{\circ}$)를 갖는 8개의 사면붕괴 지형이 관찰된다. 각 사면붕괴 지형은 서로 인접해 있으며, 해저 지진과 전지구적 해수면 변동의 강한 영향 하에서 연속적으로 발생된 해저사태 기원으로 추정된다. 내대륙붕과 대륙사면은 세립질 퇴적물이 우세하지만, 외대륙붕은 조립질 퇴적물이 우세하다. 표층퇴적물 분포양상은 해수면 변동으로 인한 영향을 주로 받은 것으로 해석된다. 외대륙붕은 저해수면 시기 동안 퇴적된 조립질 잔류 퇴적물로, 내대륙붕은 고해수면 시기동안 퇴적된 현생의 세립 퇴적물로 피복되어 있다. 대륙사면의 표층퇴적물은 저해수면 시기에도 깊은 수심에서 반원양성 대류작용으로 공급된 세립퇴적물로 구성된다.

한반도 3개 해역 중 동해 퇴적물의 점토광물에 관한 연구는 고환경 변화 측면에서의 일부 연구 외에는 거의 이루어진 바가 없다. 이번 연구에서는 2017년부터 2019년까지 강릉-동해 해역에서 상자형 시료채취기를 이용하여 채취한 120개 퇴적물 시료에 대한 점토광물 특성과 분포 상태를 바탕으로 기원지를 추정하였다. 점토광물 함량은 일라이트, 녹니석, 카올리나이트, 스멕타이트 순으로 풍부하다. 수심 150 m 이하의 대륙붕 퇴적물은 대륙사면 퇴적물에 비하여 녹니석과 카올리나이트 함량은 많고 일라이트 결정도는 좋은데 반하여 일라이트와 스멕타이트 함량과 S/I 지수는 작다. 대륙붕 퇴적물의 경우 강릉 쪽은 녹니석 함량이 많고, 동해 쪽은 카올리나이트 함량이 많은데 이것은 육상 지질을 반영한 것으로 여겨진다. 이와 같은 점토광물의 여러 특징은 대륙붕 퇴적물과 대륙사면 퇴적물의 기원지가 다른 것을 시사한다. 대륙붕 퇴적물은 주변 하천을 통하여 유입되었고, 대륙사면 퇴적물은 해류에 의하여 남쪽으로부터 이동된 것으로 판단된다.

대륙붕과 대륙사면을 갖는 직사각형 해양의 북쪽 일부분에서 불어오는 바람에 대한 이 해양의 초기 단계에서의 반응이 수치실험을 통하여 관찰되었으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 전반적으로 보아 대륙붕파와 아주 유사한 파동이 발생되었으며 대륙붕을 따라 반시계방향으로 전파되었다. 2. 가장 먼저 대륙사면 밖에 중심을 두는 반시계방향의 vortex가 서쪽해안에 발생하여 해안을 따라 반시계방향으로 전파하며 그 속도는 $200\~300km/day$이다. 3. 바람응력이 끝날 즈음부터 대륙사면에 중심을 두는 일련의 vortex들이 생기나 해안을 따라 전파하며, 이 vortex들은 이 모델해양의 고유 모드중의 하나와 관련되는 것으로 생각된다. 4. 초기 단계에서의 대륙붕파의 발생은 각 모드별로 시차를 갖고 선택적으로 발달되어 전파되는 것으로 보여진다.

A new sedimentary basin is reported from the marine multi-channel seismic data which were acquired for the hydrocarbon exploration on the southwestern Korean continental shelf in 1970. Along the southeastern part of Line 1192, the about 60-km-long basin with the thickness of 0.55~1.1 s is observed on the near-trace gather. However, both new and previous 24-fold stack sections fail to show the basin image probably due to its rugged top beneath the shallow water. The boundary contact between the basement with the velocity of about 5200m/s and the basin filling with the velocities of 4300~4700 m/s is unclear. These velocites are calculated from the corresponding shot gathers. Compared with the Haenam Basin, a neighbouring onshore Cretaceous sedimentary basin, we interpret that the new basin includes the volcanics and volcaniclastic sequences deposited in the lacustrine environment. This nonmarine basin was possibly formed as the result of the tectonic movement during the Cretaceous, implying the wide occurrence of the Cretaceous basins over the southern Korean Peninsula as well as its southwestern continental shelf.

