Incheon has held several events focused on promoting the ecological value and conservation of its tidal flats. On October 9, the city hosted the ‘2026 Incheon Marine Protected Area Birdwatching Competition’ at the Songdo Tidal Flat. The event drew approximately 100 participants who recorded 79 different bird species, including endangered black-faced spoonbills and Saunders’s gulls, emphasizing the area’s role as a critical migratory route.

Following this, the ‘2026 Tidal Flat, Treasure of Incheon’ festival was scheduled for October 24 at Songdo Sunrise Park. Organized by the ‘We Green Incheon’ steering committee, the festival includes themed zones for marine life and migratory birds, alongside educational activities such as quiz competitions and exhibitions designed to encourage public understanding of marine ecosystem preservation.
