Open Inland Water and Waterways

Dae-Min Kim

    The Korean freshwater rivers, lakes, ponds, and rice paddies provide habitat, food, and playground for various wildlife.     The watersides are often lined by diverse and nutrient-rich communities. Careful observers of these seemingly monotonous landscapes are rewarded with several hundreds species of showy wildflowers, tiny insects, worms, and an equally impressive list of birds, aquatic plants, shellfishes and freshwater fishes. Lots of colorful pictures are waiting for you! (Click the links below)
