우리나라 영해 밖 EEZ내 침몰한 외국선박의 잔존유 제거작업이 국내 최초로 2019년 5월 이행되었다. 우리 관할수역이지만 기 름 제거작업은 홍콩 선주 측 P&I 보험사와 계약을 맺은 일본업체가 수행하고 국내 업무 대행은 S법무법인과 J해운이 맡았다. 해당 선박은 총톤수 4,433톤의 일반화물선으로 2015년 4월 제주도 남동방 약 48마일 해상에서 침몰하였다. 침몰 후 기름 제거 작업 개시까지 만 4년이 넘는 기간이 소요되었지만 잔존유 제거작업은 단 22일 만에 끝났다. 대형선박이고 잔존유량이 많았던 Erika호나 Prestige호 등 외국사례 등과 비교하면 기름 제거 결정까지 긴 시간이 걸렸다. 그 원인을 파악하고자 해당선박 침몰 시부터 잔존유 제거까지 생산된 모든 문서 93건을 확보하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 가장 우선적으로 이루어져야 할 행정적 절차 즉, 잔존유 제거에 대한 관할 행정기관의 의사결정이 지연 되었음이 확인되었다. 관할청에서 긴 시간 동안 많은 검토를 하였지만 최종 결과는 초기방안과 별로 달라지지 않았다. 4년의 시간이 흐르는 동안 선내 잔존유 상당량이 유출되고 화물 전체가 유실되었다. 의사결정 지연에 영향을 미친 원인으로 관할청의 사고 관련 기본 사실 이나 자료 확인 소홀부터 법률적, 기술적, 환경적 그리고 인적 측면 등 여러 문제점이 식별되었다. 연구 마지막에 식별된 문제점에 대한 개선안, 즉 의사결정 효율화 방안을 제시한다. 이 연구는 국내 최초 EEZ내 외국 침몰선박 잔존유 제거 사례를 고찰하여 향후 유사한 작업 계획이나 정책수립 등에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

This article’s aim is to review the jurisprudence which has emerged pursuant to the international dispute settlement provisions and to provide a provisional expectation as to the future of international dispute settlement under“UNCLOS”. Globally, marine fisheries play an important role in ocean biodiversity and the food security of millions of people, providing a vital source of high-quality dietary protein and supporting individuals’livelihoods and income. In the 1982 Convention, the establishment of co-operative mechanisms for effective monitoring, control, surveillance and enforcement, decision-making procedures facilitating the adoption of such measures of conservation and management, and the promotion of the peaceful settlement of disputes are called for. In this study,‘Northeast Asian Sea’means that the Yellow/ East China Sea, the East Sea, the Ohotsk Sea, the Kamchaka Sea, the Alaska Sea, and the Bering Sea surrounded by Korea, China, Japan, Russia, U.S.A. and Canada including their EEZs. There are several bilateral fisheries agreements existing in Northeast Asian area, the Fisheries Agreement between Republic Korea and Japan, between Republic of Korea and China, between China and Japan, between Republic Korea and U.S.A., between Republic Korea and Russia, between Russia and Japan, And there are several regional fisheries organizations existing in Northeast Asian area, for example NPAFC(Convention for the Conservation of Anadromous Stocks in the North Pacific Ocean), CBSPC (Convention on the Central Bering Sea Pollack Conservation), PICES(North Pacific Marine Science Organization), NPFC(North Pacific Fishery Commi-ssion) etc. It analyzed the proliferation of bilateral treaties and multilateral treaties due to the adoption of the EEZ in Northeast Asia reviewed the strengthening of management rights on the high seas marine living resources and marine environment preservation of regional fisheries organizations. In view of the changes in the international fisheries mechanism this paper suggested the future direction of the country in overseas fisheries. We concluded as follows. We shall apply bilateral treaties first, regional fisheries organizations’treaties secondly, and provisions under“UNCLOS”for dispute settlement last.

