초록

생물다양성을 감소시키고 인간에게 경제적 손실을 불러오는 침입외래생물은 사전에 자연으로의 유입 차단이 최선이지만, 유입과 억제에 실패한 경우 적극적으로 구제하거나 퇴치해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 영국과 미국에서 실시된 뉴트리아 박멸 사례를 소개하고, 국내 뉴트리아 관리체계 개선에 기여할 수 있는 정보를 제공하고자 하였다. 영국의 박멸캠페인은 관리의 목적과 목표에 대한 완전한 이해를 바탕으로 장기적인 계획을 수립하였고 적합한 지원을 확보하였다. 뉴트리아에 대한 충분한 정보를 축적하고 관리 여건의 변화에 따라 관리전략을 수정하였으며, 현장에 반영하였다. 미국의 체사피크만 박멸 프로젝트는 장기간의 생태정보를 바탕으로 영국에 비해 발전된 포획 기술을 적용하였으며, 영국 박멸캠페인 성과를 분석하여 박멸계획과 전략, 실행방안을 도출하였다. 국내 서식하는 뉴트리아를 효과적으로 관리하기 위해서는 다음과 같은 사항을 제안할 수 있다. 첫째, 퇴치 필요성에 대하여 이해당사자간 공감으로 협의체를 구성하고 주기적으로 생태적 정보와 의견을 교환한다. 둘째, 현장의 의견을 적극 수렴하여 퇴치전략과 관리정책에 반영한다. 관리지표를 기반으로 퇴치계획을 수립하고, 성과를 평가하고, 성과에 따라 조정하는 모든 과정은 유기적으로 연계되도록 한다. 셋째, 과학적인 관리방법을 도입하고 관리성과는 객관적으로 평가하며, 실천계획은 서식실태 모니터링을 통해 가변적으로 조정한다. 넷째, 장기적인 예산과 안정적인 조직을 확보하고 퇴치 효율성이 높은 시기에 재원을 집중하여 투입한다. 이러한 시사점은 국내 뉴트리아 관리방식을 효율적으로 개선하고 체계적이고 장기적인 관리를 지속하는데 도움이 될 수 있다.

It is the better to take preventative measures against the natural intrusion in advance from invasive alien species that reduce biodiversity and cause economic loss to humans. If the prevention of intrusion and spread fails, we need to make active control and eradication. This study aims to introduce nutria (Myocastor coypus) control cases performed in the United Kingdom and the United States and to provide information for the contribution of nutria management measure improvements. The nutria eradication campaign in the United Kingdom was developed as a long-term plan based on sufficient understanding on the management target and objective and suitable support. Sufficient information on nutria was accumulated and the management strategy was flexibly modified according to the changes in management that were proactively reflected in the field. Regarding the eradication project at Chesapeake Bay in the United States, based on long-term ecological information, more advanced capture technology than in the United Kingdom were introduced and the eradication plan, strategy and implementation were configured by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the eradication campaign in the United Kingdom. The successful cases in the United Kingdom and the United State provide an information on how to improv the nutria management measure. For the eradication of nutria, it is necessary to reach a consensus between stakeholders and to form a consultative group between related organizations for periodic communication. Opinions on the field must be actively accepted in the consultation process for strategy and policy decision, and the eradication plan needs to be developed based on a management index. The eradication plan is required to be managed, evaluated and adjusted in a systematic way. Scientific management must be introduced and the management performance must be evaluated objectively so that a practical plan can be flexibly adjusted. It is also required to secure a long-term budget support and a stable organization and to input a concentrated budget at the proper period when there is high efficiency of eradication.
