역사적, 문화적, 생태적 가치가 높은 국가 습지보호지역이자, 2021년 람사르습지로 지정된 장항습지는 한강하구 습지보전계획에 따라 관리되고 있다. 장항습지에 대한 국제 협약 습지보전 기준의 반영여부를 검토하기 위해 국가 및 람사르협약 습지전략계획의 세부 항목들을 비교o분석하였다. 분석 결과, 장항습지의 습지보전계획은 국내 및 국제 습지보전전략의 세부 실천과제가 대부분 반영된 것으로 확인되었다. 반면, 장항습지 습지보전계획에 미반영된 항목은 ‘습지 전통지식의 문서화’와 ‘람사르 지역 이니셔티브 활용’ 등으로 확인되었고, 이는 람사르협약에서 중요시되는 항목이다. 따라서 국제 기준을 국내 습지보전계획에 충분히 반영할 수 있도록 습지보전법 개정 또는 지역 자치법규 제정시, 람사르협약 습지전략계획의 실천과 제 이행을 의무화할 필요가 있다.

Janghang Wetland is a national wetland protection area rich in history, culture and ecology and designated as a Ramsar wetland in 2021. It is managed according to the Han River Estuary Wetland Conservation Plan. The detailed items of it's plan were from the Ramsar Convention. They were compared and analyzed to determine whether the practical conservation tasks in Janghang Wetland met international standards. As a result of this analysis, it was confirmed that most of the promotion tasks accurately reflected the detailed action tasks specified by domestic and international wetland conservation strategies. On the
other hand, some items were not reflected in the wetland conservation plan for the Janghang Wetland. The items are identified as ‘documentation of traditional wetland knowledge’ and ‘use of Ramsar regional initiatives’, which are important items in the Ramsar Convention. For domestic wetland conservation to align completely with international standards, it is necessary to mandate the implementation of the practical tasks in the Ramsar Convention when revising the national Wetland Conservation Act or enacting local self-government regulations.
