Marine national park maintains the functions of marine ecosystem acting its role as spawning place and stable home for sea life species. Lately, importance of the sea is receiving more emphasis because of climate change, coastal inundation, sea contamination and human artificial disturbances including excessive seizure and collection of marine life. This study analyzed the values and roles of marine ecosystem, present condition of major countries’ marine national parks, and international movements about marine reserves. This study also analyzed marine national park conservation system (special use district, behavioral restriction, strategic target, monitoring program, etc.) and ecosystem service (oceanic function, ecotourism, regional cooperation, education, residents’ income, Germany and Korea’s perspective of the sea, etc.) in Australia, Germany, Brazil, etc. as a model case. Then, it presented spheres applicable to our country’s marine national park (special use district, strategic agenda, acceptable behavior, ecotourism, regional cooperation, visitor center’s function, connection of southwestern coast axis for marine ecology, etc.) and future strategic agendas to implement this.
