In Korea, a small proportion of fishery products are contaminated with a considerable amount of potentially hazardous contaminants. So, there is generally a high risks to consumers. Inorganic contaminants with the greatest potential for toxicity are Sb, As, Cd, Pb, Hg, Se and the Sulfides. As appears to be much more variable than the others. This study was performed to assess the levels of the As in fisheries caught from the waters of the western coast of Korea. The samples included 26 kinds of fishes, 18 kinds of Mollusca, 3 kinds of Crustacea and 7 kinds of salted fishes. The Moisture content of molluscans was significantly higher than that of others (p$lt;0.05). And the As contents of crustaceans were significantly higher than those of fishes, molluscans and salted fishes (p$lt;0.05). The As content of Turban shell was 51.62 ppm, which was the highest among the samples. Also, the As contents of eel, cattle fish and blue crab were found to be higher than in other fisheries. This variability offers a solution for the reduction of eosure to As through restricting the harvest of aquatic organism from the western coast of Korea.

Floating debris was recorded from a training ship, #1 Kwarnksan, of Pukyong National University with about 10 knots speed during March, May and July of 1997. The area sampled is the Southeastern Coast of Korea, divided into 40 unit segments on survey routes. Debris fabrication materials were categorized using the following ; man-made or natural wood items, paper, cardboard, nylon rope, netting, styrofoam and plastics, floating metal and glass containers. All identified items within a 〈TEX〉100 ± 2 m〈TEX〉 wide band were recorded but ignored if beyond this boundary.The results of distribution and composition of floating debris in the area as follows:1. The quantities of debris during the duration of survey were distributed from 2~605 items per km2. The most obvious trend is the widespread distribution of all debris. 2. The highest densities of all debris were discovered in the coastal waters of Seoimal lighthouse, the southeastern part of Koje island, next near Nakdong estuaries. Especially styrofoam & plastics were observed in 77.4~87.2% of sampled area, next is wood items, 9.1~ 13.5%. And nylon netting & rope, 3.6%, was the third item of pollutant. Others are very small. 3. Compared with the East Coat of Korea, the quantities of all debus in theSoutheastern Sea are 6 times as large as the East Coast. The survey provides a basis for more detailed survey work in the South Sea. Further surveys are being investigated, and from this it is hoped that a much wider coverage can be achieved, perhaps on all sites of the Coast of Korea and contributed to the removal method, finding of sources, stationary area of debris.

Since the digital chart consists of a large number of points, the effective method for the coastline data compression(CDC), storing the data compactly and reproducting the coastline feature accurately, is important. In the CDC, the key technique is to determine the optimal positions as node points in given coastlines. In this paper, a new CDC method, selecting node points with conspicuous coast positions in the view point on navigation and adopting spline interpolation to the nodes partly, is proposed. Using the northern part of KEOJE-DO coastline in Korean chart No.204, CDC experiments are carrie out with various compression ratio. The results fro the influence of coastline shape according to various CDC methods are discussed and presented.

먼저 이 곳 한국해양대학교에서 캐나다 코스트가드를 소개할 수 있게 되어서 대단히 영광스럽게 생각하며, 지금부터 발표를 시작하겠습니다. 기존의 캐나다 코스트가드(the Canadian Cost Guard :C.C.G)는 운수성에서 수산·해양부로 이관·통합되면서 해양관리의 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 본인은 이 시간에 통합 이 후의 C.C.G가 어떠한 조직으로 구성되어 있으며, 해양관리를 위해서 어떠한 기능을 수행하고 있는지에 대한 내용을 소개하고자 한다.

We measured lagrangian currents in the coastal regions off east coast of Korea. The experiment sites are the Ulijin region where Polar Front of the East Sea is formed and the Ulgi region where coastal upwelling occurs frequently in summer. Each drifters are equipped with GPS receiver, and their trajectories are montiored by receiving the data transmitted from drifters through radio signal. The experiment with 'transmitting' GPS is very useful in monitering flows in coastal regions. Trajectories of drifters in the Uljin Polar Front region in October 1994 showed counterclockwise flow pattern. The flow pattern agrees with the SST distributions obtained from NOAA-11 AVHRR image for the same period. The lagrangian trajectories of drifters at 5m and 15m depths in the Ulgi region for normal period of April 1995 showed that the currents at the top 15m layer are almost uniform and their magnitude is 29cm/s. However, the currents, measured by KORDI, during the upwelling period of June 1994 showed that the currents at 5m depth were 1.2 times stronger than those at 15m depth. The current pattern in the Ulgi upwelling region agrees with the horizontal and vertical distributions of seawater temperature measured by NFRDA at the same period.

