Ecosystem-based fisheries management requires a holistic assessment of the status of fisheries by integrating fishery ecosystem indicators for management objectives. In this study four objectives were identified such as the maintenance of the sustainability, biodiversity and habitat quality and socio-economic benefits. The ecosystem-based fisheries assessment (EBFA) model to assess fisheries and their resources at the ecosystem level developed for Korean fisheries (Zhang et al., 2009) has a number of indicators for three management objectives. However, it was found that there were some overlapping components among indicators and that there were difficulties in assessing some indicators in the EBFA model. This study identified problems of the approach and suggested more pragmatic and simpler indicators. It also presented alternative reference points to assess indicators and discussed issues associated with the application of the EBFA model to a marine ranching ecosystem. In this study a total of 24 indicators were used for the assessment which included 4 socio-economic indicators. New indicators and reference points were demonstrated by applying it to the Uljin marine ranch.

최근 개발압력이 가중되고 있는 울진군 왕피천을 대상으로 하천 주변폭 약 1km씩을 대상으로 현존식생도, 녹지자연도, 식생구조 등 산림생태계 조사를 실시하였다. 현존식생도 분석결과 식생유형은 총 26개로 구분되었으며, 그 중 소나무가 우점하는 군락이 6개 유형으로 가장 많이 나타났다. 녹지자연도의 경우 등급 8지역이 전체 조사면적의 70.8%를 차지하였으며. 등급 9지역은 0.3%로 나타났다. 식물군락의 분류는 classification 기법 중 TWINSPAN을 이용한 결과 총 5개군락, 소나무군락(I), 소나무군락(II), 소나무군락(III), 신갈나무군락(IV), 굴참나무군락(V)으로 구분되었다. 각 군락별로 상대우점치를 이용하여 식생구조를 파악하였고, 그 밖에 종수 및 개체수분석 흉고직경급별 분석, 유사도지수 분석을 실시하였다.
