In these days, the pollution of marine environment near island at Korean coastal zone caused by the trash human waste and livestocks excreata become intensified. One of the most economic and efficient way to prevent this pollution problem is to set up island circulating incineration system. In this paper, the result of feasibility study on the application of turtle boat hull form to the incinerating vessel has been summarized especially for the resistance and course keeping point of view.

시간평균된 해안의 지하수위는 내륙쪽에 강우가 없는 경우에도 평균해수면 (Mean Sea Level)보다 1내지 2미터 정도 높은 것으로 관측되었다. 이러한 해안의 지하수위상승현상은 주로 파랑과 조석의 작용에 의해 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 지하수위상승에 미치는 조석 및 파랑의 효과를 현장관측결과를 통해 정량적으로 보여주었으며, 또한 이들 각각의 작용에 기인한 지하수위상승에 대한 해석해 및 최근 이론들을 제시하였다. 특히, 최근 지하수의 수리학적 모델링에 관한 연구에서 파랑의 침투 (wave runup infiltration)효과의 중요성이 강조되었는 바, 본 연구를 통해 종래에 보고된 바 없는 swash zone (shoreline과 runup limit사이)에서의 파랑의 침투속도(분포)를 지하수위관측자료를 이용해 간접적으로 산정함으로써 해안의 지하수위예측모델링을 보다 정확히 수행할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

The location and the shape of a freshwater transition zone in a coastal aquifer are affected by many hydraulic variables. To data most works to determine the effects of these variables are limited to qualitative comparison of transiton zones. In this work characteristics of transition zones are analyzed quantitatively. The investigation is limited to a steady-state transition zones. Three dimensionless variables are defined to represent characteristics of steady-state transition zones. They are maximum introsion length, thickness, and degree of stratification. Effects of principal hydraulic variables (velocity and dispersivity) on these characteristics are studied using a numerical model. Dimensional analysis is used to systematically analyze entire model results. Effects of velocity and dispersivity are seem clearly. From this study, increase in velocity is found to cause shrinkage of transition zones. This observation contradicts claims by some that, because dispersion is proportional to velocity, increase in velocity would cause expansion of transition zones.

The geomorophology of the tidal near $K\breve{u}$m river estuary on the west coast of Korea was studied using satellite images. There Landsat image of different tidal moment were geometrically corrected to be overlapped one another. Then topographic contours were extracted for the analysis with concept of 3-D. According to the morphological analysis, the tidal flats around $K\breve{u}$m river estuary area can be classified in three morphologically different groups: one is developped in a belt type along the shore; another is a delta type in the estuary; the other is developped between the shore line and islands. The morphological characteristics of the tidal flats in the study area seems to be mainly influenced by the tidal dynamics which are very storg on the weatern coastal zone of Korea. However the waves and human activities seem also to be important in some part of the area.

A research probing for the unrecorded and taxonomically undescribed indigenous species has been initiated since 2006. Samples were collected from an intertidal zone along the coasts of Korea as well as around the Jeju Island. We have found five unrecorded species of four genera belonging to the order Dinophysiales, Gymnodiniales, Peridiniales, and Prorocentrales. The species are as follows, Sinophysis canaliculata (2017) Bispidodinium angelaceum (2015), Cabra armorica (2016), Prorocentrum bimaculatum (2017), and P. tsawwassenense (2017) (note; The numbers in parenthesis refer to the year in which the species was reported as unrecorded indigenous species by National Institute of Biological Resources, NIBR hereafter).

Parartotrogus minutus n. sp. is described as a parasite of the brittle star Ophiuroglypha kinbergi (Ljungman) from the intertidal zone on the Yellow Sea coast of Korea. The new species is characterized by a combination of morphological features that the body is small, less than 0.5 mm long, the caudal ramus is 1.73 times longer than wide, leg 3 bears three-segmented rami, and the exopod of leg 5 is armed with two setae. The new species is the third known species in the genus, following P. richardi Scott T. and Scott, A., 1893 known from European waters and P. arcticus Scott T., 1901 known from both North Atlantic and North Pacific.

The application of computer model to the port and harbor development is categorized in the field of port development policy, economic analysis and evaluation, civil engineering analysis, hydrodynamic analysis, evaluation of social and natural environment effect, etc. The study in this paper, however, is limited to hydrodynamic analysis, especially the analysis of water wave propagation and response to the shore structure due to the construction and implementation of shore boundary, the mathematical formulation of the numerical model is established systematically based on the hybrid Element Method and applied to solving the wave refraction, diffraction and radiation problems for a circular basin, the artificial beach or lagoon in terms of coastal zone development.

Based on the extended spatial mobilization plane (SMP) criterion, we present an elastic-brittle-plastic solution for an axisymmetric cylindrical tunnel. The influences of the intermediate principal compressive stress and material strain-softening behavior are considered. Closed-form formulas for the critical support force, radius of plastic zone, and distributions of stress and displacement in surrounding rock are proposed. The elastic-plastic solution based on SMP is compared with the Kastner solution to verify the credibility of the obtained elastic-plastic solution. The elastic-brittle-plastic solution following the SMP criterion and the current solution based on the Mohr-Coulomb criterion are also compared. The rock strain-softening rate and the intermediate principal stress affect the stability of the surrounding rock. The results provide guidance for optimizing the design of support systems for tunnels.

The genus Acymatopus Takagi is reported for the first time from Korean fauna along with two nominate species, A. minor Takagi, 1965 and A. takeishii Masunaga, Saigusa & Yang, 2005. This genus belonging to the subfamily Hydrophorinae in the family Dolichopodidae. It comprised of only six species in the world and distributed only in Japan and China thus far. The genus is diagnosed by a metallic bluish-green body with thick gray tomentum, lacking black and white markings of mesonotum, 2 pairs of long marginal setae at scutellum and male's dorsally slightly curved fore tarsomere 1. Both adults and larvae of this genus are known to be found on rugged and rocky marine shores of the tidal zone. The authors found the first recorded species in the west seaside of Korea, where many barnacles inhabit. The descriptions and illustrations of external features including male genitalia of newly recorded species are provided in this paper.

There are some factors affecting the shorebirds in selecting a coastal inland roost site where they have to stay during the high tide when the entire intertidal zone is covered with water. We investigated eight species (Eastern Curlews Numenius madagascariensis, Green Shanks Tringa nebularia, Bar-tailed Godwits Limosa lapponica, Grey Plovers Pluvialis squatarola, Dunlins Calidris alpine, Whimbrels Numenius phaeopus, Eurasian Curlews Numenius arquata and Terek Sandpipers Xenus cinereus) to identify the spatial and temporal variability in coastal inland roost use in the area and the factors influencing the use. We considered the area and length of the standing water in the roost site, temperature, wind speed, the time of migration and the intensity of disturbance. As a result, number of individuals and type of species using the roost site varied across spatial and temporal scales. And the factors affecting the roost use was species-specific. The roost site of the study area was a closed shrimp farm however, it has been converted to a Salicornia herbacea, a salt marsh plant, farm recently. In a situation where coastal inland roost site is needed, we hereby describe a resolution for the juxtaposition of shorebirds and farming.
