새만금 간척사업을 둘러싸고 "개발이냐 보전이냐"에 관한 사회적 논의 이후 1998년 습지보전법을 제정한 바 있다. 그 후 갯벌의 경제적 가치에 대한 논의는 활발하지만 아직까지 우리사회는 갯벌의 일반적 가치를 제시할 만한 연구의 폭과 깊이를 확보하지 못한 상태이다. 이러한 한계를 고려하면서, 본 연구에서는 압막 - 상태 - 영향 - 반응(P - S - I - R)을 활용하여 갯벌 생태 변화를 예측한 다음 갯벌의 경제적 가치를 평가하는 것이 정책적으로 유용함을 제안한다. 한편, 우리 갯벌 가치와 관련한 선행연구결과를 검토한 결과 이를 우리 갯벌의 가치로 환산하여 일반화하기는 한계가 있음이 밝혀졌다. 이러한 한계를 감안하면서 단순평균값으로 갯벌의 가치를 도출한 결과 갯벌의 수산물생산편익은 ha당 4.994백만원, 수질정화편익은 ha당 9.757백만원의 가치를 갖는다.

본 연구에서는 우리나라의 갯벌에서 조사대상으로 삼는 멸종위기야생생물이자 해양보호생물, 흰발농게(Austruca lactea)의 전체 개체수 추정 방법을 검토하였다. 일반적으로 무한모집단에 대한 전수조사는 불가능하며 이는 갯벌 내 제한된 서식처에서 개체수를 추정하더라도 마찬가지이다. 표본으로부터 추정되는 서식 밀도 역시 다양한 생물학적, 생태학적 요인들로 인해 높은 변동성을 보인다. 서식처 경계와 면적은 측정 오차뿐만 아니라 생물의 주기성이나 리듬 활동(주야, 간만 주기 등)에 따라서도 달라진다. 따라서 밀도와 서식처 면적으로 산출되는 전체 개체수는 일시적인 것으로 간주되어야 한다. 이 같은 추정은 인천 송도 갯벌에서 3년 간 관찰된 흰발농게(A. lactea)의 평균 밀도와 표준오차 범위 그리고 공간분포의 시공간적 변동성에 근거하면 타당한 것으로 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 로지스틱 회귀모형의 출현 확률인 50%를 기준으로, 서식처 보존 가치의 중요성을 반영하는 잠재적 서식처 면적을 전체 개체수 추정의 대안으로 제시하였다. 보편성을 갖춘 모형으로부터 예측되는 잠재적 서식처는 대상종의 주요 환경조건이 급격하게 변하지 않는다면 시간에 따라 일정한 모습을 유지할 것이다. 특정종을 대상으로 개발되는 모형은 추후 서식처 복원/조성 사업에서도 원하는 생물의 정착을 유도하는데도 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

It is widely known that compare to many other countries, the U.S.A. has a strong framework for efficient implementation of mitigation policy to protect wetlands. As indicated in many strong mitigation initiatives, mitigation policy primary requires avoidance rule for wetland damage and if a developer inevitability damages wetlands, the development should be minimize, and as a last resort, the policy impose legal duty that a developer should compensate wetland corresponding to the damaged wetlands. However, the legal system fur Korea's mitigation system does not provide any legal duty for the compensatory mitigation, although the possibility of creation of tidal flat is casually expressed in several Korean legal systems. Therefore, without any strong and enforceable legal system, Korean mitigation system cannot efficiently protect Korea's vast and productive wetlands. To introduce mitigation policy similar to the U.S.A. in Korea, we suggest that there (a) should be a strongly policy which regulate legal duty for the compensatory mitigation, (b) should be an improve management system for actively corresponding to special knowledge relating to environment, and lastly, (c) should be a system which consider a class action introduced in environmental regime for a long term protection of tidal wetlands for future generation.

A closed flux chamber system was used for measuring major greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from tideland and/or wetland soils in estuarine area at Saemankum, Kunsan in southwestern Korea during from months of February to June 2006. Hourly averaged GHG soil emissions were measured two to three times a day during the ebb tide hours only. Site soils were analyzed for soil parameters (temperature, pH, total organic contents, N and C contents in soil) in the laboratory. Soil GHG fluxes were calculated based on the GHG concentration rate of change measured inside a closed chamber The analysis of GHG was conducted by using a Gas Chromatography (equipped with ECD/FID) at laboratory. Changes of daily, monthly GHGs' fluxes were examined. The relationships between the GHG emissions and soil chemical contents were also scrutinized with respect to gas production and consumption mechanism in the soil. Soil pH was pH $7.47{\pm}0.49$ in average over the experimental period. Organic matter contents in sample soil was $6.64{\pm}4.98\;g/kg$, and it shows relatively lower contents than those in agricultural soils in Kunsan area. Resulting from the soil chemistry data, soil nitrogen contents seem to affect GHG emission from the tidal land surface. The tidal soil was found to be either source or sink for the major GHG during the experimental periods. The annual average of $CH_{4}\;and\;CO_{2}$ fluxes were $0.13{\pm}0.86\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}\;and\;5.83{\pm}138.73\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, respectively, which will be as a source of these gases. However, $N_{2}O$ emission showed in negative flux, and the value was $-0.02{\pm}0.66\;mg\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$, and it implies tidal land surface act as a sink of $N_{2}O$. Over the experimental period, the absolute values of gas fluxes increased with soil temperature in general. Averages of the ambient gas concentration were $86.8{\pm}6.\;ppm$ in $CO_{2},\;1.63{\pm}0.34\;ppm\;in\;CH_{4},\;and\;0.59{\pm}0.15\;ppm\;in\;N_{2}O$, respectively. Generally, under the presence of gas emission from agricultural soils, decrease of gas emission will be observed as increase in ambient gas concentration. We, however, could not found significant correlation between the ambient concentrations and their emissions over the experimental period. There was no GHG compensation points existed in tide flat soil.

