A guideline for decision of dispersants use zone was developed at the twelve local sea areas covering the whole Korean sea. In this study, the water depths and damage to sensitive resources were considered as the conditions of the decision of whether or not to use dispersants. According to the conditions of the decision, three kinds of zones were specified as following; 1) dispersants usable zone, 2) dispersants use approvable zone, 3) dispersants use restrictive zone. As the result, dispersants use zone at the twelve local sea areas covering the whole Korean sea are suggested.
