Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats

Natural SiteWorld Heritage Site

World Heritage site in South Korea

Getbol (Korean: 갯벌) are mudflats, or tidal flats, coastal sedimentary systems. They are important habitats for different types of organisms, including migrating birds and marine fauna such as clams, crabs, octopuses, and snails. In 2021, four getbol sites in South Korea were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to their outstanding natural properties, with an extension in 2026 resulting in the listing of six sites in total. Each of these sites represent a different type of getbol.
