국립수산과학원에서 수행한 국가해양환경측정망 운영 결과 중 생지화학적 자료를 이용하여 (1997∼2002, 6년간) 한국 남해 연안의 영양상태를 평가하였다. 비행열 다차원 척도법 분석결과로 남해연안은 3개의 영양 상태로 구분되었다. 빈산소 수괴가 형성되며 용존성 무기질소와 인농도가 매우 높은 마산만은 과영양 상태였으며, 강한 점원 오염원이 있는 울산만, 온산만, 부산 연안, 진해만은 부영양 상태로 추정되었다. 그리고 그 외 여수, 통영 , 목포 주변 연안과 제주도 연안은 중영양 상태로 나타났다. 실측 용존무기질소와 Redfield 비로 보정된 이론적 용존무기질소의 차이인 과잉 질소의 6년간 평균은 오염된 하천이 유입되는 울산, 온산, 부산 연안에서 큰 양의 값을 보였고 행암, 광양, 여수 연안이 음의 값을 나타내어 기초생산자의 성장 제한 물질이 서로 다르게 작용할 수 있음을 시사하고 있다. 또한 과잉 용존무기질소는 시계열 분석 결과 과-부영양화된 해역에서 점차 감소하였으나 중영양 해역은 점차 증가하고 있어 해역의 영양상태에 따라 질소 대 인의 비가 변화하고 있었다. 과-부영양화의 진행에 따른 저층 퇴적물의 유기물 오염은 질소와 인의 생지화학적 순환을 교란시킬 것으로 예상되며, 향후 더욱 정확한 연안 환경영향을 파악하기 위해서는 저층 경계면의 연구가 반드시 포함되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

To understand the phytoplankton community in the eastern part of the Yellow Sea (EYS), in the summer, field survey was conducted at 25 stations in June 2009, and water samples were analyzed using a epifluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry and HPLC method. The EYS could be divided into four areas by a cluster analysis, using phytoplankton group abundances: coastal mixing area, Anma-do area, transition water, and the central Yellow Sea. In the coastal mixing area, water column was well mixed vertically, and phytoplankton was dominated by diatoms, chrysophytes, dinoflagellates and nanoflagellates, showing high abundance ($>10^5\;cells\;l^{-1}$). In Anma-do coastal waters characterized by high dominance of dinoflagellates, high phytoplankton abundance and biomass separated from other coastal mixing area. The southeastern upwelling area was expanded from Jin-do to Heuksan-do, by a tidal mixing and coastal upwelling in the southern area of Manjae-do, and phytoplankton was dominated by benthic diatoms, nanoflagellates and Synechococcus group in this area. Phytoplankton abundance and biomass dominated by pico- and nanophytoplankton were low values in the transition waters and the central Yellow Sea. In the surface of the central Yellow Sea, high dominance of photosynthetic pigments, 19'-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin and zeaxanthin implies that haptophytes and cyanobacteria could be the dominant group during the summer. These results indicate that the phytoplankton communities in the EYS were significantly affected by the formation of tidal front, thermal stratification, and coastal upwelling showing the differences of physical and chemical characteristics during the summer.

Tidal power can use conventional technology to extract energy from the tides. It is usually best deployed in areas where there i s a high tical range which includes Western and Southern coastal areas in Korea. However, to extract tical energy, a barrage across an estuary or a bay is to be constructed that is now very hard due to severe environmental impact on local estuary. The recent technology of application of tidal stream provides a new window to extract power minimizing the adverse environmental impact Tidal stream technology which directly exploits these currents is relatively new but is presently generating considerable interest Turbine rotors can be used to extract energy from the flows. Prototype devices currently on test in the UK include the 300kW SeaFlow turbine. In this paper, the recent technology and research on ocean tical stream power are addressed

Social costs are increasing in Gangwon-do east coast due to coastal erosion. Long-term coastline change information is essential for analyzing this phenomenon. In this study, aerial photographs immediately after liberation are used for 1950's coastline extraction. The study area is from Sokcho Cheongho beach to Yangyang Seorak beach. The aerial photograph is geometrically corrected using DLT(Direct Linear Transformation) method to extract past coastline and compare it with present data. Coastal erosion and deposition areas are calculated in study area. Artificial structures such as harbors and breakwaters have caused changes in ocean currents and sediments from river estuaries. In most cases, the deposition occurred at the southern area of artificial structures and the erosion occurred on surrounding beaches. Coastline information extracted from past aerial photographs can be useful to provide information on long-term changes.

