The west coast of the Korean Peninsula is famous for its large tidal range (up to 9 m) and vast tidal flats. With comparison the sedimentary environments of open and close tidal flat using remote sensing, we select Kanghwa tidal flat and Hwang-Do tidal flat in Cheonsu Bay. Prior to surface sediment discrimination using remote sensing, sedimentary environments including intertidal OEM, hydraulic condition, and relationship between grain size and various tidal condition are investigated. Remote sensing has the potential to provide synoptic information of intertidal environments. The objectives of this study are: (i) to generate an intertidal digital elevation model (OEM) using the waterline method of Lansat TM/ETM+, (ii) to investigate the tidal channel distribution using texture analysis, and (iii) to analyze the relationship between surface grain size by using in-situ data and intertidal OEM and tidal channel density by using high-resolution satellite data such as IKONOS and Kompsat EOC. The results demonstrate that satellite remote sensing is an efficient and effective tool for a surface sediment discrimination and long term morphologic change estimation in tidal flats.

1910년대 지형도와 1990년대 지형도 및 위성영상을 기본도로 하여 한국의 각 지역별 간석지 분포와 간척 현황을 GIS로서 계량하고 지역별 간석지 발달조건을 고찰했다. 그 결과 우리나라 간석지 자원은 1910년대 이후 간척된 것을 포함하여 약 $3,800km^2$이고 전남 서해안, 경기만, 아산만, 전남남해안, 군산만, 천수만, 경남부산해안 순으로 넓게 형성되어 있으며, 현재 공사중인 것까지 합하면 50% 이상 간척되고 있다. 간석지 발달조건의 측면에서 경기 아산만은 모든 조건이 고루 갖추어져 있고, 군산만은 육상퇴적물 공급체계가, 전남 해안은 해안선 조건이 각각 두드러지게 양호하여 간석지가 발달했다. 군산만을 사례로 간석지 발달의 경년변화를 살펴본 결과 간석지 모양은 계속 변해가고 있으며, 면적이 조금씩 늘고 있다. 그러나 20C 전반부에는 면적증가율이 비교적 높은 데 비하여 후반부에는 훨씬 낮아져 거의 정체상태에 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Tidal flats which are ecologically sensitive, are hard to remediate once they are contaminated by oil spill accidents. Traditional oil remediation measures focus on removal efficiency, and their improper implementation can adversely affect crude oil contaminated coastal areas and greatly disrupt the structure and functions of crude oil contaminated tidal flats. In this study, the oil degradation due to the implementation of remediation measures naturally enhanced using air and natural oil sorbents was evaluated in the lower strata of tidal flats. The effects of air and natural oil sorbents on oil degradation for two concentration levels (< 500 ppm and > 500 ppm) were tested at artificially contaminated tidal flats. Fifty days after these treatments, the natural oil sorbent treatment showed the lowest total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentration ($4.46{\pm}1.47%$) at the low concentration level, whereas both air and natural oil sorbent treatments showed high degradation efficiencies at the high concentration level ($29.30{\pm}4.39%$). Although the phosphatase activity decreased for all treatments, there was no significant difference between the decreases for the different treatments; on the other hand, B-glucosidase activities were high for both air and natural oil sorbent treatments. Although degradation efficiencies decreased as the concentration increased, the air provision and natural oil sorbent treatment could be an effective ecological restoration measure for oil contaminated tidal flats while minimizing the environmental impact of the remediation efforts.

This paper described the results of the characteristics of the near-bottom flow and field analysis of the tidal flats sediment. It was the aim of this paper to grasp current flow of tidal flat's environment and influence factor for environmental change forecast of tidal flats. Field measurement of water velocity, water elevation, bed materials test, and temperature distribution of tidal flat were conducted. Thereafter, current flow, turbidity and temperature distribution of tidal flat sediment have been discussed. The field research results showed that the fluctuating velocity near the seabed before and after its appearance at low tide was strongly affected by the wind wave. The resuspension of the sea-bottom sediment took place with great intensity before and after the appearance of the seabed at low tide. Both the sea water level and the weather condition were a significant influential factors. Such as, temperature and turbidity just on the surface and the shallow layer of seabed sediments were varied largely with time and weather conditions, but that its deeper layers was almost constant. Temperature on the seabed sediments was strongly influenced by irradiance and water depth. The temperature variation of the tidal flat and the variation characteristics of the current flow and turbidity depend greatly on the inhabiting environment of the tidal flat benthic organism.

It is difficult to classify tidal flat surface that is composed of a mixture of mud, sand, water and microphytobenthos. We used a Linear Spectral Unmixing (LSU) method for effectively classifying the tidal flat surface characteristics within a pixel. This study aims at 1) detecting algal mat using LSU in the Saemangeum tidal flats, 2) determining a suitable end-member selection method in tidal flats, and 3) find out a habitual characteristics of algal mat. Two types of end-member were built; one is a reference end-member derived from field spectrometer measurements and the other image end-member. A field spectrometer was used to measure spectral reflectance, and a spectral library was accomplished by shape difference of spectra, r.m.s. difference of spectra, continuum removal and Mann-Whitney U-test. Reference end-members were extracted from the spectral library. Image end-members were obtained by applying Principle Component Analysis (PCA) to an image. The LSU method was effective to detect microphytobenthos, and successfully classified the intertidal zone into algal mat, sediment, and water body components. The reference end-member was slightly more effective than the image end-member for the classification. Fine grained upper tidal flat is generally considered as a rich habitat for algal mat. We also identified unusual microphytobenthos that inhabited coarse grained lower tidal flats.