To examine species composition, abundance and biomass of fishes in the northwestern East Sea of Russian EEZ, trawl survey were conducted at 31 sampling stations from 2006 to 2008. Also, trawl survey were conducted at 21 sampling stations in the southwestern East Sea of Korean EEZ from 2006 to 2008. A total of 67 fishes were collected in the northwestern East Sea of Russian EEZ, a total of 39 fishes were collected in the southwestern East Sea of Korean EEZ. Among them, a total of 53 fishes were collected in the northwestern East Sea of Russian EEZ only, and a total of 25 fishes were collected in the southwestern East Sea of Korean EEZ only. Mean abundance per area which caught by trawl survey in the northwestern East Sea ranged from a high of 116,478 inds./km2 in 2008 to a low of 19,737 inds./km2 in 2006. And mean abundance per area in the southwestern East Sea ranged from a high of 89,129 inds./km2 in 2006 to a low of 8,234 inds./km2 in 2008. Mean biomass per area which caught by trawl survey in the northwestern East Sea ranged from a high of 11,333 kg/km2 in 2008 to a low of 2,439 kg/km2 in 2006. And mean biomass per area in the southwestern East Sea ranged from a high of 6,273 kg/km2 in 2006 to a low of 1,062 kg/km2 in 2008. Cluster analysis, based on a Bray–Curtis similarity matrix of fourth root transformed data of number of species and individuals per area, showed division into three different groups by depth in the northwestern and southwestern East Sea.

Global climate change is significant issue in marine ecosystem and fishery market. According to rising of both seawater temperature and sea-level, global fishery environment and marine ecosystem are changing drastically. Moreover, over-exploitation in fishery areas is the most important issue in the marine ecosystem conservation. In analysis and statistics of global network, major fish populations are decreasing very fastly, but fish catch are increasing annually. It means balance between product and consume is not appropriate in the global market. China as emerging new fish consumer in the world is strongly developing fishery industry and technology. In this paper, I try to review a relationship between marine ecosystem and climate change in global scale according to references. I also suggested possibility of sustainable global fishery in changing marine ecosystem by analysis of some related reports of international global fishery.

This study estimated quantitatively the loss of the fisheries due to China’s illegal fishing that prevailed in the EEZ of the country in recent and has been an object to present a basic data in the implementation of government policy as to strengthen the enforcement capacity, setting up the direction of the crackdown of Chinese through to figure out an objective loss according to that. The analyzed result of this study setting a reasonable scenario, fisheries resources reduction is estimated about 67.5 million ton and the estimated amount of the loss is about 1.3 trillion won. This is 21.2% of about 318.3 ten thousand tons of the total fishery production of the country and accounts for 61.9% compared to coastal and offshore fisheries production. Therefore it is a very serious problem due to China’s illegal fishing in Korea fisheries sector. It is significant to the point that estimating the qualitative and quantitative losses that can achieve a realistic and effective policy.

본 연구는 어족이 풍부하여 좋은 어장이 형성되어 있는 남해 EEZ에서 2009년 3월 어류를 채집 하였으며, 채집된 어류의 무기원소를 형광 X선 분석법(XRF, X-Ray Flourescence Spectrometry)을사용하여정성분석을 하였다.어종에 따라약간의차이는 있지만공통적으로 Na2O, MgO, Al2O3, SiO2, P2O5, SO3, Cl, K2O, CaO, MnO, Fe2O3, CuO, ZnO, As2O3, Br이 검출되었다. 또, K2O, SO3 이 다른 성분에 비해 높게 검출되었다.

서해 배타적경제수역내 해사채취구역에서 해저지형 변화를 규명하기 위하여 2회에 걸쳐 단일빔음향측심기를 이용한 측심자료를 획득하였다. 교차점 분석에 의한 측심자료의 정확도는 IHO 표준의 2등급에 해당하였다. 지형도는 폭 300 m, 깊이 10 m의 구덩이 형태를 나타내었으며, 이러한 지형의 변화 과정이 두 지형도 수심차의 분포에서 표현되었다. 그러나 해사채취량을 정량화하기 위해서는 더욱 정확하고 정밀한 자료가 요구된다. 이러한 지형변화는 퇴적환경 및 저서생태 환경에 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 한정된 모래자원을 관리하고 지속가능한 개발을 위해서는 과학적인 조사자료에 근거한 환경영향평가가 요구된다.
