한반도 서해 천수만에서 해안선 변화 및 조간대 해빈 특성을 조사하기 위하여 1년 동안 지형, 표층퇴적물, 퇴적율과 해안절벽의 침식율 등을 조사하였다. 천수만의 해안선은 심하게 풍화된 퇴적암과 풍화토층으로 구성되어 있고 관측결과 -58.9~-73.3 cm/yr 후퇴하였다. 해안침식을 지시하는 톱날 모양의 해안선, 고조선 해빈의 전석, 침식되지 못하고 남아있는 잔류암맥, 그리고 바위섬 모양의 "Island Stack" 등의 여러 가지 특징들이 발견되었다. 한편, 해빈 퇴적물의 조성 성숙도는 돌출부에서 만입된 중앙으로 갈수록 성숙된 경향을 보인다. 이는 해빈을 구성하는 사질퇴적물의 기원이 남측과 북측의 돌출부에 있음을 의미하며, 침식된 퇴적물은 파랑에 의해 야기된 연안류에 의해 만입된 중앙으로 이동되는 것으로 해석된다.

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.

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℃/㎞.

We used seawater temperature data, measured in the Garolim Bay, to analyze temperature variation on an hourly and daily basis. Lagrange’s interpolation using before and after data was applied to restore nonconsecutive missing temperature data. The estimated error of the data restoration was 0.11oC. Spectral analyses of seawater temperature showed significant periodicities of approximately 12.4 h (semidiurnal tide) and 15.0 d (long-period tide), which is close to those of M2 and Mf partial tides. Variation in seawater temperature was correlated more with tidal height than with air temperature around the Garolim Bay. In June and December, when the seawater temperature difference between the inside and outside of the Garolim Bay was very large, the periodicities of 12.4 h and 15.0 d were highly prominent. These results indicate that the exchange of seawater between the inside and outside of the Garolim Bay induced variations in seawater temperature owing to tide. Understanding temperature variation because of tide helps to prevent abnormal mortality of cultured fish and to predict seawater temperature in the Garolim Bay.

This paper focuses on the impacts of waste dumping on inorganic nutrients in the dumping area of the Yellow Sea, and the effect of an governmental regulation of pollution in dumping areas. The environmental variables and parameters of the dumping and reference areas in the Yellow Sea were measured during July 2009 and analyzed. In addition, the analyzed data for inorganic nutrients over the last 10 years were obtained from the Korea Coast Guard (KCG) and the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI). The chemical environment of the study area revealed increases in concentrations of inorganic nutrients, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Volatile Suspended Solids (VSS) in the bottom layer. On the contrary, the pH level was decreased. Most notably, the time series data of inorganic nutrients showed gradual increase over time in the dumping area, and thus, the oligotrophic waters trend toward eutrophic waters. The increases appears to be due to the disposal of large amounts of organic waste . In recent times, the wastes disposed at the area were largely comprised of livestock wastewater, and food processing waste water. The liquefied waste, which contains an abundance of nutrients, causes a sharp increase in concentrations of inorganic nitrogen in the dumping area. On the one hand, the dumping sites have been deteriorated to such an extent that pollution has become a social problem. Consequentially, the government had a regulatory policy for improvement of marine environmental since 2007 in the dumping area. Hence, the quality of marine water in the dumping site has improved.

The gonadsomatic index (GSI) of mottled skate was the highest in April, GSI and HSI showed a reverse phase for its reproductive cycle. The fish had one pair of egg capsules, having 1 to 7 fertilized eggs, and spawned all the year round. When surveying the reproductive characteristics of females over 63 ㎝ in disc width, we found the spawning peak was between April to June, and the appearance ratio of egg capsules was the highest in May (32.1%). The eggs were hatched at 8℃, 13℃, 18℃, water temperature (12.8 to 24.2℃), and the best hatching temperature was 18℃. The number of fish hatched was 4 to 5 fish/egg capsules, and the hatching rate was 100%. The sex ratios of hatching larvae were 45.5% female and 54.5% male. Therefore this study will provide fundamental data and information for artificial reproduction of the mottled skate.

Salicornia europaea (glasswort) is succulent, annual, halophytic plant mainly distributed throughout reclaimed land or salt marsh. It has strong tolerance to salt so that it plays the part of the pioneer species in the first succession. According to domestic and foreign studies, S. europaea contains plenty of minerals and antioxidant in the body. Since people take note of an availableness of this plant as health diet, the natural growth sites are threatened. In addition to development of salt marsh and sea shore, imprudent harvest has a bad effect to S. europaea population maintenance. To seek ways to preserve the population of this plant, we carried out the continuity of seed germination and restoration test. Seokmo Island, Daebu Island, Youngjong Island and Sudokwon landfill in Korea are selected sites for research. Result of germination continuity shows that most S. europaea seeds germinate on March but no more after July. However the germination was occurred after that time in the greenhouse. So we concluded that no germination after July is a matter of environmental condition not the number of remaining seeds. Also germination was seldom occurred in the spot where seeds production was not happened. In result of continuity test of seed germination by soil depth, germination was occurred vigorously only in top soil. From these results, we note that most S. europaea germinate in the early spring, and germination is finished by July. And this rapid germination speed makes the number of seeds in soil seed bank rare. If a large number of S. europaea in some area are harvested after July, the number of this species will dramatically decrease in that area the following year. In Seokmo Island, we carried out reintroduction experiment by sowing S. europaea seeds. On the first year, a small number of S. europaea settled and they produced seeds successfully. On April 2010, the second year, we observed many S. europaea in seed sowing sites. And we found out that plowing is more efficient than treatment sea water for settlement of S. europaea.

Harvesting of marshfire glasswort (Salicornia europaea) by local people has been increased recently since this plant was known for a well-being food. Even though some harvesting sites are facing high risk of environmental pollution, Salicornia europaea is still harvested on a large scale. Therefore, to investigate safety of Salicornia europaea as a food resource, salt marsh environment, potential harvestable biomass, element and heavy metal accumulations in Salicornia europaea has been studied in three salt marshes, west-coast of Korea. Salicornia europaea showed 150 – 230g/㎡/yr harvestable biomass. Biomass and nitrogen contents of Salicornia europaea were closely related to soil nitrogen and carbon concentrations. Average Na, Zn, Fe, Cr accumulations in Salicornia europaea were 41479, 18, 297, 1.5 (mg/kg), indicating valuable trace element contents. However, average heavy metal accumulations such as As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Hg accumulations were 1.5, 7.1, 4.2, 1.5, 0.1 (mg/kg), which were even or higher than national standards (0.5, 0.5, 2, 2, 0.1) of salts. These results imply that harvesting and eating of Salicornia europaea in west-coast research sites would be harmful because the contents would be much higher if it is calculated as only considering salts and minerals. Therefore, harvesting of Salicornia europaea from some salt marsh in west-coast of Korea should be done cautiously.
