해저면 환경조사를 위한 실시간 수중음향장비 구축 및 운용

Abstract

The marine litter is known as a major source of the destruction of the marine ecosystem and its components. In order to understand and solve the problems raised by marine litters, derelict fishing net and ghost fishing, we developed a real-time on-line seabed survey system for deep sea environment. This system consists of a guide frame called Tow-sled, a real-time deep-sea camera and a control unit, underwater acoustic modem units, position tracking devices and etc.. This paper shows the development of the equipment and the result of the sea bed survey experiment in deep sea environment which is performed around Wang-dol-Cho area in East Sea in 2006.
