This study examines the issues regarding the selection competition process of offshore wind power operators conducted in Japan in 2020. It also explores the implications of the findings on the legal system of Korea for the introduction of offshore wind power in the future. Drawing on Japan's example, Korea must reconsider the importance of the price aspect when introducing offshore wind power and adopt policies that prioritize balanced industrial development and focus on regional and domestic economic ripple effects.

An feasibility analysis is performed for the tidal current power generation with the examination of the sea water speed distribution at Pungdo. In this analysis, the water speed distribution which is the key issue was obtained from the actual speed distribution data and results in "the annual current tidal power". Due to the lack of cost information, we applied EPRI data from the internet site instead of the actual information. The result could be used as a base data for the construction of current tidal power plant in the near future. And it is expected to provides good data for the Energy policy.

This paper emphasized the necessity of the marine spatial planning (MSP) through the analysis of the major developmental projects which could make a contradiction based on the adequacy of the site selection and environmental impacts. The conflicting affairs between space utilization and management plan happen in the following ways: marine renewable energy development, sand mining, reclamation, construction of golf course in coastal area, thermal effluent and waste heat, erosion causing port development. The conflict of stakeholder continues caused by the accumulated environmental impact. For the reasons mentioned above, we found two things. First, it is necessary to comprehend the fact of developmental planning and MSP. Second, it is still unsatisfactory to connect the relevance of laws related to the spatial planning. For the reinforcement of marine environmental policy management, it is necessary to consolidate the property of site selection and assessment of developmental scale. Especially, while the strategic environmental assessment is in progress based on site selection and property of scale, consistent diagnosis is needed in the following concerns: the fact of the marine spatial planning, the relevance between national developmental plan and regional developmental plan, fisheries regulation, marine protected animals. For the environmentally sound and sustainable development (ESSD), MSP should have to be prepared based in a way of top-down including coastal and EEZ plan, relevance of ocean-use zoning and sector planning, 3-D spatial information. And also integrated information system have to be prepared through high-tech marine spatial information. In conclusion, consistent and relevant strategy for MSP should have to include the whole information related to the maritime affairs such as harbor, fishing port, fishing ground, coastal management, marine ecosystem generally.
