Restoration Project

Sungkyunkwan University - Udo-myeon

Restoration Objective:

The aim of this study was to Improving Methodologies, technology and methods and Answering Scientific Questions.

Site Selection Criteria:

Sites were selected that had natural kelp beds nearby.

Cause Of Decline:

The barren ground covers an average of 36.4% of rock surfaces on the Korean coasts, with the highest (51.2%) in the East Sea. The causes of this destruction of kelp forests differ between regions, ranging from overgrazing sea urchins and sedimentation to climate change.
