  • To understand the effects of marine environmental and meteorological parameters on laver Porphyra yezoensis production at Nakdong River Estuary, we analyzed marine environmental (water temperature, salinity, nutrients, etc.) and meteorological properties (air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, sunshine hours) with yearly and monthly variations in laver production over 10 years (2003-2013). Air and water temperature, wind speed, sunshine hours and precipitation were major factors affecting yearly variability in laver production at the Nakdong River Estuary. Lower air and water temperatures together with higher levels of nutrients and sunshine and stronger wind speeds resulted in higher laver harvests. Salinity and nitrogen did not show clear correlations with laver production, mainly due to the plentiful supply of nitrogen from river discharge and the low frequency of environmental measurements, which resulted in low statistical confidence. However, environmental factors affecting monthly laver production were related to the life cycle (culturing stage) of Porphyra yezoensis and were somewhat different from factors affecting annual laver production. In November, a young laver needs lower water temperatures for rapid growth, while a mature laver needs much stronger winds and more sunshine, as well as lower temperatures for massive production and effective photosynthesis, mostly in December and January. However, in spring (March), more stable environments with fewer fluctuations in air temperature are needed to sustain the production of newly deployed culture-nets ($2^{nd}$ time culture). These results indicate that rapid changes in weather and marine environments caused by global climate change will negatively affect laver production and, thus, to sustain the yield of and predict future variability in laver production at the Nakdong River estuary, environmental variation around laver culturing farms needs to be monitored with high resolution in space and time.

  • In river with bar, the characteristics of its physical conditions have a close relationship with bar morphology. In this paper, a monitoring approach of bar transformation in the Han River Estuary is presented using RADARSAT/SAR Images. The estuary is divided into North and South Korea and its area is blocked by CCL(Civil Control Line). Satellite remote sensing, therefore, is uniquely suited to monitoring bar transformation. Based on SAR signatures for bars, bar transformation is investigated from 2000 to 2005, and monitoring of suspended-silt transportations from terrestrial runoff is tried to understand the morphology during the events of severe rain storm. SAR data did not reveal clearly the bar locations because of most of data acquisitions during high tides from 6.8 m to 9.0 m. Even though the problem, it could be said that in the estuary vegetated area and natural levees are developed well, but bars and shifted after an event like a flood. It is also showed that suspended solids such as silt transported through the estuary could contribute highly to a sedimentation environment around Incheon.

  • Background: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between soil environmental factors and halophyte distribution in the west coast of South Korea. Soils of our study sites were categorized into two groups: salt marsh and estuary marsh. Results: Salinity was higher in the salt marsh group than that in the estuary marsh group. However, total nitrogen, silt, and clay contents were higher in the estuary marsh group than those in the salt marsh group. Although altitude had a wider range in the salt marsh group, the mean altitude was higher in the estuary marsh group than that in the salt marsh group. Annual halophytes of seed propagation species were distributed parallel to the coast line on salt marsh. Higher coverage of vegetation was found in the area closer to the coast line. Plant density was higher near dead parental plants in estuary marsh, showing less difference in area that was more distant from the coast line. Conclusions: Results of canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) for vegetation distribution and sediment environmental factors and germination analysis in the coast line showed significant relationship with halophyte distribution. Therefore, they can be used as an indicator of coastal plant movement due to sea level rise.

  • 한강 하구의 염분 및 생태 환경에 관한 연구를 위하여 기존에 발표된 논문과 국립수산과학원의 국가해양환경측정망 자료를 이용하여 한강 하구의 염분 분포 특성을 구명하였으며, 염분과 연관하여 동식물플랑크톤, 저서생물 및 어류플랑크톤의 분포를 논의하였다. 염분의 시공간적 분포를 고려할 때 인천북항 주변 해역은 계절에 무관하게 연중 한강 유입수의 직접적인 영향을 받고 있으며, 담수 유입량이 많은 하계에는 팔미도 해역까지 담수 영향권이 확대되었다. 반면 해수의 직접적인 영향을 받는 상한선은 한강 본류인 경기도 김포시 고촌면 신곡리의 신곡수중보에 이르며, 해침이 상시적으로 발생하는 수역은 이보다 더 하류인 경기도 김포시 하성면 전류리로 판단된다. 동식물플랑크톤의 분포는 담수 및 해수 지역에서 혼재되어 분포하며, 일반적으로 염분의 분포 범위보다 훨씬 광범위한 분포를 보였다. 그러나 기수성 어류플랑크톤은 매우 제한된 수역에 분포하는 반면, 성어는 그 분포범위가 담수에서 해수에 이르는 광범위한 분포를 보였다. 경험적 분석에 의한 한강하구 환경의 문제점은 1)한강 하구 및 유수지역의 개발 압력에 따른 환경 파괴, 2)갯벌 매립에 의한 조간대 상실, 3)군사용 철책에 의한 육수전이환경(陸水轉移環境)의 생태적 단절이 매우 심각하였다.

  • 본 연구에서는 하구 염습지 생태계 복원 및 조성을 위한 기초적 연구로서, 낙동강 하구 사주섬인 진우도에 서식하는 갈대의 서식환경 특성을 파악하기 위하여 저질의 함수량, 입도분포, pH, 영양염 농도($NH_4-N$, $PO_4-P$), 지하수위, 지반고, 갈대 개체수 및 최대 높이 등의 조사를 실시하였다. 조사결과 연구대상 지역의 저질 입경 및 함수량이 갈대 서식환경에 미치는 영향은 적은 것으로 나타났으며, pH는 식생대와 비식생대 정점의 차이가 없었고, $NH_4-N$$PO_4-P$ 농도도 정점별 차이가 없었다. 식생대 영역에서 해안선 쪽으로 갈수록 지반고가 낮으며 개체수는 감소하였고, 지하수위는 높게 나타났다. 따라서 낙동강 하구 염습지의 갈대서식 환경에 영향을 미치는 주요인자는 지반고와 지하수위가 크게 기여하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • The Han River is divided into North and South Korea by NLL(Northern Limit Line) and its area has been blocked by CCL(Civil Control Line) since the Korean War in 1950.

  • This paper describes that air noise and underwater noise in the Somjin Estuary are measured and analysed to get the basic data to find out the influence of environment on the underwater. The results obtained are summerized as follows: 1. The spectrum level of air noise in the Somjin Estuary increases until 500Hz, and decreases a little over 2KHz. 2. The spectrum level of underwater noise in the Somjin Estuary increases from 50 Hz to 1 KHz, but it decreases over 1 KHz as the depth is deeper. 3. When the influence of other factors is scarce but the influence of flowing speed is significant, the noise level seems to be higher at speedy layer than at slower layer. 4. The underwater sound level seems to be wider at speedy layer than at slower layer.

  • This study was conducted to provide the basic information on environment effects on appearance of ichthyoplankton in the Yeongsan River Estuary in Spring and Summer from 2018 to 2020. Data were obtain from the database of 'Coastal Ecosystem' in "National Survey of Marine Ecosystem." Among the abundance ichthyoplankton species, the Gobiidae spp. dominated, accounting for 85% of the total abundances with the secondary dominant species being the Parablennius yatabei, representing 3% of the abundances. Cluster analysis results revealed a composition differentiated between spring and summer. The Yeongsan River Estuary is known to be significantly influenced by the opening and closing of estuarine gates. In this study, the fluctuation in the number of occurrence groups and abundance among the years and season is attributed to the phenomenon of high water temperature period and the freshwater discharge.
