Keeping the tidal flat

We take photos of beautiful flowers, beautiful scenery and cute animals in our daily life. 'Tidal Flat Citizen Monitoring' is not much different from this daily life except that it regularly observes the various creatures living in the tidal flats and their surroundings and continuously records the changes.

The 'Tidal Flat Kippers' online platform was developed by applying a standardized scientific monitoring method based on the site, and the result of observation and recording of the tidal flat ecosystem can also be confirmed directly on the online platform.

Monitoring data voluntarily conducted by civilian investigators in the nation's tidal-flat area is accumulated through the 'Tidal Flat Kippers' online platform. Through the accumulated monitoring results, various information on the status of various tidal flat species in each region, species diversity, habitat change, threat factor and so on are secured by citizen's power. These data will enable us to analyze data from a variety of perspectives such as the ecological linkage between each species and the habitat environment and the impact of climate change on the tidal flats in the long term. In addition, online platforms provide expert assistance in real-time at the research site.

These interactions provided by the tidal-flat Kippers online platform will ensure a tidal-flat ecosystem surveillance system based on citizen participation and will lead to voluntary civic action on tidal-flat conservation.

The tidal flats Kippers were created by the ecological horizon research institute in 2016, submitted to the Google Impact Challenge and realized the idea of ​​"preserving the tidal flats in a smartphone," which was selected as the winning project. By using standardized citizen monitoring survey items in all tidal flats in Korea, It is a tidal-flat citizen monitoring online platform that can identify the connection between ecosystems.
