Abstract

In this study, we used marine environment assessment indices to evaluate impacts of various development projects on the marine environment. TheWaterQuality Index (WQI) was applied in the field of marine water quality and the Cleanup Index of Harmful Chemicals (CIHC), the Cleanup Index of Eutrophication (CIET), the Enrichment Factor(EF) were used in the field of marine sediment. In the field of marine benthic organisms, the Benthic Health Index (BHI) and the Benthic Pollution Index (BPI) were utilized. Each assessment index was calculated using the data observed in the development project, and its characteristics and usefulness were evaluated. The assessment method and criteria were clearly defined for WQI, CIHC, and BHI. Furthermore, through these indices, an integrated environment impact analysis was possible. Apart from the indices presented in this study, there are various indices that can be used for evaluating the marine environment. Therefore, it is important to utilize appropriate indices according to the characteristics of each project.

본 연구에서는 해양에서 진행되는 개발사업으로 인하여 해양환경에 미치는 영향을 효율적으로 판단할 수 있는 평가지수들을 비교·검토하였다. 해양수질 분야에는 수질평가지수(WQI), 해양저질 분야에는 유해화학물질 정화지수(CIHC), 부영양화 정화지수(CIET), 농축계수(EF), 해양저서생물 분야에는 저서건강도지수(BHI), 저서오염지수(BPI)를 선정하였다. 개발사업에서 관측된 자료를 각각의 평가지수에 적용하여 평가지수의 특성 및 효용성을 파악하였다. 수질평가지수, 유해화학물질 정화지수, 저서건강도지수가 평가방법 및 평가기준이 명확히 정의되어 있으며, 통합적인 환경영향 분석이 가능하였다. 동 연구에서 제시된 지수이외에도 해양환경을 평가하는 다양한 지수가 있으며, 사업별 특성에 따라 적합한 지수를 활용하는 것도 중요하다.
