Outline of Final Research Achievements

Based on the results of the project “Field observation on the effect of environmental pollutions on the sediment (suspended/deposited matter) circulation in sea regions around Pusan Newport” which was conducted under the cooperation of the Japan and Korea, it is expected that strong closed water areas are formed after the construction of the port. Hence, the inner part of Yongwon Bay was chosen for conducting the experiment of water/sediment environment restoration. To obtain the effective restoration of sediment environment, required filed experiments were planned and the project of “Restoration of sediment environment in the western part of Yongwon Bay” was established before conducting the field experiments. From 2013, the field experiments were conducted in order to explain the effects and safety of granulated alkaline material-used technology on water environment restoration to Korean government (particularly to Fisheries Agency).
