Roh Kwan-Kyu(Mayor: Suncheon City)

I am very glad to meet netizen.

Welcome...

Suncheon Bay is rapidly gaining international recognition as a natural eco-system and protected wetland on the Korean peninsula.

In December 2000 The Korean Marine Fisheries Department declared Suncheon Bay a wetland preservation area, and in 2004 it had the Bay added to the International Network for Preserving Hooded Crane. On January 20, 2006 it was Korea's first domestic coastal wetland to be registered with the RAMSAR Convention.

Suncheon Bay is outstanding for its display of dense reeds, its provision of habitat to a variety bird species (local as well as migratory) and its tidal setting. The natural "S" shape of the Bay is one of Korea's best settings for sunset photography.

In July 2000 the Korean South-Sea Tourism-Belt-Development-Project gave the go-ahead for a natural ecological park to be developed at Suncheon Bay. In November 2004 this park opened its doors to the public.

I personally invite you to experience Suncheon Bay as a place of unique nature and beauty.

thank you Mayor: Suncheon City, Roh Kwan-Kyu
