The revision of domestic laws is in progress according to the UN Convention on the Law of the Coastal Zone Management . Along with it, the governmental policies related to maritime environmental preservation, especially around coastal zones and public works have been promoted based on enviornment, swiftly changed from the old function-based style. Therefore, this report will point out the important aspects which should be considered whenever there is any project on the coastal zones, suggest and classify projects of reviving the nationwide coastal zones, and show how to planning , check and evaluate the necessary technologies for reviving the coastal zones. This research will track down the coastal zone management method based on the natural enviornment as one of the necessary process to check the coastal zone enviornment for effective operating of the coastal zone management equipment method, starting on August 9, 1999, and report the technologies related with it.

This study documented and diagnosed the status and problems of coastal dredging and offshore disposal of dredged sediments in South Korea to improve assessment procedures for marine environmental impacts and develop effective management systems. A total of $729({\times}10^6)m^3$ of coastal sediment was dredged in the harbors during the period of 2001-2008. Most of dredged sediment was disposed to the land dumping sites whereas ocean disposal accounted for less than 5%. Ocean disposal areas were especially concentrated to the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the southeast of Busan, which is not only an important fishing area for fishermen, but also considered to be spawning and nursery ground for some commercial fish species. To minimize negative impacts of dredging and ocean disposal of coastal sediment on marine ecosystem and potential strife among coastal users, we suggest 1) in development projects involving ocean disposal, it should be mandatory to propose careful reuse plans in the land, and 2) guidelines of environmental assessment and consequence management programs should be developed and implemented.

During the last decade the co - management concept has gained increasing acceptance as a potential way forward to improve fisheries management performance. It has, however, at the same time become increasingly evident that the co - management concept is not clearly defined and means very different things to different people. In this article, we attempt to development of self regulatory management model of coastal fisheries in Korea, and to present a more comprehensive understanding of fisheries co - management and community - based fisheries management and to summarise the experiences with both the positive outcomes and the problems in actual implementation. The Korean style of fisheries co - management system such as a fisheries self - governance ＆ self - management system has been become a way to activate social processes and involve fishers in Korea coastal fisheries management. As results of this study, the policy recommendation to improve the effectiveness of implementation of this system are summarized. For the effective implementation of this system, some of the supplementary developments are needed as fellows. \circled1 establishment of communities on regional basis. \circled2 establishment of communities consist of coastal fishermen. \circled3 establishment of boundary in coastal fishery. \circled4 reinforcement of government indirect support systems

This study examines the efficiency of safety management measures taken in coastal waters to prevent coastal accidents. Recent years have witnessed about 800 cases of large and small coastal accidents in coastal waters annually. On average, these accidents have been responsible for 129 deaths annually, Thus, there is a need for effective preventive measures. Accordingly, the Korea Coast Guard enacted the Coastal Accident Prevention Act in 2014 and has cooperated with related organizations, such as local governments and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, to safely manage coastal waters. However, compared to the rapid increase in human coastal activities, coastal accidents continue to occur due to the lack of a safety mindset among the Korea Coast Guard, a lack of public safety awareness, a lack of safety management facilities, and poor interest from related organizations, among others. This study examines the conditions and problems faced with regard to safety management in coastal waters based on recent coastal accident data, and analyzes foreign coastal waters safety management cases. Various methods to improve the safety management efficiency in coastal waters are proposed, such as enhancing the safety mindset and capabilities of the Korea Coast Guard, strengthening cooperation among related organizations, increasing the role of local governments, expanding and strengthening safety management facilities by applying new technologies, inculcating a culture of maritime safety, and activating private-public collaborative governance.

Since the coastal countries, such as Unite States and other Latin America countries, proclaimed their 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone, these countries have attention to the need to develop effective coastal management and resource conservation But these countries often perceive themselves as being in competition with each other for profitable for the expansion of the vested EEZ. In such a situation, Exclusive Economic Zone expansion can appear as attractive policy tools in a coastal fishing firms in a noncooperative rivalries with pelagic countries, enable them to expand their fishing share and earn more profits. In reality, the coastal countries strategic Exclusive Economic Zone expansion change the initial condition of the game that both countries' fishing firms play. In this case, the coastal countries' fishing, such as South Korea, Japan and others, act as a followers. As result, the coastal countries' welfare is improved because of pelagic countries profit share shifts to the coastal countries profit share. In this paper, we find that coastal countries strategic EEZ expansion policy may not improve the coastal contries welfare if the shifting profits are dominated by the direct lobbying costs and related resource depletion.

