Suncheon Bay: A sandbank worth preserving.

Nutrient-RICH river and sea deposits form the sandbank that provides a habitat for many kinds of animals and plants.

Sandbanks are considered as some of the most productive eco-systems and up to 20% of earth creatures live on them. For this reason it is of vital importance to preserve Suncheon Bay. The size of this Bay is about 26.4square kilometers and the depth of the highly-refined layers of clay is about 25 meters.

A variety of sand-crab species and shellfish living in the sandbank add to its role as a natural source of water purification.
