In the past, people thought that Korea's tidal flats were of no use. But the tidal flats play a huge role in our lives, in the health of the earth, and in the lives of various organisms. We gain various types of seafood from the tidal flats, like octopus, crab, and shellfish. The tidal flats are also home to many endangered species of birds, like storks. They also provide a habitat for many rare species. What's more, the tidal flats are said to filter out pollutants.
Korea's tidal flats have been recognized for their importance in preserving biodiversity on earth. For this, they have been inscribed as a world natural heritage site by UNESCO. It is up to us preserve these tidal flats as best we can in the future.
