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

Kang Heung-soon, secretary general of the Yeosu Federation for Environmental Movements, looks through binoculars near Yeojado Island in Yeosu, South Korea, on May 29, 2026. Yeojado, located at the heart of Yeojaman Bay, is considered a key site in the proposed second-phase expansion of the UNESCO World Heritage property “Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats.” The expansion aims to integrate tidal flats in Yeosu and Goheung with existing World Heritage areas in Boseong and Suncheon, enhancing the ecological completeness of the property and extending its Outstanding Universal Value across the southwestern coast.
