우리나라 서해안 중부, 경기만 일대는 강한 조석과 잘 발달된 해만으로 인해 천혜의 조력자원 보고로 알려져 있으나, 1980년대부터 서 남해 연안역에 대한 대규모 매립과 항만개발 등으로 조력개발입지 자체가 상실되고, 조석체계도 변화되고 있다. 한편 조력에너지는 기존의 화석연료를 대체할 수 있는 개발가능한 신 재생 에너지 중에서 거의 유일하게 대규모로 개발이 가능한 것으로 평가되고 있어 개발시 기대효과는 매우 클 것이다. 이에 우리나라 서해안의 조력자원 부존량을 파악하고 주요 후보지에 대한 개발타당성 검토를 통하여 주요 조력자원 후보지를 타 개발로부터 보호하고, 민간참여를 유도하여 조력에너지 개발을 활성화하고자 본 조사를 추진하였다. 한반도 조력자원 개발타당성 검토를 위하여 1) 서해안의 주요 지점에 대한 조석특성을 조사하였고, 2) 주요 조력자원 후보지 위치 및 영역을 설정하였으며, 3) 조석체계변화예측 수치모형실험을 실시하였고, 4) 후보지별 발전소 평면배치계획을 수립하였으며, 5) 후보지별 연간발전량과 개략공사비를 산출하여 6) 후보지별 개략타당성 검토를 수행하였다. 검토결과 우리나라 서해안의 조력개발 가능규모는 215만kW 정도이며, 주요 후보지를 모두 개발할 경우 연간 3,826GWh의 전기를 생산할 수 있을 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 연간발전량 대비 순공사비 비율에 따르면 만 입구가 좁아 개발 경제성 확보가 유리한 가로림만을 우선 추진하고, 이후 인천만, 천수만 순으로 개발하는 것이 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

기후 온난화로 인하여 빙하의 해빙과 해수의 팽창으로 해수면의 상승 속도는 나날이 증가하고 있다. 우리나라는 2.48mm/yr로 상승하고 있으며, 특히 남해는 2.89mm/yr로 가장 크게 상승하고 있다. 해수면의 상승과 더불어 해수침투 영역 확장을 방지할 수 있는 지하수위 또한 낮아지고 있어 해수침투에 대한 피해를 점차 늘어나고 있다. 해수침투로 인한 피해는 연안지역에서부터 시작하여 점점 영역을 넓혀가고 있다. 해수침투 피해는 직접적으로 토지의 염수화로 지하수의 오염, 농작물의 염수 피해, 주변 생태계의 교란 등으로 나타나고 한 번 염수화가 진행된 지역을 되돌리는 것은 많은 노력과 재화가 들어가게 된다. 이를 방지하기 위해서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 해수침투 범위가 증가하는 것이 해수면의 상승도 큰 영향을 미치지만, 해수침투 쐐기를 구성하는 담수 지하수위가 낮아지면 더욱 가속화된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 남해안의 여수지역을 SEAWAT으로 구성하여, 현재의 상황을 나타내고 지하수위, 해수면, 지하수 이용량, 함양량 등을 대상으로 선형적인 상승 혹은 하강으로 미래의 상황을 나타내었다. 적용된 시나리오에 지하수위 관리 방안을 적용하여 해수침투 영역 저감 효과에 대해서 분석하였다. 지하수위 관리 방안으로는 지하수위 하강 시기에 지하수 이용량 규제, 도심지에서 LID(Low Impact Development) 시설물 중 침투 증진 시설 보강 등을 이용하였으며, 각각의 시나리오를 통해 해수침투 영역 저감 효과 분석을 실시하였다. 지하수위의 관리는 해수침투에 대한 피해 방지와 더불어 지속가능한 지하수 이용을 위한 정책을 마련하기 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 보여진다.

The Central South Sea Mud (CSSM), developed in the Seomjin River estuary, is known to be supplied with sediments from Heuksan Mud Belt (HMB) and Seomjin River. However, in order to form a mud belt, more sediments must be supplied than supplied in the above areas. Therefore, research on additional sources should be conducted. In this study, clay minerals, major elements analyzes were performed on cores 16PCT-GC01 and 16PCT-GC03 in order to investigate the transition in the provenance and transport pathway of sediments in CSSM. The Huanghe sediments are characterized by higher smectite and the Changjiang sediments are characterized by higher illite. Korean river sediments contain more kaolinite and chlorite than those of chinese rivers. Korean river sediments have higher Al, Fe, K concentraion than Chinese river sediments and Chinese rivers have higher Ca, Mg, Na than those of Korean rivers. Therefore, clay minerals and major elements can be a useful indicator for provenance. Based on our results, CSSM can be divided into three sediment units. Unit 3, which corresponds to the lowstand stage, is interpreted that sediments from Huanghe were supplied to the study area by coastal or tidal currents. Unit 2, which corresponds to the transgressive stage, is interpreted to have a weaker Huanghe effect and a stronger Changjiang and Korean rivers effect. Unit 1, which corresponds to the highstand stage when the sea level is the same as present and current circulation system is formed, is interpreted that sediments from Changjiang and Korean rivers are supplied to the research area through the current.

