Abstract

Many countries of the world, including IMO, has noticed that foreign marine hazardous organisms, which were introduced by ballast water, have disturbed the marine ecosystem of its own nation, and posed a serious threat to human health and the value of environment and economy. Therefore, IMO has tried to manage the introduced species by assessing the risk of ballast water, and suggested three risk assessment methods, such as environmental matching risk assessment, speciesbiogeographical risk assessment, and species-specific risk assessment. In this thesis, species-specific risk assessment method was considered, and a risk assessment program established by applying it was described.

IMO를 비롯한 세계 각국은 선박평형수에 의해 외래 해양 유해 생물이 유입되어, 자국의 해양생태계를 교란시키고 인간의 건강 및 환경, 경제적 가치에 심각한 위협을 주고 있음을 주목하고 이를 관리하고자 노력하고 있다. 이에, IMO에서는 선박평형수의 위해도를 평가하여, 유입 생물을 관리하고자 하였고, 환경 매칭 위해도 평가, 생물종생물 지리적 위해도 평가, 종별 특이성 위해도 평가 방법 등 3가지의 위해도 평가 방법을 제시하여 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 이 3가지 방법 중 종별 특이성 위해도 평가 방법에 관하여 고찰하고, 이를 적용하여 시범적으로 작성한 위해도 평가 프로그램에 관해 기술하였다.
