Abstract

Saemangeum, which means new fertile soil, lies beyond the Gimje Plain in Mangyeong, Jeollabuk-do in South Korea, and is famous as a granary, and was named when the reclamation project was planned. The large-scale national reclamation project began in 1991 to develop 40,100 ha of land by constructing a 33-km tide embankment in a large area stretching from Gunsan, Gimje to Buan in Jeollabuk-do.