In order to preserve beautiful coastal areas landscapes of Jeju Island's the landscape resource, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province is dedicated to protecting the landscape through legal regulations and deliberations. However, the Coastal Landscape of Jeju Island was continuously damaged by due to increased tourist and high development pressure. Based on buildings along the Coastal Road in Aeowal of Jeju Island, this study focused on Management Status of Coastal Areas Landscapes through the Analysis of Building Landscape Elements. As a result, 1) It was effective to limit the use and scale of buildings through legal regulations such as Use zoning. 2) The result of analysis on the physical landscape elements of buildings showed some of the them have the damage values despite passing the review of Architecture Committee. Therefore Landscape Policies required institutional maintenance. 3) As physical landscape Elements of buildings is a minimum quantitation criterion of not less than 1.5 for D/H, or less than a factor of $27^{\circ}$ for angle of elevation and not less than 7.8m for elevation blockage ratio was presented as a criterion for preventing damage to the minimum Coastal Landscape.

In 1999, Wetlands Conservation Act was enacted for the domestic implementation of the Ramsar Convention in Korea. According to the Act, wetlands have been managed by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries(MOF). In the field of coastal wetland of which MOF is in charge, starting with the designation of Muan coastal wetlands as protected area in 2001, there are 12 wetland conservation areas up to $218.96km^2$. Even though there has been rapid growth of protected areas, it is time to give attention to the effective implementation of wetland conservation policies. This study aims to analyze institutional and operational problems related to wetland management and give some recommendations for the improvement of the wetland conservation policy and legal framework.

Integrated Coastal Management(ICM) has been recommended by international organizations and experts as a desirable way of dealing with the current problems of ocean pollution and ocean conservation and dealing with the conflicts among the various users of coastal and ocean resources. As a response, the Korean government legislated Coastal Management Act in 1999. following the Act, local governments were required to make a local integrated coastal management plan(LICMP). Though the LICMPs are made, it is not easy to put LICMP in effect, because the mandates of the Coastal Management Act are not clear and there are conflicts regarding the jurisdiction of the coastal areas among relevant departments of the government and because it is not easy to monitor and supervise the activities along the vast areas of coasts and oceans. The traditional method of Implementing the LICMP was not simply feasible. Community-based approach to the ICM was proposed as an alternative to the traditional method. This study aims to examine and introduce the community-based network of organizations as an alternative form of organization best suited to the integrated coastal management. This study is composed of four major parts. First, it examines the advantages of the network as a form of organization vis-vis the market and the hierarchy. Second, it reviews three well-known cases of integrated coastal management programs - Xiamen ICM program in China, Coastcare in Australia and Atlantic Coastal Action Program in Canada. Third, on the basis of the case study, it proposes principles and guidelines which we need to consider when we introduce the community-based approach to the ICM in Korea. Fourth, this study also reports on the actual networking processes in Yeosu City(the Yeosu Network for the effective implementation of integrated coastal management plan). The networking in Yeosu will serve as a demonstration of networking various stake-holders concerned with the balance between the development and conservation of finite ocean resources.

To meet increasing needs for environmentally sustainable management of coastal area, there has been compelling pressure to establish a cost-effective and long-term coastal water quality (CWQ) monitoring system. A remote CWQ monitoring system, STAMP, has been developed and is in operation along the route between Kyema harbor and Anma Island in the southwestern coastal area of Korea. STAMP uses a PCS phone as a telemetry unit to transmit acquired data for monitoring general water quality parameters, and a routinely operating coastal passenger ship or car ferry. STAMP has various merits of low-cost operations; long-term monitoring with secure instrumentation; and stable real-time telemetry of acquired data with-out the loss and noise. It is expected that the system will serve as a very useful tool in the CWQ managing programs of Korea taking the advantage of many coastal passenger ships in various routes including the ships departing from the coastal industrial cities. The acquired data compiled on suspended surface sediment concentrations (SSSC) will be also valuably helpful in understanding the sediment budget across the routes of the vessel.

Most of marine casualties occur at the coastal sea areas where maritime traffics are heavy and on the coastal regions such as the beaches and breakwaters, etc. where a lot of people visit. Recently, tile risk of casualties along the coasts has been on the increase due to the revitalization of marine leisure activities in Korea. However, the measures to prevent accidents along the coasts have not kept step with increasing rate of the accidents and the safety management system has not been organized. Recent marine casualties were analyzed to propose alternative measures for safety management to minimize marine casualties along the coasts. Comprehensive safety system and networks are necessary to be established and the integration and unification of the relevant authorities in charge should be accomplished in Korea. In rapid response to marine casualties, the search and rescue system should be established for the systematic and effective life-saving operations in Korean coastal areas.
