For the sustainable use of fishery resources as common resources and the mitigation of conflicts with commercial fishermen, it is essential to understand recreational anglers’ participation process of environmentally responsible behaviors (ERB). This study intends to show that the effects of recreation specialization on environmentally responsible behaviors can be weakened due to the characteristics of anglers, who prefer to possess caught fish. Two different research models were tested with two data sets independently collected. The data were analyzed with structural equation modeling. The results show that consumptive orientation, which measures a degree of catching and owning fish, and fishing-specific ERBs negatively affect the relationships between recreation specialization and general ERBs as mediation variables. Implications are further discussed that regulation policies and education programs are needed to change anglers’ consumptive orientation and catch-related fishing behaviors.

In this study, we aimed to determine the seasonal distribution and biomass of fish in Samcheok marine ranching area (MRA) of Republic of Korea using the scientific echosounder. Fish trap and gillnets were used to identify fish species in the survey area, and dB-difference method was used to estimation the spatio-temporal distribution and density of fish. The results showed that the dominant species in Samcheok marine ranching area were Chelidonichthys spinosus, Sebastes inermis, Hexagrammos otakii and Tribolodon hakonensis. The spatio-temporal distribution of fish showed that fish had a relatively higher distribution at night than during the day. In addition, the density of fish by season was highest at night in July at 34.22 g/m 2 and lowest in April at 0.42 g/m 2 .

This study was investigated in order to find composition and density of fisheries resource using bottom trawl in April, July, August, and November 2022 in the East China Sea. The average density of fisheries resource was estimated using the swept area method. As a result, 35 species were collected from the East China Sea. These included 21 fishes, six crustaceans, six cephalopods and two echinoderms. Seasonally, the average density of crustacean individuals per unit area were highest in November (692.1 inds./km 2 ), while cephalopod individuals per unit area were highest in August (39.4 inds./km 2 ). The average density of fish individuals per unit area were highest in August at 355.0 (inds./km 2 ).

2023년 3월, EU는 안전하고 다양하며 저렴하고 지속 가능한 주요 원 자재 공급에 접근하는 포괄적인 조치인 핵심 원자재법(CRMA:Critical Raw Materials Act)을 채택하였다. CRMA의 핵심은 총 4가지로 구분 할 수 있다. EU전체 연간 소비량 대비 최소 10%이상을 역내에서 채굴 하고 핵심원자재 역내 가공량을 최대 40%이상으로 하며 핵심원자재 역 내 재활용 비율을 최소 15%까지 끌어올리기로 목표한 것이다. 또한 모 든 가공 단계에서 특정 국가에 대한 수입량을 EU연간 소비량의 65%를 제한 하였다. CRMA의 출현에 따라 중동부유럽 내에서 선전하고 있는 우리 자동차 기업과 배터리 생산기업에도 변화가 있을 것이며 핵심원자 재 법에 따른 대응방안을 강구해야 할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 는 중동부유럽 2차전지 기업 현황을 살펴보고 EU 핵심원자재법 출현에 따른 대응방안을 제시해 보고자 한다.

효율적인 산림관리와 경영이 이루어지기 위해서는 일정한 공간단위를 가지는 산림의 구획(Zoning)이 정의되어야 한다. 현재 국유림은 임･소반 기준으로, 공･사유림은 필지 단위를 기준으로 공간을 구획하여 활용하고 있다. 이러한 이원적인 공간구획체 계는 통일된 산림계획, 경영, 관리가 어려우며 장기적인 공간단위의 정보 구축과 생성, 관리에도 어려움을 끼칠 수 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 DEM(Digital Elevation Model) 기반으로 추출한 산줄기 유역을 소개하고 활용성 검토를 위해 현재 산림관리 단위인 임･소반도, 경영계획구, 산지/산림 관련 주제도와 중첩 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 표준산림관리단위의 대안으로 제안한 각 규모별 산림유역 단위의 공간적 적합성을 검토하고 산림관리, 산림 디지털 공간자료 구축 및 관리 등의 분야에서 산줄기 내포 유역 기반 표준산림관리단위의 활용 방안을 제안하였다.

