Description

The Mokpo Namhang Urban Wetland is the largest remaining relict area of inter tidal wetland in the highly modified Yeongsan Estuary, located in Mokpo City, Jeollanam Province. While much of the 50 ha site itself is also highly modified (including two areas impounded by seawalls) it still has multiple values, including for biodiversity (especially birds – with two globally threatened species recorded to date), for environmental education and for recreation.
