[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) is conducting a sea hibiscus restoration project with residents to create a beautiful sea hibiscus colony in the Muan Nakji Park area of Mangun-myeon.

According to the county on the 4th, village residents have long planted and cared for Korean red pines around Nakji Park, resulting in colonies of sea hibiscus and white lotus plants in the area.

Perhaps for this reason, there have been continuous requests from residents wishing to restore sea hibiscus and white lotus plants to evoke the nostalgia of the past.

Therefore, the county decided to promote a sea hibiscus restoration project covering an area of 2 hectares in cooperation with residents, and on the 29th of last month, 757 sea hibiscus plants were planted with residents participating.

Next year, 8,000 sea hibiscus plants and white lotus plants will be planted, and this will be linked to the local eco-tourism industry to generate income for residents.

Additionally, as part of next year’s project, a 5-hectare Korean red pine forest in Muan Nakji Park has been selected as a target site for ecological restoration of island forests on the southwestern coast, with a total investment of 500 million won (including national and provincial funds) to carry out the project, and subtropical forest species will be planted in damaged areas.
