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

Local residents wash razor clams, cockles, and crabs, along with a "Peolbae" (wooden mud-ski) used for moving through the mudflats, after harvesting them from the tidal flats in Jukam-ri, Goheung-gun, South Korea, on May 29, 2026. The Jukam-ri tidal flats are part of the broader “Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats” ecosystem along South Korea’s southwestern coast, which is being considered for a proposed second-phase expansion of UNESCO World Heritage listing. The area spans Boseong, Suncheon, Yeosu, and Goheung. (Photo by Chris Jung/NurPhoto)
