In this study, a deep-learning image analysis model was established and validated for AI-based monitoring of the tidal flat ecosystem for marine protected creatures Ocypode stimpsoni and their habitat. The data in the study was constructed using an unmanned aerial vehicle, and the U-net model was applied for the deep learning model. The accuracy of deep learning model learning results was about 0.76 and about 0.8 each for the Ocypode stimpsoni and their burrow whose accuracy was higher. Analyzing the distribution of crabs and burrows by putting orthomosaic images of the entire study area to the learned deep learning model, it was confirmed that 1,943 Ocypode stimpsoni and 2,807 burrow were distributed in the study area. Through this study, the possibility of using the deep learning image analysis technology for monitoring the tidal ecosystem was confirmed. And it is expected that it can be used in the tidal ecosystem monitoring field by expanding the monitoring sites and target species in the future.

본 연구는 준설과 모래채취가 시행된 강진만 해역복원사업 이후 강진만의 생태계 변화에 대한 주민들의 인식변화를 알아보기 위하여 주민 모니터링을 실시한 것이다. 과거 주요 바지락 생산지였던 강진만의 갯벌생태계는 해역복원사업(모래채취 및 준설)으로 인하여 생태계가 교란되어 어패류를 생산할 수 없게 되었다. 아직도 부분적으로 고막과 석화 등이 채취되나 점차 그 생산량은 줄어들고 있다. 이로 인해 지역주민들의 삶도 크게 변화되고 있다. 농어촌의 특성상 인구가 급격히 줄어드는 특징은 여느 농어촌과 비슷하지만, 해역의 훼손과 오염으로 인해 어패류가 급감되자 생계에 직접적인 타격을 받은 어민들로 인해 더욱 심각한 인구감소가 나타나고 있다. 지역주민 인식분석 결과 강진만의 오염과 어패류의 급감은 해역복원사업과 장흥댐 건설로 인한 담수 공급 어려움에 의한 것으로 요약된다. 본 연구를 통하여 갯벌에 대한 생태계 조사뿐 아니라 이곳에 의존하는 어촌주민들에 대한 장기적인 사회경제 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Drastic changes in the water quality and phytoplankton community of the new Saemankeum Lakeduring the first decade following the construction of the Saemankeum Sea Wall has been considered to be unavoidable. Input of eutrophicated water through the Mankyeong River and Dongjin River might produce more direct effects on the water quality and phytoplankton community, which lead us to launch a long-term semi-weekly investigation at the "Mankyeong Bridge" monitoring point to resolve its short-term effect as well as long-term stabilization of the ecosystem in the new Saemankeum Lake. During 15 months starting from June 2006, the water temperature varied in accordance with the typical seasonal variations in temperate on the coasts, and no significant daily variations evoked by tidal cycle could be detected. However, there was an inverse relationship between seasonal precipitation and salinity even though the range in annual variation was drastically reduced right after the construction of the Saemankeum Sea Wall. Species richness in the phytoplankton community was also reduced due to the narrowed annual range of salinity, which would eliminate the mid-high salinity species from the Mankyeong Bridge monitoring point. Similarly, species diversity was decreased with increased dominance of the phytoplankton community after the construction. Between the two summer seasons during the present study, species diversity was higher in 2007 than in 2006, which might indicate the early stage of a gradual stabilization in the ecosystem including the phytoplankton community at the monitoring station. The phytoplankton community thus needs to be monitored on a long-term basis to identify indirect signals that can be used to assess the stability of the ecosystem in the young Saemankeum Lake.

This study is carried out to offer the raw data for conservation and management of tidal flat ecosystem by surveying and analysing the flora distributed in Daesong tidal flat wetland, Ahnsan-si, Gyeonggi-do coast, Korea. The results of surveying the flora were recorded as 186 taxa including 45 families, 121 genera, 170 species, 14 varieties and 2 forms. The halophytes checked around this site were 20 taxa including Atriplex gmelinii, Salicornia europaea, Suaeda glauca, Suaeda japonica, Phragmites communis, Carex scabrifolia and so forth. Polygonum bellardii that species had ecological value was the specific plant by floristic region. The growth locations of halophytes were 11 taxa of upper, 4 taxa of high tide line and 5 taxa of lower. The naturalized plants were 42 taxa including Phytolacca americana, Chenopodium glaucum, Melilotus alba, Veronica persica, Bidens pilosa, Leptochloa fusca and so forth. Because Aster subulatusand Leptochloa fusca grew a upper tidal flat wetland, they had the characteristics of halophytes. The focuses on the management of Daesong wetland were halophytes and naturalized plants. Firstly, to maintain a halophytes communities, we will sow the halophytes seeds and plant the individuals. And In-Situ conservation was applied to Polygonum bellardii habitat. Secondly, to prevent the genesis of naturalized plant, we will don't disturb around the wetland environment. The invasive alien plant, Lactuca scariola, was removed by periodic monitoring and purification activity.

