摘要
韓國也體悟到海洋垃圾對於沿海生態系的衝擊，所以在2010年2月到2012年3月，兩年期間收集資料發現有18種鳥類，2種哺乳動物，甲殼類和1種共21種受到衝擊。其中包括五個威脅或保護物種江豚的黑面琵鷺，大天鵝，獐，和彩鷸。其中發現不少休閒漁具，所以，休閒漁業活動應該列為優先管理重點。
==>這件研究有趣的地方是利用公民科學的方式蒐集資料，也就是教育推廣大眾參與並回報資訊!
Abstract
Over the last decade, marine debris has become a major factor affecting the coastal ecosystem of Korea. This study compiled information regarding how marine debris impacts wildlife in Korea. Cases of marine debris impacting wildlife were collected from experts of various fields and from local participants through an open access website from February 2010 to March 2012. A total of 21 species were affected by marine debris: 18 species of birds, 2 species of mammals, and 1 species of crustacean. Five threatened or protected species were identified: black-faced spoonbill, finless porpoise, water deer, whooper swan, and greater painted snipe. Recreational fishing gears were the types of debris that most frequently impacted wildlife, especially birds. Black tailed gulls were the most vulnerable species to recreational fishing hooks and lines. Although it was preliminary, this study revealed that recreational fishing activities should be prioritized when managing marine debris in Korea.
