Popis: In June and September of 2009, a total of 11,590 individuals (sum of maximum individuals by each species) of 68 species of 31 families and 12 orders were found in the southern coast of Ganghwado (island), Seokmodo (island) and Gyodongdo (island). Dominant species included, in decreasing order of, Larus crassirostris (29.18%, 3,382 individuals), Larus saundersi (10.52%, 1,219 individuals), Egretta garzetta (9.19%, 1,065 individuals), Egretta alba modesta (9.01%, 1,044 individuals) and Numenius madagascariensis (8.57%, 993 individuals). In June of 2009 (1st survey), the study recorded a total of 4,915 individuals of 50 species, and in September of 2009 (2nd survey), a total of 8,246 individuals of 45 species were recorded. The number of birds was relatively low in the 1st survey, but its species diversity (H′) of 2.35 and species richness (Da) of 4.76 were higher than those of the 2nd survey, with the H’ of 2.22 and Da of 4.87. Furthermore, depending on the region, Seokmodo (island) recorded the highest species diversity (37 species) in the 1st survey, with H’ of 2.57 and Da of 5.59, and in the 2nd survey, Gyodongdo (island) recorded the highest species diversity of 36 species, at H’ of 2.46 and Da of 4.79. In this study, Egretta eulophote and Platalea minor, natural mouments numbers 361 and 205-1, as well as 1st grade endangered species, along with 13 government protected species, were found.