To investigate effect of variation in physiochemical conditions due to river discharge on phytoplankton, field surveys were conducted in the Seomjin and Yeongsan River estuaries from April to November 2016. The concentrations of DIN and DSi in Seomjin River estuary were gradually low as distance from upstream. On the other hands, the concentrations of DIN and DSi in Yeongsan River estuary were critically high at upstream, due to which is characterized as semi-enclosed eutrophic area. A total of 12 phytoplankton pigments were analyzed, and the distribution of each taxa was investigated using indicator for each phytoplankton taxa. Fucoxanthin, an indicator pigment of diatoms, showed an average of 0.61±1.00 ㎍ l^-1 and 0.76±1.22 ㎍ l^-1 in the Seomjin and Yeongsan River estuaries, respectively. Concentration of fucoxanthin was more than twice that of other pigments except chlorophyll a., indicating that diatoms were dominant taxa. Peridinin, an indicator pigment of dinoflagellate, showed some similar tendency to the microscopic observation, but mismatch results were also present, indicating a technical limitation of pigment analysis. Chlorophyll b, alloxanthin, and zeaxanthin, which are indicator pigments of green algae, cryptomonads, and cyanobacteria, were detected in both estuaries even though those taxa were not detected in microscopic observation. This indicates that the two estuaries were affected by freshwater species. Here, we can suggest that phytoplankton composition in estuary was directly influenced by the inflow from upstream. In particular, the phytoplankton population dynamics in Yeongsan River estuary was greatly associated with a large-scale artificial dyke, especially in summer rainy season. On the other hands, the seasonal and horizontal distribution of phytoplankton in Seomjin River estuary has changed along the salinity gradients and inflow-related changes.

Ecology and life History of the mudskipper, Boieophthaimus pectinirostris were investigated based on the specimens collected from the Korean roasts from 1978 to 1994. The spawning of this species takes place during the period from June to August. Prolarva hatched from egg was 3.3mm in total length, and began to bottom life in TL 16.0mm of 40 days after hatching. The stomach contents were principally diatoms. In the foraging behavior, this species were conducted at the wet soft mud on the upper tidal zones. The burrowing observed in the intertidal mud flat was YL type. B. pectinirostris is restricted to western and southwestern coast of Korea, but their habitats and individuals are being reduced by the result of reclimation to tide land.

The first bloom of Cochlodinium polykrikoides was observed in the estuary of Nak-dong river near Pusan in Korea in 1982. Since then, there have been irregular blooms, sometimes spread over the adjoining .to Jinhae Bay even though it was confined to the bay and its vicinites until 1988. It had been outbroken frequently in the adjacent to Tongyeong, Geoje, Namhae and Yeosu coast since 1989. It became widespread along the coast of the South Sea to the East Sea of Korea in 1995. And in October in 1998 and 1999, the bloom had been taken place in Kunsan coast of Yellow Sea. According to the observations in situ, the frequency of occurrence has been increased year by year. The prevailing bloom season was from July to October with peak in September. The duration of the bloom became longer with the year, and sometimes lasted more than one month. The density of the bloom did not exceed 5,000 cells $mL^{-1}$until 1991, but it increased year by year to the highest of 43,000 cells $mL^{-1}$ in 1999. With respect to the assembleges of species in dinoflagellate blooms, C. polykrikoides was one of the important species with diatoms and the other dinoflagellates in 1980s. But since then, C. polykrikoides made an almost monospecific bloom. Based on two decadal observations of C. polykrikoides blooms, it became widespread throughout whole coast of the Korea, persistent for about one or two month long in some year, and monospecisc high density blooms. It was reported that significant fish mortalities were caused by this harmful dinoflagellate blooms especially in the fishfarms accomodating intensive fish cages such as Tongyeong, Namhae-do, Geoje, Yeosu and Geomun-do fishfarming yards. This widespread and persistent harmful algal blooms impede the development of marine aquaculture industries.

