Recordist's notes

Saemangeum Area was formally a large wetland that supported many types of migratory and other birds. Roading has reached out over the sea and connected these small islands to the Korean mainland. The area is being heavily industrialized, and much construction can be heard in the distance as this Houhokekyo makes communication calls.
