South Korea Seeks UNESCO World Heritage Expansion For 'Getbol' Tidal Flats

Foreign journalists and local residents stand on the deck of a ferry to observe the surrounding coastal landscape while traveling to Yeojado Island in Yeosu, South Korea, on May 29, 2026. The tour highlights key tidal-flat ecosystems along the country’s southwestern coast, including Suncheon Bay, Yeojaman Bay, and the Jukam-ri tidal flats in Goheung, which are being considered for the second-phase expansion of the UNESCO World Heritage property “Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats.” Yeojado Island, located at the center of Yeojaman Bay, offers a vantage point overlooking interconnected tidal flats across Boseong, Suncheon, Yeosu, and Goheung, illustrating the ecological continuity and integrity that underpin the proposed nomination.