This paper is described on the positioning accuracy of GPS which has observed from November. 1991 to September, 1992 in Korean southeast coast. The main results give as follows. 1) A daily variance of positioning error is irregularly, and the average error of the latitude and the longitude are 15.1m, 22.7m respectively. 2) The usable satellites in Korean southeast coast from Panggojin to Chisepo are SV satellite number 2, 3, 11～21, 23～26 and sv 28, of all these sv 3, 16, 17, 23, 24 and 26 can be observed in all the area. 3) A circle of the average radius enclose 95% of the measurement points are 72.9m and the average shift distances from standard position are 34.6m. 4) The variation of PDOP(HDOP) at each measurement points are coincide with the one of distance error.

The stratigraphy and evolution of the intertidal deposit of Gunhung Bay, west coast of Korea, have been studied by analyzing surface sediments, core sediments and subbottom profiles. The surficial sedimentary facies consists of upper mudflat, mixedflat and lower mudflat from high tide level to low tide level. The tidal deposit above the acoustic basement is 5 - 20m thick and can be divided into two sedimentary sequences by a mid-reflector. The boundary of them is identified by long core data. The lower sedimentary unit (sequence B) consists of semi-consolidated, brown sandy muds and is interpreted to be deposisted during Riss-Wurm interglacial period. The upper sedimentary unit(sequence A), which overlies the sequence B unconformably, is about 10m thick and consists of Holocene intertidal sediments. The sequence A consists of mudflat facies at lower part and mixedflat facies at upper part. It indicates that the sequence A is a transgressive sequence. Many V-shaped erosional patterns at the unconformable contact of sequence A and sequence B indicate the existence of old tidal channels formed during the low sea level of the last glacial period. The long-term accumulation rate of sequence A is considered to be 2㎜/yr from core data and it is coincident with the accumulation rate determined by Pb-210 for the PVC core.

태풍해일의 변동양상과 특성을 파악하기 위하여, 한국 남해안의 7개 검조소의 조석관측자료와 기상자료를 사용하여 태풍 Thelma 통과기간 중 각 항에서의 추산조위와 해일을 추정하여, 시간영역별 기상 및 해면변동에 관한 EOF분석을 하고 태풍해일, 기압, 바람응력의 spectrum분석을 실시하였다. 반폐쇄성 만(여수)인 경우 바람응력이 기압보다 해일발생에 큰 영향을 미치며, 개방된 항만(제주)은 기압이 해일에 큰 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 해일의 값은 13.1~91.7cm 범위로서 여수에서 최고치를 보였다. 태풍 Thelma 통과시 EOF 제 1 모드는 전체 해일변동의 63%를 차지하였고, 제 1 모드에 수반된 해일의 시간변동은 18 시간 동안 쌍봉의 peak를 가진 변동을 보였다. 제 1 모드에 대한 남해안 7개 지점에서의 해일의 공간적 변동은 여수를 중심으로 동시에 해면이 상승하였다. 남해안 4개항(부산, 충무, 여수, 제주)의 해일, 기압 및 바람응력 spectrum의 peak 에너지는 0.008-0.076cph(약 3-10시간)의 저주파수대에 밀집되어 있고, 해일의 경우 여수와 제주에서 에너지 밀도가 크게 나타났다. 기압의 에너지 변동은 탁월하지 않았으며, 바람응력은 부산, 여수, 제주에서 에너지 밀도가 잘 나타났다. 또한, 세 변동성분의 자기상관은 해일의 경우 주기적 변동을 나타내었고, 기압과 바람응력은 모두 불규칙적인 상관을 보였다.

Horizontal scale and movement of tidal front zone, front in the western regions of Korea in summer are studied in conjunction with numerical model and NOAH-11 satellite data analysis(AVHRR multi -channel sea surface temperature). In numerical model result, tidal mixing is dominant in the southeast region of Hwanghae, near field of Taean, Kyunggi bay, near field of Jangsan cape, Seoan bay, mid-east Chinese coast. But the results of the NOAH infra-red image analysis show that low surface temperature by tidal mixing is clear in the southeast region of Hwanghae, near field of Taean, near field of Jangsan cape but not in the Kyunggi bay, Seoan bay and mid- east Chinese coast in August and September, temperature gradient of frontal zone in the southwest region of Hwanghae is 0.05°∼0.1℃/㎞ and tidal mixing is dominant in the near field of Maenggal kundo and Hajodo and low surface temperature extends southwesrward. Early in August, west-east front(0.2°∼0.6℃/㎞) on the south region of Jindo moves northward and persists at east half on the joining line of Jindo and Sohuksando late September. The axis of front on the west region of Jindo is northeast~sorthwest early in August and moves westward until late September The tidal mixing in the near field of Jangsan cape is dominant in the region between Jangsan cape and Baengyougdo early in August and between Baengyougdo and Daechungkundo in late September. The axis of front on the west region of Jangsan cape is south-north and its temperature gradient is 0.2°∼0.4℃/㎞.

