To detect naturally occurring antimutagenic substances from unused marine resources, the screening for the antimutagenic compounds containing in various solvent extracts of eight unused marine resources by modified Ames test was carried out. The tested unused marine resources were Asterina pectinifera, Halocynthia roretzi skin, Nototodarus sloani ink, Anthocidaris crassispina skin, Sargassum horneri, Agarum cribrosum, Odonthalia corymbifera and Desmarestia ligulata. The ether extracts of Halocynthia roretzi skin showed the only antimutagenic effect among several solvent extracts of tested samples. The effect increased with increasing concentration of the ether extracted ones.

To detect naturally occurring antioxidative components from unused marine resources, the screening test for the antioxidants containing in starfish, ascidian skin, cuttlefish ink, echinoid skin, Sargassum horneri, Agarum cribrosum, Odonthalia corymbifera and Desmarestia ligulata was carried out. The ether, acetone and methanol fractions successively extracted from Odonthalia corymbifera were very effective on prevention of the nonenzymatic lipid oxidation and their $IC_{50}$, (a concentration to inhibit 50% of control lipid oxidation rate) were $30,\;100\;and\;200{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The water and methanol extracts obtained from cuttlefish ink also revealed strong antioxidant effect and their $IC_{50}$, were $390,\;100{\mu}g/ml$, respectively.

To detect naturally occurring bioactive compounds in unused marine resources such as marine by-products and algae, the screening test for the antimicrobial compounds containing in Asterina pectinifera, Halocynthia rotetzi skin, Nototodarus sloani ink. Anthocidaris crassispina skin, and four algae(Sargassum horneri, Agarum cribrosum, Odonthalia corymbifera and Desmarestia ligulata) was carried out. The minimum inhibitory concentrations(MIC, ${\mu}g/disk$) of ether and methanol fractions extracted from Sargassum horneri against Bacillus subtilis were 80 and 70 ${\mu}g/disk$, respectively. The MICs of the ether, acetone and methanol fractions extracted from Sargassum horneri against Staphylococcus aureus were 160, 180 and 70 ${\mu}g/disk$, respectively. In addition, the MICs of ether and acetone fractions extracted from Odonthalia corymbifera against Staphylococcus aureus were 50 and 170 ${\mu}g/disk$, respectively. These nonpolar fractions showed the strongest antimicrobial effect among several fractions extracted from tested marine resources.

To detect naturally occurring bioactive compounds from unused marine resources, the screening for the 5-lipoxygenase(potato lipoxygenase-II) inhibitors in Asterina pectinifera, Halocynthia roretzi skin, Nototodarus sloani ink, Anthocidaris crassispina skin, Sargassum horneri, Agarum cribrosum, Odonthalia corymbifera and Desmarestia ligulata was carried out. Water, ether, acetone and methanol fractions extracted from Sargassum horneri had strong inhibitory effect on enzymatic lipid oxidation by potato lipoxygenase-II, and their $IC_{50}$ were 320, 18, 9.5 and $100\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ of ether fraction extracted from Asterina pectinifera and acetone fraction extracted from Nototodarus sloani ink were 29.5 and $34.3\;{\mu}g/mL$, and these extracts showed relatively excellent inhibitory activity. Nonpolar solvent (ether, acetone) extracts of tested marine organisms had more inhibitory effect against 5-lipoxygenase than the polar solvent(water) extracts.

To detect bioactive compounds present in unused marine resources, the screening for the 5-lipoxygenase inhitors in Asterina pectinifera, Halocynthia roretzi skin, Nototodarus sloani ink, Anthocidaris crassispina skin, SArgassum horneri, Agarum cribrosum, Odonthalia corymbifera and Desmarestia ligulata was carried out. THe ether and acetone extracts of Sargassum horneri had the strongest antioxygnic activityon lipid oxidation by potato lipoxygenase-1 (one of 5-lipoygenase) among the tested marine samples and their $IC_{50}$ were 0.3 and 1.1g/ml, respectively. The ether and acetone extracts of Asterina pectinifera, the acetone extracts of Halocynthia roretizi, and the acetone extracts of Nototodarus sloani ink had strong inhibitory activity and their $IC_{50}$ were 72.5, 65, 13.3 and $13.3\mu\textrm{g}/ml$, respectively. In addition, the $IC_{50}$ of the acetone extracts of Agarum cribrosum and Desmarestia ligulata, and the ether extracts of Desmarestia ligulata were 15.5, 35 and $30.5\mu\textrm{g}/ml$, respectively. The nonpolar solvent (ether, acetone) extracts of tested marine organism had more antioxigenic effect against 5-lipoxygenase than the polar solvent(water) extracts.

BACKGROUND: Marine algae is a productive organism that is consumed as a nutritious food. However, large amounts of unused portions of the algae are incinerated as trash or dumped in the sea, causing pollution. Recycling algae is important for saving resources and conserving the environment. In this study, the fucoidan which is a major carbohydrate of marine algae was tested as a source of fertilizer for farming. METHODS AND RESULTS: The growth rate of the melon was examined after treating fucoidan and the melon growth factors, weight and length of stem were measured. To discover the mechanism of melon growth promotion of fucoidan, bacteria that decomposed fucoidan were isolated from soil and abalone. Bacillus wiedmannii and Stenotrophomonas pavanii were isolated from terrestrial soil and Pseudomonas sp. was isolated from abalone. Among these three bacteria, Pseudomonas sp. had the highest and most specific fucoidan-decomposing activity. When Pseudomonas sp. was treated with fucoidan on melon-growing soil, the growth of melon was relatively improved compared to the treatment with fucoidan alone. CONCLUSION: We found that fucoidan, the main carbohydrate of marine algae, promoted melon growth. Fucoidan-decomposing microorganisms were isolated from terrestrial soil and marine organism, and we found that these bacteria stimulated the effect of melon growth promotion of marine algae. This is the first report that confirms the fertilizer effect of marine algae and shows the use of bacteria with marine algae.

The fishing port was once the foothold of production as well as the stronghold of communities but with the declining of the fishing industry, ports became abandoned space. Jeju Special Self-Governing Province has continued its effort to vitalize marine tourism since 2010. Shinyang Port in particular is designated as a Prearranged Marina Port Development Zone, and planning for the Jeju Ocean Marina City project is underway. Nevertheless, fishing port remodeling projects implemented on Jeju so far have focused only on civil engineering such as renovating old facilities. In addition, most Marina Port Development Projects have been irrelevant to local communities. Leading projects by the local government mostly suffer from a lack of funding, which results in the renovation of old facilities and improper maintenance, while private sector investment projects do not lead to benefit sharing with the community. Shinyang Port, also renovated in 2008, ended up with outer breakwater extension construction that neither solved the fundamental problem of the site nor gave benefits to residents. To arrange a way to solve problems for civil engineering focused development project, improper maintenance, and benefit sharing with community, first, this study proposes a development plan that connects with the outlying areas near the ports. The plan reflects existing topography, Jeju traditional stonewalls, narrow paths on the master plan and programs by reading the regional context. In this way, this paper suggests a space development plan reflecting the local landscape and characteristic factors. Second, it satisfies various needs by using existing and new Marine Tourism Resources. Third, it examines sustainable operation and management measures through residents' participation. The proposal is significant in two key ways: it is a fresh attempt at connecting the fishing port with its outlying areas from a landscape perspective; and it considers environmental, social, economic issues, and suggests participation for local communities. Thus, the model can be used in future fishing-port remodeling plans for revitalizing unused space, including invaluable traditional landscapes, and for boosting the marine-leisure industry.
