韩国滩涂

该遗产地位于黄海东部的韩国西南和南部海岸，由舒川、高敞、新安和宝城-顺天4处滩涂构成。这里呈现出地质、海洋与气候条件的复杂组合，形成了多样化的海岸沉积体系。每处滩涂代表4种滩涂亚型（河口型、开放港湾型、群岛型和半封闭型）之一。遗产地拥有高度的生物多样性，据统计有2150种动植物，包括22种全球濒危或近危物种。除了为118种候鸟提供重要的栖息地外，它还是47种特有和5种濒危海洋无脊椎动物的家园。当地特有动物群包括长蛸和沉积物摄食生物，如日本大眼蟹、清白招潮蟹、刚毛重、痕掌沙蟹、托氏昌螺，以及多种悬浮物摄食生物，如蛤蜊。该项目展示了地质多样性和生物多样性之间的联系，并证明了文化多样性和人类活动对自然环境的依赖性。

Situated in the eastern Yellow Sea on the southwestern and southern coast of the Republic of Korea, the site comprises four component parts: Seocheon Getbol, Gochang Getbol, Shinan Getbol and Boseong-Suncheon Getbol. The site exhibits a complex combination of geological, oceanographic and climatologic conditions that have led to the development of coastal diverse sedimentary systems. Each component represents one of four tidal flat subtypes (estuarine type, open embayed type, archipelago type and semi-enclosed type). The site hosts high levels of biodiversity, with reports of 2,150 species of flora and fauna, including 22 globally threatened or near-threatened species. It is home to 47 endemic and five endangered marine invertebrate species besides a total of 118 migratory bird species for which the site provides critical habitats. Endemic fauna includes Mud Octopuses (Octopus minor), and deposit feeders like Japanese Mud Crabs (Macrophthalmus japonica), Fiddler Crabs (Uca lactea), and Polychaetes (bristle worms), Stimpson’s Ghost Crabs (Ocypode stimpsoni), Yellow Sea Sand Snails (Umbonium thomasi), , as well as various suspension feeders like clams. The site demonstrates the link between geodiversity and biodiversity, and demonstrates the dependence of cultural diversity and human activity on the natural environment.