In this study, the impacts of local meteorology caused by tidal changes in the West Sea on ozone distributions in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) were analyzed using a meteorological model (WRF) and an air quality (CMAQ) model. This study was carried out during the day (1200-1800 LST) between August 3 and 9, 2016. The total area of tidal flats along with the tidal changes was calculated to be approximately $912km^2$, based on data provided by the Environmental Geographic Information Service (EGIS) and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF). Modeling was carried out based on three experiments, and the land cover of the tidal flats for each experiment was designed using the coastal wetlands, water bodies (i.e., high tide), and the barren or sparsely vegetated areas (i.e., low tide). The land cover parameters of the coastal wetlands used in this study were improved in the herbaceous wetland of the WRF using updated albedo, roughness length, and soil heat capacity. The results showed that the land cover variation during high tide caused a decrease in temperature (maximum $4.5^{\circ}C$) and planetary boundary layer (PBL) height (maximum 1200 m), and an increase in humidity (maximum 25%) and wind speed (maximum $1.5ms^{-1}$). These meteorological changes increased the ozone concentration (about 5.0 ppb) in the coastal areas including the tidal flats. The increase in the ozone concentration during high tide may be caused by a weak diffusion to the upper layer due to a decrease in the PBL height. The changes in the meteorological variables and ozone concentration during low tide were lesser than those occurring during high tide. This study suggests that the meteorological variations caused by tidal changes have a meaningful effect on the ozone concentration in the SMA.

조간대 지역의 고해상 지형도는 해수 운동에 의한 퇴적 및 침식량의 변화와 같이 과학적인 연구의 기초자료로 쓰일 뿐만 아니라 연안 습지의 실제적인 관리 및 환경변화 모니터링의 도구로서도 그 활용의 가치가 높다. 그러나 조간대는 하상 퇴적물의 유입과 조석현상에 의해 빠르게 변화하고 있어 원격탐사와 같이 단기간에 넓은 지역을 조사할 수 있는 기술의 적용이 필요하다. 레이더 간섭기술은 가장 보편적이면서 성공적인 고해상 지형도 작성 기술로 알려져 있으나, 조간대에서는 지표노출시간의 제약 및 빠른 상태변화로 인해 일반적인 repeat-pass 간섭기술로는 충분한 긴밀도를 얻기 힘들다. 이 연구에서는 재방문주기가 짧은 Cosmo-SkyMed 1일 간격 관측자료와 ERS2-ENVISAT 30분 간격 관측자료를 이용하여 레이더 간섭기술을 이용한 조간대 지형도 작성을 실험하였다. 두 자료 모두 긴 수직기선으로 인한 높은 고도민감도와 짧은 관측주기로 인한 높은 긴밀도로 간섭위상을 구할 수 있었으나, Cosmo-SkyMed 관측자료에서는 대기에 의한 위상지연 효과와 조석에 의한 조간대 표층의 함수율 변화로 인하여 조간대와 같이 평평한 지역의 지형정보를 추출하는데에 어려움이 발생한다. 반면에 ERS2-ENVISAT 관측자료는 이종센서간의 관측중심주파수 차이를 상쇄하기 위해 설정된 긴 수직기선 덕분에 매우 높은 고도민감도를 가지며, 30분이라는 짧은 관측주기는 간섭쌍을 이루는 두 영상에 포함된 대기지연효과를 대부분 상쇄시키므로 조간대의 지형도 작성에 이상적인 자료로 판단된다.

The resources conservation system is comprehended, making Taean-haean National Park a research material by applying the fact of landowning, designating an LOP and Korea and Japan's Natural Park Act. Following conclusions were obtained in this study; Most of land areas of the National Park are privately owned; Only a few have been designated as Natural Reservation, a core reserved area on LOP, and a sandy beach, a sand dune, a sand spit, a tidal flat, a wetland, etc are distributed in the natural environment area so they were exposed to development; As seen in most of coastal type of National Parks, 13 commercial beaches are established. The annual rush to the beaches appears in July and August; Sand dune areas that have to be managed in terms of conservation, are turned into beaches. Moreover, the collective facilities areas are randomly developed. So they fail to function originally; The current Natural Park Act has no systematic devices for conservation of the natural resources on the seashore or offshore.

During a project aiming to comprehensively investigate indigenous prokaryotic species in Korea, a total of 20 bacterial strains phylogenetically belonging to the the class Bacilli of the phylum Firmicutes were isolated from various environmental sources such as soil, air, tidal flat, sea water, grain, wetland, breast milk and healthy human urine. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that 20 bacterial strains showed the high sequence similarities (≥98.7%) to the closest type strains and formed robust phylogenetic clades with closely related species of validly published names in the class Bacilli of the phylum Firmicutes. In the present study, we report 20 species of 13 genera of seven families of two orders of one class in the phylum Firmicutes, which have not been previously reported in Korea. Morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics, isolation sources, and NIBR deposit numbers of these unrecorded bacterial species are described in the species descriptions.