In this study, sediment cores from unvegetated tidal flats in the Hampyeong Bay (west coastal wetland) and Dongdae Bay (south coastal wetland) were sampled, the blue carbon stock in the sediments was calculated, and the characteristics of the blue carbon stock were analyzed based on particle size of the sediments. The sediments in the Hampyeong Bay tidal flat had large particle size and low mud content, and the Dongdae bay tidal flat had small particle size and high mud content. The organic carbon content and blue carbon stock in the sediments were higher in the Dongdae tidal flat than in the Hampyeong Bay tidal flat. As a result of the regression function, in both the Hampyeong Bay and Dongdae Bay tidal flats, the sediments had the smaller particle size and higher mud contents the higher the organic carbon content and blue carbon stock. The sediments with smaller particle size had the larger specific surface area, so were feasible to adsorb and store more organic matters.

갯벌은 환경에 대한 중요한 지표를 제공하기 때문에 이를 체계적으로 모니터링하는 것이 필요하다. 이를 위해 갯벌에 서식하는 생물들을 주기적으로 관찰하여 환경의 변화를 모니터링하는 사업이 진행되고 있다. 하지만 사람이 직접 관찰하는 방법으로 이루어지고 있어 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서는 갯벌에 서식하는 생물들을 센서 네트워크 기술을 이용하여 자동으로 모니터링하는 시스템에 적용될 수 있는 갯벌 영상 배경 모델링 방법을 제안한다. 센서 네트워크 기술을 적용하면 전송 용량의 한계로 영상을 충분히 확보하는 것이 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 분석에 사용될 영상의 개수가 적은 상황에서 갯벌 영상의 특성을 반영하여 효과적으로 배경을 모델링하고 모델링을 이용하여 전경 맵을 구하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 방법이 간단하면서도 정확하게 갯벌 영상에서 배경을 모델링하는 것을 보여준다.

한반도 서해안과 남해안에 위치한 반폐쇄된 함평만과 광양만에서 조간대 퇴적물의 계절변화를 조사하기 위하여 2${\sim}$4년 동안 입도와 집적률에 대한 모니터링을 실시하였다. 함평만 조간대의 경우, 니질조간대에서는 겨울에 퇴적되고 여름에 침식되는 반면, 혼합조간대에서는 여름에 퇴적되고 겨울에 침식되는 상반된 경향을 보였다. 이와 같은 현상은 함평만 조간대에서는 일차적으로 몬순계절풍에 의한 파랑의 발달과 조간대 지형이 퇴적물의 계절변화에 중요한 요소로 작용하기 때문이다. 그러나 광양만 조간대에서는 가을과 겨울, 봄에 퇴적되고 여름에 침식되어 함평만 조간대와는 다른 양상을 보였다. 이와 같은 현상은 광양만 조간대는 함평만 조간대와는 달리 지형적 특징에 따라 파랑의 발달이 제한되어 상대적으로 창조우세의 조류가 중요한 요소로 작용하기 때문이다. 그러나 여름에는 간헐적으로 발생하는 태풍과 폭우가 조간대의 침식을 가속화하며, 이러한 태풍과 폭우는 파랑의 발달이 제한된 남해안의 반폐쇄된 조간대에서 여름 동안 중요한 침식유발 요인으로 작용할 것으로 생각된다.

Efffcts of physico-chemical factors on the zonation and vertical distribution of benthic microalgal communities in the tidal flats of Youngkwang and Canaiin, Korea, were studied. Concentrations of nutrients were low throughout the study period. A 38 species of benthic microaigae was identified. Most of the algae were pennate diatoms with small size. Cell numbers at silty sediments were higher than sandy sediments, and showed high patchy distribution. Zonal distributions of benthic microalgae showed higher variation from silty sediment than sandy sediments. Benthic microalgae showed vertical migration within the upper few mm of sediment with periodicity closely related to tidal cycles. Maximum cells were observed from 0 mm depth both sandy and silty sediments. Cells of benthic microalgae in the 1 - 2 mm depth decreased after desiccation of sediments. The variation of cells was higher at sandy sediments than silty sediments. Cell numbers of benthic microalgae showed no positive relationships with pH and nutrinets except NH$_4$-N.

The habitat degradation caused by large-scale reclamation leads to devastating impacts, such as fine sediment and mud shrimp Upogebia major settlement on Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum aquaculture in the eastern Cheonsu Bay tidal flats, Republic of Korea. Despite these impacts, there is a lack of studies on the influence of fine sediments on tidal flats that constitute key mud shrimp habitats. This study provides information on the seawater-sediment environment and the influence of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) fluctuations depending on mud shrimp burrow hole density. Additionally, it discusses countermeasures for Manila clam habitat management. The results show that mean DIN effluxes in areas with a high-density of burrow holes were up to 4 times (0.12 mmol m^-2 d^-1) higher than those in sites of low-density (0.03 mmol m^-2 d^-1) within the Saho and Songhak-ri tidal flats. To manage interference within the competition zone of Songhak-ri tidal flat, it is important to utilize the settlements of spawning season in all three dimensions. Consequently, additional studies in other tidal flats are essential and research in zones where mud shrimps and juvenile clams coexist will help to determine the priorities in the efficient management of clam aquaculture.
