충남 서산시가 천수만을 찾는 철새들의 먹이와 쉼터 확보를 위해 대규모 생태계서비스 지불제 사업에 나섰다. 시는 올해 ‘2025년 생태계서비스 지불제 계약사업’에 총 348명의 농업인이 참여하는 계약을 체결하고 오는 2026년 3월 10일까지 사업을 추진한다고 17일 밝혔다.
이번 사업은 천수만 A·B지구 간척 농지를 대상으로 진행되며, 철새의 안정적인 서식 환경을 마련하기 위해 볏짚 존치 또는 무논(쉼터) 조성 방식으로 운영된다.
계약 면적은 볏짚 존치가 1,779필지, 약 1,926ha 규모이며, 무논 조성은 119필지, 약 149ha에 달한다. 볏짚 존치 참여 농업인은 벼 수확 후 철새가 먹을 수 있도록 낙곡 등 일부 작물을 남겨 둬야 하며, 중간 수거 등 철새의 먹이 환경을 해치는 행위는 금지된다. 무논 조성 농업인은 수심 30cm 이내의 담수를 사업 종료 시까지 유지해야 한다.
시는 사업의 실효성을 담보하기 위해 현장 점검을 수시로 실시하고, 이행이 불성실한 경우 지급된 계약금을 환수하는 한편 향후 사업 참여도 제한할 방침이다.
서산시는 이번 사업을 통해 천수만 일대가 국내 대표적인 철새 도래지로서의 위상을 유지하고, 농업과 생태환경이 조화를 이루는 지속 가능한 농촌 모델을 구축할 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다.

The four standing committees—the Administrative and Autonomous Affairs Committee, the Welfare and Environment Committee, the Industry and Construction Committee, and the Education Committee—reviewed ordinances and motions, adopted the administrative audit plan for next year, and continued their legislative activities through hearing reports and conducting field visits.
In addition to the chairpersons presiding over the meetings, numerous council members addressed pending issues in their respective fields and urged improvement measures.
Key comments from the Administrative and Autonomous Affairs Committee included: Objective data on the achievements of regulatory reform and calls for institutional improvements; the need to review the compensation systems and operational performance of privately contracted facilities; proposals to ensure administrative reliability by clarifying regulatory review terminology and ordinance language; and requests for performance and personnel management reviews and data submissions from government-funded organizations in the culture, arts, and content industries.
Furthermore, the Welfare and Environment Committee emphasized the need to improve the management and convenience of key facilities such as the Daejeon Gapcheon Ecological Lake Park and Hanbat Arboretum. The committee also addressed the need for strengthened support policies for people with mental illness and the operating deficit of the Daejeon Public Children's Rehabilitation Hospital, requesting national funding. The committee also raised the need for on-site response and budgetary inclusion to address operational challenges facing welfare facilities.

They emphasized the need for proactive preparation and securing national funding for the railway communication frequency transition. They also requested enhanced training for city bus monitors and improved management of operational evaluation indicators. They also discussed the need to secure transportation conditions and connectivity during the relocation of the new Daedeok District Office building and the development of urban regeneration innovation zones.
The Education Committee focused on expanding applications for and use of lifelong education vouchers, strengthening supervision and oversight of privately commissioned institutions such as the Youth Sexual Culture Center and the Daecheong Tomorrow Foundation, ensuring fairness in the evaluation of alternative education institutions, and managing and expanding scholarship funds. They also addressed safety measures for commuting to and from school and overcrowding for students with special needs at the newly established Seonam School.