제주해협내에 설정한 3개의 남북 단면상에 배열한 13개의 관측정점과 기타 4개의 제주항 부근의 연안정점에서 $1986\~1989$년까지 실시한 해류계에 의한 해류조사결과와 $1981\~1987$년 사이에 실시된 해류판 추적조사, 일반해양관측 등에 의하여 얻어진 자료들을 종합적으로 분석하여 정리한 제주해협의 유황을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 제주해협내에는 주로 동$\~$북동류의 항류가 있어, 해협 서쪽 입구의 전단면을 통하여 해협내로 유입된 해수가 동쪽 입구의 전단면을 통하여 유출되고 있으며, 이 항류의 유속은 10m층에서 $5.2cm/sec\~30cm/sec$이고, 중${\cdot}$저층은 $1.3\~24cm/sec$로 대체로 해협의 심소 및 제주도 북측에 강류대가 있고, 추자도 및 보길도 부근의 연안 천소에 악한 항류가 있다. 2. 제주해협 서쪽 입구의 전단면에서 실측한 항류의 하계 평균유속은 6.93cm/sec로, 이것을 기초로 계산한 이 단면의 해수수송량은 $0.384\times10^6\;m^3/sec(Sv)$이며, 단면의 항류분포와 지형류 유속 분포간에는 많은 차를 보였다. 3. 추자도 북서쪽의 전선역에서는 밀물 때는 북향류에 의해 고온${\cdot}$고염분의 외해수가 5mile정도 연안역으로 이동 하지만, 썰물 때는 북상 거리만큼 다시 남하하지 않고 동$\~$남동향류 때문에, 연안수와 혼합하면서 전선북쪽의 연안역으로 이동하므로, 결과적으로 추자도 북서해역은 제주도 서방해역으로 부터 북상해온 외해수가 한국남해연안수내로 유입하는 창구가 되며, 이것을 일으키는 주된 작용은 항류가 아닌 조류이다.

Background: Understanding the geographical distribution of a species is a key component of studying its ecology, evolution, and conservation. Although Schlegel's Japanese gecko (Gekko japonicus) is widely distributed in Northeast Asia, its distribution has not been studied in detail. We predicted the present and future distribution of G. japonicus across China, Japan, and Korea based on 19 climatic and 5 environmental variables using the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) species distribution model. Results: Present time major suitable habitats for G. japonicus, having greater than 0.55 probability of presence (threshold based on the average predicted probability of the presence records), are located at coastal and inland cities of China; western, southern, and northern coasts of Kyushu and Honshu in Japan; and southern coastal cities of Korea. Japan contained 69.3% of the suitable habitats, followed by China (27.1%) and Korea (4.2%). Temperature seasonality (66.5% of permutation importance) was the most important predictor of the distribution. Future distributions according to two climate change scenarios predicted that by 2070, and overall suitable habitats would decrease compared to the present habitats by 18.4% (scenario RCP 4.5) and 10.4% (scenario RCP 8.5). In contrast to these overall trends, range expansions are expected in inland areas of China and southern parts of Korea. Conclusions: Suitable habitats predicted for G. japonicus are currently located in coastal cities of Japan, China, and Korea, as well as in isolated patches of inland China. Due to climate change, suitable habitats are expected to shrink along coastlines, particularly at the coastal-edge of climate change zones. Overall, our results provide essential distribution range information for future ecological studies of G. japonicus across its distribution range.

