Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats, a UNESCO World Heritage site in South Korea, recognized in 2021, are expansive coastal wetlands along the Yellow Sea, celebrated for their ecological richness and geological significance. Formed by tidal cycles, these mudflats in Seocheon, Gochang, Shinan, and Boseong host diverse species like migratory birds and rare benthic organisms, thriving in a dynamic intertidal zone. A vital stopover on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, they highlight Korea’s natural heritage and the intricate balance of marine biodiversity and sediment processes in a globally unique ecosystem.
