Release Event and Experience Program Near Seonbawi Bridge

Hopes for Salmon Resource Recovery and Taehwagang Ecosystem Restoration

The Taehwagang Ecological Center in Ulju-gun, Ulsan, has begun releasing juvenile salmon into the Taehwagang River to restore the river's ecosystem and replenish salmon resources.

The Taehwagang Ecological Center in Ulju-gun announced on the 6th that it will release 470,000 juvenile salmon near the Seonbawi Bridge, close to the center, starting from March 6, 2026.

This release event was joined by Lee Sungul, the mayor of Ulju-gun, Ulju county council members, and children from nearby daycare centers, who all participated in releasing the juvenile salmon together.

In addition, starting with the release demonstration, a special program called "Taehwagang Juvenile Salmon Release Experience," where local residents can participate, will be held until March 7. Only those who have made an online reservation in advance are eligible to take part in the juvenile salmon release experience.

An official from the Taehwagang Ecological Center stated, "We hope that the experience of releasing juvenile salmon, which are directly produced and cultivated at the center, will serve as an opportunity to learn the value of nature and the environment." The official also encouraged active interest and participation not only in the release experience but also in various other programs at the center, such as observing salmon and experiencing the Taehwagang River ecosystem.

Since its opening in 2016, the Taehwagang Ecological Center in Ulju-gun has continuously carried out juvenile salmon release projects to help restore salmon resources and the ecosystem. Salmon have been managed as a "marine ecosystem climate change indicator species" since 2023.