In the late 1970s, the National Fisheries Research & Development Institute (NFRDI) started cetacean research to submit the Korean whale catch record to the International Whaling Commission. This continued until the moratorium on commercial whaling in 1986. The NFRDI resumed cetacean research with a pilot whale sighting survey in 1999. Subsequently, the NFRDI has conducted 53 cetacean sighting surveys within the Korean exclusive economic zone between 2000 and 2010. The surveys took a total of 760 days and cruising for 23,866 nautical miles. The finless porpoise Neophocaena asiaeorientalis was sighted most frequently (735 times), followed by the minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata (396 times), the long-beaked common dolphin Delphinus capensis (102 times), and the Pacific white-sided dolphin Lagenorhynchus obliquidens (27 times). Minke whales were distributed in the Yellow Sea and coastal area of the East Sea from spring to fall. Pacific white-sided dolphin sightings were restricted to the middle and upper coastal areas of the East Sea in summer. Common dolphins were sighted from east of the southern coast to the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula from spring to fall. Finless porpoise occurred in all Korean coastal areas, except the middle and upper eastern coast.

The characteristics of time changes in air temperature, DI (discomfort index) and WBGT (wet-bulb globe temperature) were investigated for inland city (daegu) and coastal city (pohang) of Gyeongbuk Province during the 2018 consecutive heat wave season. The time when the temperature dropped below 33℃ was around 19h in both regions. As such, the two regions were similar with respect to the time up to which the heatwave warning levels continued. However, the discomfort index (DI) was higher than 27 in Pohang. Most people feel unpleasant when an discomfort index of 27 or higher appears. The results indicated that Korea's night-time thermal environment during the summers is particularly poor in the southern coastal areas. WBGT began at 09:00 and lasted until 21:00, with a score of 31 or higher; this score, in principle, corresponded with the duration of outdoor activity in both regions. Therefore, it was found that outdoor work was at a level where all day long had to be stopped in both areas during the heat wave. Although time changes in temperature and WBGT were similar in both regions, Discomfort Index (DI) differed significantly. The difference refers to the fact that Pohang is strongly affected by the high heat capacity effect and the supply of water vapor from the sea.

A field survey for dinoflagellate cysts was carried out from May 2000 to November 2002 for the Southwest Sea of Korea. A total dinoflagellate cysts identified were 33 species, which belonged to 17 genera, 31 species, and 2 unidentified species. A cysts density were 16-1,501 cysts-gdry$^{-1}$. The dominant species of dinoflagellate cysts in the Southwestern Sea of Korea were Spiniferites bulloideus and Scrippsiella trochoidea, which are autotrophic species. To investigate the environmental characteristics of the Southwestern Sea of Korea using the dinoflagellate cysts, a principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted using the data collected from a total of 51 stations. From the score distribution map by the PCA, the Southwestern Sea of Korea was largely divided into three regions according to the first primary component and the second primary component. In other words, Group 1 was the western sea area of Mokpo and Jindo, Group 2 was the outer sea area of the South Sea, and Group 3 was the coastal areas of the South Sea around the Archipelago. It was found that this division of sea area was influenced by effects of the sea environment of the coastal areas of Korea. The coastal areas of Mokpo and Jindo that belong to Group 1 were affected by the cold Yellow Sea water. The outer sea area of the central parts of the South Sea that belong to Group 2, which is the boundary between the Southern coastal water of Korea and the Tsushima warm water, was subject to the formation of temperature fronts throughout the year, while Group 3 was affected by the coastal waters of Korea. It was also found that this division was in close relationship with the distribution of sediment facies in the bottom layer. From the above results, the environmental factors that influence the cyst distribution in he Southwestern Sea of Korea were found to include the eutrophication status of the sea area, the physical characteristics of the sea environment such as the flow of sea current and fronts, the sediment facies in the bottom layer, and the appearance volume of motile cells.