1987년 6월-1988년 4월까지 격월로 제주도 해안선주변 10개 정점에서 부유성 갑각류의 현존량과 생산량을 야간채집, 조사하였다. 계절별 평균개체수는 12월에 가장 낮고, 6월에 가장 높았는데, 이들 개체의 대부분(90% 이상)은 90μm 망목의 네트로 채집된 것으로 이뤄졌다. 계절별 평균 현존량의 범위는 6.6-55.0mgm^(-1)(평균 16mgm^(-3))이고, 여름에 높았다. 일일평균 생산량 역시 여름(369μgCm^(-3)d(-1))에 높고 겨울(112μgCm^(-1)d^(-1))에 낮았다. P/B의 비(평균 0.25)는, 수온이 높고 소형 동물플랑크톤의 개체수가 많은 계절에 높은 값을 나타냈다.

The primary production at 10 stations around the coast line of Cheju Island has been investigated from the viewpoint of standing crops(cells/e), chlorophyll-a concentration and CO₂ fixation of phytoplankton during the period from June, 1987 to March, 1989. Phytoplankton standing crops ranged from 2,025 to133,734 cells/ethrough the year, increasing from June and showing a peak in August. The distribution of standing crops was the highest in the eastern area and the lowest in the northern area. Chlorophyll-a concentration ranged from 0.45 to 2.59 ㎎/㎥ during the study period, which was much lower than that in the other Korean coastal waters. To estimate the CO₂ fixation of phytoplankton, daily primary production (㎎C/㎥/day) has been determined using C-14 method. It ranged 1.31-7.15, 34.54117.04, 22.283.64, 8.53-11.95㎎㎎/㎥/㎥/day in winter, summer, fall, and spring, respectively, and showed the highest in the western area. The carbon assimilation number(㎎C/㎎ chl-a/hr)was also higher in summer than in other seasons. The general characteristics of primary production of phytoplankton around the coast line of Cheju Island was high in the eastern and western regions during the summer season.

In order to know sea water characteristics around coast line of Cheju Island, physical and chemical environmental factor analyses have been performed with data observed from June 1987 to April 188. Water temperature was over 10℃ even in winter with highest value of 14.7℃ in the southern part over the whole study area. Concentrations of DO, COD and SS were as low as those in the standard sea-water-quality classes [I] and [II]. Nutrient concentration was higher in the present study region than on the coastal areas by previous works, suggesting influx of materials from land. The ratio of N/P ranged from 21.6 to 67.4 (mean : 38.8). Concentration of Chlorophgll-a was high in eastern and southern part throughout the year, except a special high value of 3.89㎎/㎥ at Gosan, western part of the study area, in August.

In order to survey the traditional salt production at the eastern coast, Young-Hae, in Yi-dynasty, data of salt production were collected through interviewing with whom had received the skill from ancestors and analyzed the data. The results obtained were as follows. Salt-producer take the salt water containing much salt and then he transported the salt-water by having water buckets an back in with using the water-toting device (Mul ji ge). Finally he carried out the irrigation (Mul dae gi) to a ditch (Dorang). It is noteworthy that the East-sea salt production method was not selecting a method of salt-pond style with a bank for salt production but using the salt water transportation fashion without a bank for that. Judging from these facts, we could conclude that traditional salt production method was handed down into the Yi-dynasty from ancient times.

1984년 7월 24일에서 동년 8월 2일까지 동해안과 울릉도를 항해중 정선하여 14개의 관측점에서 수심 5m~200m층을 관측한 해중소음의 음압레벨을 분석한 결과, 해중소음은 연안에서 멀리 떨어진 해역의 표층부근에서는 평균 1dB/16m의 비율로 수심이 깊어짐에 따라 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었으며, 정상적인 소음분포 형태를 이루고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 항구나 항만입구 부근에서는 육상소음의 영향을 받아, 단속적이고 지역적인 소음분포 형태를 이루고 있음과 해저지형과 해상에 따라서도 크게 변동됨을 알 수 있었다.
