Conclusion
A European naturalist once said, “Death of an old African man can compare to destruction of a natural history museum in Europe.” Right now, fishing villages and marine culture of Korea is on to the same path. Even the fishermen in their 50s do not possess the complete knowledge of traditional fishing methods and marine cultures. Nowadays, one would have to find people in their 70s to look for someone who has extensive knowledge over disappearing traditional marine culture. Since these memories and experience are not naturally being passed down to the younger generations, like they used in the olden days, it is crucial to collect and record their knowledge and experiences. Studies on fishing gears have to be much more specific and scientific, for their shapes and forms greatly vary upon ‘getbatang’, region, personal tastes, and the creativity of blacksmith who made them. Since it requires the process of organizing the precious knowledge of individual fishermen, marine culture experts have a big role to play. Culture is not simply limited to human life history ( UNESCO, 2008). It is the history of relationship between environment (as well as biological resource), those that live in it, and humanity. For this reason, a motion regarding island biocultural diversity and its traditional ecological knowledge was accepted as IUCN Resolution (IUCN Resolution 5.115) in World Conservation Congress at Jeju in 2012 ( Hong et al., 2013). Moreover, its initiative is starting in international networking in Asia–Pacific regions. Cultures and human use on marine biological resource is important information that should be shared with international network for keeping their sustainable conservation. Concept and philosophy regarding ‘bioculture and its diversity’ ( Maffi, 2001) and its land(sea)scape ( Hong et al., 2014), therefore, are emerging as important issue in both biological diversity and cultural diversity.
