Abstract

Changes in the interactions among incident ocean water waves, coastal debris (marine debris), and the back vegetation zone line on a natural sandy beach on the island of Jinu-do in the Nakdong river estuary were investigated. The study involved a cross-sectional field survey of the beach, numerical modeling of incident ocean water waves, field observations of the distribution of coastal debris, and vegetation zone line tracking using GPS. The conclusions of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) The ground level of the swash zone (sandy beach) on Jinu-do is rising, and the vegetation zone line, which is the boundary of the coastal sand dunes, shows a tendency to move forward toward the open sea. The vegetation zone line is developing particularly strongly in the offshore direction in areas where the ground level is elevated by more than 1.5 m. (2) The spatial distributions of incident waves differed due to variations in the water depth at the front of the beach, and the wave run-up in the swash zone also displayed complex spatial variations. With a large wave run-up, coastal debris may reach the vegetation zone line, but if the run-up is smaller, coastal debris is more likely to deposit in the form of an independent island on the beach. The deposited coastal debris can then become a factor determining which vegetation zone line advances or retreats. Finally, based on the results of this investigation, a schematic concept of the mechanisms of interaction between the coastal debris and the coastal vegetation zone line due to wave action was derived.

본 연구는 낙동강 진우도 자연 해빈에 내습하는 해양파랑, 해안표착물(해양쓰레기), 배후 식생대 전선의 변화 과정에 대한 상호작용에 대해서 고찰하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 해빈단면 측량, 입사파랑 수치모의실험, 해안표착물 분포 현장 조사, 자연해빈 식생대선 현장 조사 등을 수행하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 진우도 자연해빈의 지반고는 상승하고 있으며 이에 따라서 해안사구 식생대 전선도 전진하는 경향을 나타내고 있다. 지반고가 표고 1.5 m이상이 되는 상황에서 대체적으로 식생대의 전선이 외해방향으로 발달하는 경향이 강하게 나타났다. (2) 진우도 전면 수심에 의해 파랑변형된 입사파랑이 공간상으로 상이하고 소상대에서의 처오름 현상도 공간상으로 복잡한 변화를 야기할 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 해양쓰레기는 파의 처오름이 큰 경우 배후 식생대 전선에 표착물이 도달하고 그렇지 못한 경우에는 해빈상에 독립적인 섬의 형태로 표착물을 침적/퇴적시킬 가능성이 있다. 따라서 이렇게 침적된 표착물은 배후 식생대전선의 전진과 후퇴를 결정짓게 하는 요인이라 할 수 있다. 최종적으로 본 연구에서는 조사결과를 바탕으로 해안표착물과 식생대 전선의 상호작용에 대한 개념적 모식도를 제시하였다.
