Abstract

The eastern coast of Gyeongju has a variety of resource of marine history such as the submerged tomb of King Munmu, Gamunsa Temple, Songdaemal Lighthouse and columnar joints at the beach area. In addition, Gyeongju eastern coast region is remarkable coastal upwelling area in Korea, where subsurface cold water with much nutrient is induced to surface layer due to its bottom topography and wind. This paper explore the multidisciplinary characteristics through the fusion of marine science and marine culture resources in the eastern coast of Gyeongju, and its applications to marin education tourism in Gyeongju. Firstly, it is necessary to focus the value of the Gyeongju eastern coast area as a center for marine territory education of East Sea using the historical resources. Secondly, it is also required to find storytelling that combines with the scientific results such as upwelling, advection of ocean currents toward the Dokdo and variation of sea level. Finally, in order to revitalize marine education tourism of Gyeongju it is necessary to actively connect with neighboring marine resources and Silla culture area.
