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

Local residents sit alongside the captain in the wheelhouse of a ferry bound for Yeojado Island in Yeosu, South Korea, on May 29, 2026. Residents and journalists share the navigation space with the captain during the journey. The tour highlights key tidal-flat ecosystems along South Korea’s southwestern coast, including Suncheon Bay, Yeojaman Bay, and the Jukam-ri tidal flats in Goheung, which are being considered for a proposed second-phase expansion of the UNESCO World Heritage property “Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats.” From Yeojado Island, tidal flats across Boseong, Suncheon, Yeosu, and Goheung are visible.
