Project

Proposed

The Saemangeum New Airport Project aims to construct an airport near South Korea's west coast, which scientists warn could lead to significant biodiversity loss, particularly affecting migratory birds in the Sura tidal flat area. This region is crucial for the migration of numerous shorebird species and is the last remaining tidal flat in the Saemangeum estuary.
