Creative technologies and digital tools are central to expanding awareness and strengthening protection of Jeju's coastal environment.
Innovative Elements
Develop a dedicated app - or integrate with existing platforms - that allows users to log marine plant sightings, report environmental damage, and access educational content about conservation.
Interactive App
1
Introduce a program where individuals or groups can "adopt" a section of marine plant habitat, receiving regular updates on its condition and restoration progress to encourage a personal connection to the ecosystem.
Marine Plant Adoption Program
2
Monitor key water parameters such as pH and temperature around Jeju's coast. Collected data will be publicly accessible through the app to promote transparency and scientific engagement.
Water Quality Tracking System
3
Utilize drone technology to detect illegal dumping or harmful activities along the shoreline. Collaborate with local authorities to take action and offer educational programs to offenders for long-term behavioral change.
Coastal Monitoring and Enforcement
4
Create a freely accessible digital library that provides curated information, articles, research, and visuals about Jeju's coastal ecosystems to support community learning and advocacy.

Engaging Local Fishermen
Work with local fishing communities to highlight the role of marine plants in sustaining healthy fish populations. Collaborate to establish no-fishing zones around ecologically sensitive areas.
Eco-Tourism Collaboration
Partner with Jeju's eco-tourism operators to integrate marine plant education into guided tours, helping visitors understand the coastal ecosystem's value and fragility.
Policy Advocacy
Encourage local governments to adopt stronger regulations that protect marine plant habitats and limit unsustainable coastal development through petitions and community dialogue.
Public Poster Competition
Organize a student poster contest to creatively raise awareness about the threats facing Jeju's marine environment and inspire action within local schools and families.
Explore Our Activities
To protect Jeju's fragile coastal ecosystem, awareness alone is not enough - we need meaningful engagement. Our activities are designed to connect people with the beauty and urgency of marine conservation through hands-on experiences, creative education, and community-driven action. From school workshops and virtual coast tours to clean-up drives and local storytelling, each program empowers individuals to learn, reflect, and make a difference. Whether you're a student, tourist, or Jeju resident, there's a way for you to be part of this movement.
