Improvement for Impact Assessment of Marine Physical on the Development of Ports and Fishing Harbors in the East Coast

Abstract: This paper suggested the improvement of marine environmental impact assessment in eastern coast as analyzing consultation on the coastal area utilization for development of ports and fishing harbors for 3years in the east coast The results of survey are only 3cases, 12cases and 16cases each for ocean currents, wave and sounding data However, for development of ports and fishing harbors in eastern coast, ocean characteristics in eastern coast different than in the West Sea, South Sea is considered to marine environmental impact assessment For development of ports and fishing harbors in east coast where the influences of ocean currents, wind-driven current and waves are dominant, the effect of the current should be considered to improve the reproducibility of tidal current The wave should also be considered as an assessment criteria to obtain the validity of project such as harbor tranquility, functionality of breakwaters and stability In addition, sediment inflow in river and exact water depth data of the ocean should be applied to numerical modeling and set wave-induced current to external force of sediment transport to predict the problems such as the harbor siltation and the coastal erosion considering ocean characteristics in the east coast

Characteristics and Reasonable Management Approaches of Coastal Reclamation in Korean

Abstract: This paper analyzes the current status, characteristics, and problems of coastal reclamation in Korea and suggests effective management approaches. Reclamation is concentrated from the West Sea to the South Sea. In the 1980s and 1990s, most projects were intended for agricultural use, whereas in recent years reclamation for industrial and harbour sites(e.g., ship-building) have been increasing. The continuous onslaught of reclamation and development projects threatens the coastal environment, especially tidal flats and fishing areas, and fishery production has been reduced in some areas. The largest tidal flats have been used for dumping sites of dredged coastal sediments, urban development projects, and industrial complex composition. Thus, it is necessary to assess current policy using top-down approaches after establishing appropriate directions and standards for coastal management. Both short-term development profits and long-term conservation should be considered when attempting to balance development and conservation. In addition, improvements of marine environmental impact assessment and in the legal system are necessary.

Assessment and Improvement of Documentation Status on the Statements for the Sea Area Utilization Consultation according to the Project of Ports and Fishery Harbors

Abstract: This study analyzed the 91 cases of the statements for the Sea Area Utilization Consultation according to the developmental projects of ports and fishery harbors for 2012 2014 and the status of the record of document, and suggested the improvement way to go. The marine environmental timpact assessment items both marine chemistry such as water quality, sediment and marine biology such as benthic animal, plankton, and fisheries show highly rate of site survey. But, the utilization of those data through site survey is too low, and it is necessary to adopt the QA/QC for the reliability of survey data. The items of marine physics such as tide, tidal current analyzed based on references not a site survey. However, the simulation performed actively without calibration and verification compared to the result of site survey. When the projects of port and fishery harbor perform, it is necessary to monitor the physical parameter such as wave, tide and tidal current especially. Based on the scale and the type of project, we need introduce the system of scoping for prediagnosis the key assessment items and checklists.

Analysis and Improvement of Marine Fish and Fishery Resources based on the Environmental Impact Assessment Items by Ocean Developmental Project

Abstract: − This paper analyzed the assessment status of fish and fishery resources items include fish egg and larvae to understand marine environmental impact assessment on the Sea Area Utilization Consultation according to the ocean developmental project, last 2 years. The consequence of damages and impacts from the developmental projects such as public waters reclamation and marine sand mining tend to emerge in the fish farms and fishery resources mainly, but in-situ survey and impact assessment related to these items were insufficient compared to other items such as physical, chemical, pelagic and benthic ecosystem factors. In case of fish, fish egg and larvae, not only the information of basic current situation was insufficient, but also the survey time, sampling and control site, as well as methods were inappropriate. In addition, the predictions and reduction measures after construction were very limited, and postmonitoring for actual verification was unreasonable. In order to improve these problems of marine environmental impact assessment and induce a reasonable assessment in the future, improvement of the statement regulations and establishment of information system related to field data based on fishery resources are necessary.
