Suncheon Bay is a coastal wetland in Suncheon, South Jeolla Province, South Korea. It is composed of a 3.5 km (2.2 mi) long stream, a 2,221 ha (5,490 acres) wide tideland and a 230 ha (570 acres) wide field of reeds. Due to its natural coast, it is the habitat of migratory birds, plants and animals. It is the first Korean coastal wetland, Suncheon Bay Ecological Park, to be registered on the list of The Ramsar Wetland on January 20, 2006.
Characteristics
Suncheon Bay's wide tideland, field of reeds, and salt swamp have their natural scenes undamaged. The salt swamp functions in water pollution prevention and purification, keeping Suncheon Bay clean and undamaged. The shallow tideland at the river mouth has reasonable salt content, abundant organisms, and healthy water quality. These characteristics make Suncheon Bay a spawning ground for fish, crabs, shellfish, etc.
