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

Professor Jang Tae-soo of Chonnam National University speaks to visiting journalists about the ecological and geographical characteristics of Yeojaman Bay on Yeojado Island in Yeosu, South Korea, on May 29, 2026. The semi-enclosed bay connects tidal-flat ecosystems across Boseong, Suncheon, Yeosu, and Goheung, supporting migratory birds and diverse coastal habitats. The area is being highlighted as a key component of the proposed second-phase expansion of the UNESCO World Heritage property "Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats," aimed at strengthening the site's ecological integrity and extending its Outstanding Universal Value across South Korea's southwestern coast.
