Abstract

After the UN General Assembly on 2006, Interest on the marine litter has rapidly increased internationally. The UN sub-organizations, UNEP/Regional Seas, FAO(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) and OC(Ocean Conservancy) as a one of world NGO had been tackled to collect information and prepared world reports related on marine litter, recently, those are published. Through the 10years experience of Korea's policy on marine litter since 1999, it is re-evaluated as a roll model internationally. In this paper, brief introduction of structure and function of Korea's authorities which are responsible for or are involved in the marine litter issue as well as the National Marine Litter Management Basic Plan which is established in 2008, has been provided. This paper also included the structure and roll of the marine litter initiative center in the plan. Change of the paradigm of action plan on marine litter in Korea already had been started.

2006년 UN 총회 이후, 국제사회에서 해양쓰레기에 대한 문제 인식이 증대되고 있다. 이에 따라 UN 산하기관인 UN 환경연합/지역해 그리고 국제연합식량농업기구(FAO) 뿐만아니라 전세계 최대 해양보전민간단체인 해양보전(OC)에서도 해양쓰레기에 관한 자료를 모으기 시작했고, 보고서를 통하여 각국정책, 기술, 실천계획등을 발표하고 있다. 해양쓰레기의 국제적 관심이 증가됨에 따라 국내 해양쓰레기 정책이 국제사회에 롤 모델로서 위치를 인정받고 있다. 1999년도에 본격적으로 시작된 국내의 해양쓰레기 정책은 중앙정부, 공단 및 협회, 정부출연기관, 시민단체가 공동으로 만들어낸 작품이기도 하다. 최근 국내해양쓰레기 관리 기본계획상에 제시되어 있는 해양쓰레기 전문센터의 역할과 함께 국내 해양쓰레기 관리에 있어 향후 나아가야 할 방향에 대해서도 기술하였다. 중앙정부 주도형인 국내 해양쓰레기 정책이 민간주도 그리고 오염원인자 부담원칙이 정립되는 시기까지는 전기관 및 전국민이 해양환경에 애정어린 관심과 노력이 요구된다.
