swampy land

'a swamp' is the transition region between land and sea. Suncheon Bay

The swampy land frequently called 'a swamp' is the transition region between land and sea.

It is also called 'the swirl of life' and 'the lungs of earth'. The reason is that many life things live in it.

The swampy land of Suncheon bay expands into the downstream area which Dong-cheon and Isa-cheon meet. They supplies the components of swampy land. Now the speed of a current in them is rising by the increasing slope of them.

The swampy land extends to the distant downstream. The swampy land is the unique salt land left in Korea and worthy to be preserved in view of natural ecology.

Having the group of reedveds and Suaeda japonica, this area is also the main habitat for the migratory birds. The beautiful sight of the area charms the tourists ito visiting the swampy land.
