The 14th Shinan International Migratory Bird Symposium, held at the Ramada Hotel on Jaeundo Island on November 28th, was successfully concluded with the participation of approximately 150 people, including overseas researchers.
The theme of this symposium was "Renewable Energy Management for Migratory Bird Habitat Conservation and Coexistence (Subtitle: Coexistence of Nature and Technology)."
The symposium provided a forum to collectively consider how Shinan County, a key hub of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), should strike a balance between offshore wind power development and ecological conservation.
Part 1 Presentations
In Part 1, various experts shared diverse cases from Shinan and the international community.
Dr. Kim Young-nam (Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation) discussed migratory bird monitoring and marine protected area management.
Dr. Chung Huang-hung (National Taiwan University) presented on the impact of offshore wind power generation in Taiwan on seabird diversity.
Dr. Lee Hu-seung (Korea Environment Institute) spoke about a proactive management system for harmonizing offshore wind power and migratory bird habitats.
Practical discussions ensued on how to resolve potential conflicts between migratory bird protection and wind power development.
Part 2 Presentations
Part 2 featured overseas research and stories from the Shinan field.
Dr. Jean-Baptiste Thiebot (Hokkaido University, Japan) discussed the migratory routes of Japanese migratory birds and concerns about wind power generation.
Dr. Bing Ki-chang (Chonnam National University) introduced the current status of bird habitats in Shinan and the potential for ecotourism.
Dr. Yang Seung-bin (CEO of Reef) shared research results on how coastal energy development affects the avian ecosystem.
These presentations provided concrete insights into how Shinan County can pursue ecological conservation and energy development together in the future.
Kim Dae-in, Acting Mayor of Shinan County, stated, "Shinan County has consistently strived to protect migratory birds and their habitats as a key hub of the EAAF."
He added that the county will continue to cooperate with the international community to further strengthen marine ecosystem conservation and research.
Shinan County plans to focus on:
✔️ Strengthening the migratory bird monitoring system
✔️ Habitat restoration and management
✔️ Developing a biodiversity conservation strategy necessary for offshore wind power environmental impact assessments.
Based on these efforts, the county aims to reduce unnecessary conflicts in the environmental impact assessment process.
Increase the predictability of project implementation.
And create a model that can simultaneously achieve ecological conservation and offshore wind power development.
✨ In conclusion
This international migratory bird symposium was a crucial stepping stone for Shinan County in moving towards 'coexistence of ecological conservation and renewable energy development.'
Shinan County plans to further expand cooperation with research institutions, overseas experts, and offshore wind power companies.
To build a sustainable ecological environment and future energy development for the region together.