Thirty three species belonging to twenty genera in the subfamily Gobiinae of Korea were reviewed and key to species and genera were provided. Among them twenty seven species captured during 1985-1987 were examined on the cephalic sensory canal systems for the taxonomic review, and classified into 4 groups based on the presence or absence of the canal and their canal pore patterns. It was confirmed that the pore patterns of preopercular and anterior ocular-scapular canal were important in the diagnosis of gobiid genera or species and in the discussion of the specialized species group. It was considered that the genus of Acentrogobius masago should be transferred to Pseudogobius from Acentrogobius, because A. masago was more similar to P. jausnicus than to A. pflaumi and its congeneric species in their cephalicc sensory canal systems. Some populations of Chaenogobius annularis and Acanthogobius lactipes showed the geographical variations in cephalic pit organs and the number of predorsal scales. The endemic gobiid species was not found the Korean waters, but some species showed a disjunct distributions between the west and the east coast waters in Korea. The south coast was inhabited by the abundant species including twenty seven species of seventeen genera. The genera of Acanthogobius, Chaenogobius, and Chasmichthys were considered to be the common genera in Korean waters.

Mn, Zn, Cd and Pb in shells of Littorina brevicula, which lives ubiquitously in intertidal zone around the Korean coast, were analyzed to determine the relationship between metal levels in its shell, ambient seawater and its tissue. Periwinkles and seawater samples were collected from 38 sites along the Korean coast in January 1997. Mn contents in shells of this organism show the range of 7.0 ${\mu}g$/g-211 ${\mu}g$/g (mean 59 ${\mu}g$/g) and are the lowest in northern east coast but high in western south and west coast. Close relationship between Mn contents in shells and metal levels both in seawater and in tissues indicates that Mn in shell might be incorporated from ambient seawater by a biological process. Although the contents of Cd in shells did not reflect the distribution of total Cd in seawaters and they were very low compared to those in tissues, they followed spatial gradient of contents in tissues. However, the spatial distribution of Zn contents in shells accords neither ambient seawater nor tissues, while it is negatively correlated with the contents of Na in shells. This fact suggests that Zn contents might be controlled by salinity of ambient seawater. On the contrary, Zn contents in highly polluted sites near Onsan Bay show generally higher levels than other sites. The contents of Pb show the range of 0.1 ${\mu}g$/g-17.5 ${\mu}g$/g (mean 1.01 ${\mu}g$/g) and the highest in sites near Onsan Bay. Although the spatial distribution of shell Pb does not follow those of tissue, Pb in shells of Littorina brevicula may be controlled both by shell secretion process and by Pb levels in ambient seawater because the contents of Pb in the shell decrease steadily with growth and vary with levels of Pb in ambient seawater.

The purse-seine fishery is very important in the coastal fishery of Korea and the main fish species of this fishery are mackerals and also the main fishing grounds are Tushima Current region, To investigate the relationship between the fishing grounds of mackerels and oceanographic condition, the distribution of mean catches of mackerals of each size (1974~1982) was firstly examined and the oceanographic observation carried out in eastern and western area of Cheju island, being main fishing grounds, in July and October, 1983. The results are as follows: The main fishing grounds of mackerals were also in the Tsushima Current region in southern sea of Korea and the season of the good catches are in May and September to October. The small and medium size of mackerals of which the body lengths are 27 cm to 31 cm, about 2-3 ages, occupied about 90% but the smaller size mackerals of which body lenth is 22 cm (1 age)were about 40 to 70% in February to March. The locations of seasonal fishing grounds could founded by 15$^{\circ}C$ isotherm which indicates the Tsushima Current Water. With trace of this isotherm it was founded that the fishing grounds near the Korean Strait than that of south of Cheju island moves faster northward and/or later southward. The main fishing grounds eastward and westward of Cheju island were the front areas formed between the Tsushima Current Water and the southern coastal water of Korea or Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water. And also the distributions of transparences, water colors and the penetration of sun light of this fishing grounds were similar to that of the temperature, the salinity or volume of planktonic organism.

Two species, Psettina tosana and Pseudorhombus oculocirris, were collected firstly off the Saryang Island, South Sea of Korea. P. tosana is clearly distinguished from its related species, P. gigantea and P. iijimae, in having 9~10 pectoral fin rays, fewer number of lateral line scales, colorless snout region, and no gill rakers on the upper limb of gill arch. P. oculocirris much differs from P. pentophthalmus in having flattish and free rays of anterior dorsal fin, lots of scales in the lateral line, and tubular anterior nostril with flap on ocular side only.