In the last ten years, marine geological and geophysical survey and research were conducted by Japanese, Russian and American scientists in the East Sea of Korea (Japan Sea). Many research results were published. However, regional research of the geology of the continental margin of the Korean Peninsula was not conducted. This study has made on attempt to classify submarine strata and stratigraphic boundaries. The study has revealed characters of submarine geology and structure. Isopach maps of each identified stratigraphic unit have been constructed as the results of this study. The study was conducted on the basis of analyses of marine seismic surveys carried out in the continental margin of the East Sea between Kangneung and Pohang. Three depositional basins were identified in the study area and they were named as, Mukho Basin, Hupo Basin and Pohang Basin. The Mukho Basin is developed in continental slope and shelf in the area between Kangneung and Samcheog. Quaternary and Pliocene sediments attain a maximum thickness of 900 m. Basement rocks are interpreted as granite and gneiss. They are correlated with granite-gneiss of the Taebaecksan Series of Pre-cambrian age and the Daebo granite of Jurassic age. The Hupo Basin is developed in the continental shelf between Uljin and Youngdeok. Quaternary and Pliocene sediments attain a maximum thickness of 600 m. Basement rocks were interpreted as granite and gneiss and they are correlated with metamorphic rocks of Pre-cambrian age and the Daebo granites, comprising the Ryongnam Massif. The Pohang Basin is developed in the area between Pohang and Gangu. This basin contains Miocene and older sediments. Basement rocks are not shown. Many faults are developed within the continental shelf and slope. These faults strike parallel with the coast line. A north-south direction is predominant in the southern study area. However, in the northern study area the faults strike north, and north-west. The faults are parallel to each other and are step faults down-thrown to the east or west, forming horst and graben structures which develop into sedimentary basins. Such faults caused the development of submarine banks along the boundary between the continental shelf and slope. This bank has acted as a barrier for deposition in the Hupo Basin. Paleozoic sedimentary rocks distributed widely in the adjacent land area are absent in the Mukho Basin. This suggests that the area of the basin was situated above the sea level until the Pliocene time. The study area contains Pliocene sediments in general. These sediments overlie the basement complex composed of metamorphic rocks, granites, Cretaceous (Kyongsang System) sedimentary rocks and Miocene sedimentary rocks. These facts lead to a conclusion that the continental shelf and slope of the study area were developed as a result of displacements along faults oriented parallel to the present coast line in the post Miocene time.

The catch per unit effort and the migration of Alaska pollack Theragra chalcogramma were deduced from the catch data of 1, 208 hauls of a stern trawler operated on and around the continental shelf east of the Kamchatka Peninsula and Kurile Islands from October 1974 to December 1975. Alaska pollack occupied more than ninety per cent of the total catch of approximately 17, 760 metric tons, while the cuttle and flat fishes occupied less than five percent. Beside those fishes, approximately 131 metric tons of Alaska pollack roe were produced during the voyage from February to April 1975. The mean catch per unit effort in each sub-area of fishing ground was approximately 15.5 metric tons and the peak of the CPUE occured in January and August. The CPUE in the continental shelf east of Kamchatka Peninsula ($50^{\circ}- 52^{\circ} N$ Lat) showed the maximum of 25-34 metric tons in August. The main fish school is thought to migrate southward speedily in August-September along the continental shelf from the Kamchatka Peninsula to the east of Kurile Islands. The CPUE on the continental shelf east of Kamchatka Peninsula was higher than that on the steeper continental slope. However, the CPUE on the steeper flank of the bank east of Paramushiru Island and Onekotan Island was remarkably higher than that on the relatively flat top of the bank. The small-sized fishes of less than thirty centimeter in fork length began to recruit in the fishing ground since August 1965.