이 연구는 한국과 호주 간 양자 협력 의제 중 자원 안보와 밀접한 관 련이 있는 탄소중립 기술 개발, 핵심 광물 공급망 그리고 농업 협력을 중심으로 살펴본다. 탄소중립 기술과 핵심 광물 공급망 같은 경우 2021 년 양국의 포괄적 동반자 관계 수립 이후 급격하게 협력이 시작되었고 정부와 주요 기업들이 적극적으로 참여하였다. 이에 반해 농업 협력은 2014년 양국의 자유 무역 협정 이후 협력위원회가 단 한 차례밖에 열리 지 않았다. 농업 협력은 향후 식량안보와 밀접한 관련이 있기에 협력이 순조롭게 진행될 수 있도록 노력을 기울일 필요가 있다. 향후 자원확보 와 공급망 구축이 그 무엇보다 중요한 시기에 양국의 상황을 면밀하게 관찰하고 부족한 부분의 협력을 적극적으로 모색하는 노력이 매우 중요 하다.

The World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) maintains the world’s largest public vegetable germplasm collection. The Genebank contains over 65,000 accessions and consists of more than 130 genera and 330 species. It includes around 12,000 accessions of indigenous vegetables. The WorldVeg Korea Office (WKO) has been conducting regional adaptability evaluations in the fields of the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS), with a focus on major solanaceous vegetable crops such as tomato, chili, and bell pepper. As climate change significantly affects vegetable crop productivity, the development of high-performing cultivars, tolerant to various abiotic and biotic stresses with enriched nutrients inside, is essential to enhance agricultural sustainability and human health. In this regard, the evaluation of growth and horticultural characteristics of pepper and tomato accessions from the WorldVeg will help contribute to the generation of new and improved cultivars, to address global challenges that affect food security, sustainability, and adaptation to climate change. Here, we summarize our activities and the results of the regional adaptability evaluation using the WorldVeg accessions of pepper and tomato germplasms.

This study aims to establish a development strategy for higher education in Indonesia’s marine and fisheries sector and to present a direction for international development cooperation through evaluating policies and current problems related to higher education in marine and fisheries sector. To achieve the goals of human resources development in marine and fisheries sector, Indonesian government needs to secure non-salary expenditures to strengthen support for areas directly related to the effects of education, such as improving educational facilities, expanding scholarships, and so on. Education institution needs to develop effective teaching methods and systematic practice-based curriculum that reflects the needs of the local fishermen community and fisheries industry. In addition, it is necessary to support the supply of manpower throughout the fisheries industry. Fisheries industry needs to stop relying on the government or education institutions to secure excellent human resources and actively participate and cooperate in the education field so that excellent human resources can flow into the industry. Based on this strategy, international development cooperation for human resources development in Indonesia’s marine and fisheries sector should focus on qualitative rather than quantitative expansion of higher education institutions.

With a rapid expansion in electric vehicles, a huge amount of the spent Li-ion batteries (LIBs) could be discharged in near future. And thus, the proper handling of the spent LIBs is essential to sustainable development in the industry of electrical vehicles. Among various approaches such as pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, and direct recycling, the hydrometallurgical manner has gained interest in recycling the spent LIBs due to its high effectiveness in recycling raw materials (e.g., lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese). However, the hydrometallurgical process not only requires the use of large amounts of acids and water resources but also produces toxic gases and wastewater leading to environmental and economic problems, considering potential economic and environmental problems. Thus, this review aims to provide an overview of conventional and state-of-the-art hydrometallurgical processes to recover valuable metals from spent LIBs. First, we briefly introduce the basic principle and materials of LIBs. Then, we briefly introduce the operations and pros-and cons- of hydrometallurgical processes. Finally, this review proposes future research directions in hydrometallurgy, and its potential opportunities in the fundamental and practical challenges regarding its deployment going forward.
