서산시, '가로림만 국가해양생태공원' 신속 추진 촉구‘가로림만 국가해양생태공원 신속 추진 촉구 공동 건의문’ 해수부에 전달
서산시에 따르면 서산시는 지난달 28일 충남시장군수협의회에서 이완섭 서산시장의 제안으로 채택된 ‘가로림만 국가해양생태공원 조성사업 신속 추진 촉구’ 공동건의문을 해양수산부 해양생태과장에게 전달했다.
서산시는 이날 공동건의문을 전달 하면서 김태흠 충남도지사와 15개 시장‧군수의 서명이 담긴 건의문과 함께 가로림만 국가해양생태공원 조성사업에 대한 염원이 담긴 이완섭 서산시장의 친서를 전달했다.
공동건의문을 전달받은 해양수산부 해양생태과장은 가로림만의 해양생태계 가치와 보전 필요성에 공감하며, 가로림만이 1호 국가해양생태공원으로 조성될 수 있도록 적극 추진해 나갈 계획이라고 밝혔다고 서산시가 전했다.
가로림만 국가해양생태공원 조성사업은 국내 최초‧최대 해양생물보호구역으로 지정된 가로림만에 환경가치를 보전하고 지역발전을 동시에 실현할 수 있는 해양생태 관광거점을 조성하는 사업으로, 윤석열 대통령과 김태흠 충남도지사의 공약사항으로 현재 예비타당성 조사를 진행하고 있으며, 올해 말에 최종 결과가 발표될 예정이다.
지난해 해양생태계법 개정으로 가로림만이 국가해양생태공원으로 조성될 수 있는 법적 근거가 마련됐다.
서산시는 해양수산부를 시작으로, 대통령실, 국회, 기재부, 한국개발연구원(KDI) 등 관련기관에 공동건의문을 전달할 계획이라고 밝혔다.
한편 이완섭 서산시장은 친서를 통해 “가로림만이 대한민국의 바덴해가 되고 전 세계인이 발걸음이 닿는 미래가 될 것”이라며 “후손들이 아름답게 살아갈 대한민국을 위해 함께 힘을 모아주시길 바랍니다”라고 전했다.

‘Joint proposal urging rapid promotion of Garorim Bay National Marine Ecological Park’ delivered to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries
Seosan City, South Chungcheong Province, which is promoting the Garorim Bay National Marine Ecological Park, announced on the 7th that it delivered a joint statement to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries urging the rapid promotion of the Garorim Bay National Marine Ecological Park construction project, which is the wish of 180,000 Seosan citizens and 2.2 million South Chungcheong residents.
According to Seosan City, on the 28th of last month, Seosan City delivered a joint statement to the head of the Marine Ecology Department of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to urge the rapid promotion of the Garorim Bay National Marine Ecological Park construction project, which was adopted at the suggestion of Seosan Mayor Lee Wan-seop at the Chungnam Mayors and County Council on the 28th of last month.
Seosan City delivered a joint proposal on this day, along with a proposal signed by South Chungcheong Province Governor Kim Tae-heum and 15 mayors and governors, as well as a personal letter from Seosan Mayor Lee Wan-seop expressing his wishes for the Garorim Bay National Marine Ecological Park creation project.
Seosan City reported that the head of the Marine Ecology Division of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, who received the joint statement, sympathized with the value and need for conservation of the marine ecosystem of Garorim Bay and said that they plan to actively promote Garorim Bay to be established as the first national marine ecological park.
The Garorim Bay National Marine Ecological Park construction project is a project to create a marine ecological tourism base that can preserve environmental values and realize regional development at the same time in Garorim Bay, which has been designated as Korea's first and largest marine life protection area. It is a pledge of President Yoon Seok-yeol and South Chungcheong Province Governor Kim Tae-heum. A preliminary feasibility study is currently underway, and the final results will be announced at the end of this year.
With the revision of the Marine Ecosystem Act last year, the legal basis for Garolim Bay to be created as a national marine ecological park was established.
Seosan City announced that it plans to deliver a joint statement to related organizations, starting with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, the Office of the President, the National Assembly, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, and the Korea Development Institute (KDI).
Meanwhile, Mayor Lee Wan-seop of Seosan said in a personal letter, “Garolim Bay will become Korea’s Wadden Sea and a future where people from all over the world can reach each other,” and added, “I hope that we will work together for a Republic of Korea where our descendants will live beautifully.” <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스대전충청 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
