Outline of Final Research Achievements

Examining documents and materials concerning the implementation process of the Ramsar Convention such as the official documents drafted by the COPs of the Ramsar Convention and the Scientific and Technical Review Panel (STRP), it has been cleared that there is a general understanding for the ecological linkage between wetland adjacent to the coastal area and the marine coastal environment in the implementation process of the Ramsar Convention.
However, on the other hand, it has hardly been discussed if there is both an ecological and institutional linkage between wetland located in inland basin area and marine environment, except for a problem of pollution from basin area to coastal or oceanic area.
It can be considered that such a result has been largely reflected by the gap of knowledge or understanding between scientists studying wetland or inland basin and those studying oceanography, as well as the interpretive problem of the Ramsar Convention.