The community dynamics of benthic diatoms in the hypersaline environment are investigated to advance our understanding how salinity impacts marine life. Diatoms were sampled in the two salterns encompassing salt Ponds, ditches, and seawater reservoirs (n = 11), along the salinity gradient (max = 324 psu), and nearby tidal flats (n = 2). The floral assemblages and distributions across sites and stations showed great variations, with a total of 169 identified taxa. First, not surprisingly, higher diversity of benthic diatoms was found at natural tidal flats than salterns. The saltern diatoms generally showed salinity dependent distributions with distinct spatial changes in species composition and dominant taxa. Biota-environment and principal component analysis confirmed that salinity, mud content, and total nitrogen were key factors influencing the overall benthic community structure. Some dominant species, e.g., Nitzschia scalpelliformis and Achnanthes sp. 1, showed salinity tolerance / preference. The number of diatom species at salinity of >100 psu reduced over half and no diatoms were found at maximum salinity of 324 psu. The highest salinity for the observed live diatoms was 205 psu, however, a simple regression indicated a theoretical salinity threshold of ~300 psu on the survival. Finally, the indicator species were identified along the salinity gradient in salterns as well as natural tidal flats. Overall, high species numbers, varying taxa, and euryhaline distributions of saltern diatoms collectively reflected a dynamic saltern ecosystem. The present study would provide backgrounds for biodiversity monitoring of ecologically important microalgal producers in some unique hypersaline environment, and elsewhere.

강원도 양양에 위치한 남대천은 하구로 육상 환경과 해양 환경의 점이지대이다. 하구는 다양한 연안환경을 형성해 지구 생태계 중 생태적 가치가 높은 환경으로 남대천에 출연하는 종 중 일부 고유종은 우리나라에서 매우 희소하게 출현되어 보호가 필요하며, 모천 회귀어류인 연어는 우리나라에서 70% 이상이 남대천으로 회귀한다. 남대천과 같은 하구에서는 사주가 보편적으로 나타나며, 시간이 지남에 따라 그 모양이 변하는 것을 관찰할 수 있다. 하구 사주의 변화는 생태 환경의 변화를 야기하므로 지형 변화의 원인 분석과 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 남대천 하구 사주에서 일어나는 지형 변화인 '갯터짐' 현상이 일어나는 조건과 그 위치 변화의 원인에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 남대천 하구 사주의 지형 분석을 위해 미국 지질 조사국(USGS)에서 제공하는 Landsat 위성영상으로 1984년부터 약 40년간의 하구 사주의 면적과 갯터짐의 위치 변화를 관찰하였으며, 이를 평균 해류 벡터, 강수량 그리고 조위와 비교하였다. 그 결과 사주는 시간의 흐름에 따라 그 위치와 형태가 계속 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 계절이나 연대별 특징은 나타나지 않았으며, 연안류의 방향에 영향을 받는 것으로 생각된다. 강수량과 조위를 하구 사주의 면적과 비교한 결과 강수량과 조위가 증가할수록 사주 면적이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

Mangroves are important coastal ecosystems and are located at the inter-tidal zones of tropical and sub-tropical belts. The global mangrove forests are declining dramatically because of the conversion of forests to shrimp farming, over-exploitation, pollution and freshwater diversion. The Bangladesh Forest Department initiated mangrove afforestation throughout the coastal belts of Bangladesh in 1966 to provide better protection for the coastal communities. Up to 1990, 120,000 ha of mangroves had been planted and it is one of the largest coastal afforestaton programs in the world. The objective of this study is to exploit the spatial extent of mangrove plantation and their dynamics of changes over the last two decades using multispectral Landsat imagery. The study area covers the coastal areas of Bangladesh that is extended over the eastern part of Sundarbans up to Teknaf, the southern tip of mainland Bangladesh. Mangrove plantations were interpreted visually on computer screen and interactive delineation of forest boundary was done. The mangrove plantation area has been estimated as 32,725, 47,636 and 43,166 ha for the year of 1989, 2000 and 2010, respectively. Mangrove deforestation by human activity has increased almost six times in the recent decade in comparison to the previous one. The mangrove forest loss due to coastal erosion has slightly declined in the 2000s. Mangroves have been lost primarily because of agricultural expansion. The result of this investigation will be helpful to understand the dynamics of mangrove plantation and the main drivers of changes in this coastal ecosystem.
