Abstract: The Yellow Sea, a vital yet highly vulnerable marine region, faces significant environmental threats primarily due to human activities such as industrial discharge, coastal reclamation, and pollution. In response to these challenges, the Incheon Environmental Corporation, ECOI, operates eleven sewage treatment facilities employing advanced technologies to mitigate these effects by effectively treating and removing pollutants like total nitrogen (T-N) and total phosphorus (T-P). In an effort to further strengthen marine ecosystem restoration and pollution control, the YES Initiative has been established, advocating a collaborative governance model that includes a diverse array of stakeholders.
