Role of Incheon Metropolitan City for the development of the coastal region around the Yellow Sea in 21st century
Located at the center of the Yellow Sea
Nearest costal city to Seoul Metropolitan City with population more than 10 million
A coastal city with about 150 islands
Developed as an international city with Incheon International Airport and Song-Do Techno-Park
The marine science and environmental engineering programs at Inha University have been concentrated on the studies for the environments of the Yellow Sea.
Current conditions of coastal area near Incheon
Polluted marine environment and retarded utilization of costal area
Accelerated pollution of marine environment due to the land reclamation of more than 40% of the tidal mud flat along the west coast
Mud flat is another part of national territory with potential as the center of 21st industry
Enforcement of the costal area management law will activate the development of environmental and marine industry.
