Following the first picture book, "Would You Like to Come Under the Sea of Dokdo?", the second publication, "Mudflats, Come Visit Our Home!" contains fascinating stories and colorful illustrations in one volume, covering the principles of mudflat formation, the ecosystem of benthic organisms, birds and plants that rely on mudflats, and the tools used by fishermen.

This book was created in collaboration with Bombyut Publishing, planned by Senior Researcher Koo Bon-joo, who has studied mudflats at KIOST for 25 years, and written and illustrated by authors An Mi-ran and Guk Ji-seung. The book is available for purchase at both online and offline bookstores.

Along with the "Science from the Sea" picture books, KIOST has contributed to broadening public understanding of ocean science through the publication of various materials such as the "Ocean Library for Dreaming of the Future" series (50 volumes) and the "Sea Through Science" series (10 volumes).

KIOST plans to continue developing diverse ocean science content to share knowledge about the sea with the public in more engaging ways.
