World Heritage Sites
Migratory Bird Sanctuaries along the Coast of Yellow Sea-Bohai Gulf of China (Phase I)
These are intertidal mudflats, marshes and shoals considered to be the largest in the world. Important for 400 birds species, and critical for the over 50 million migratory birds that use the East Asian-Australasian flyway (spans 22 countries) that depend on the coastline as a stopover to Two parts are 30 km apart separated by the Dafeng Port, on the coast of the Yellow Sea in Jiangsu Province: 1. Migratory Bird Habitat in the South of Yancheng, Jiangsu and 2. Migratory Bird Habitat in the North of Yancheng.
There 415 species of birds, 26 mammals, 9 amphibians, 14 reptiles, and 216 species. Includes two of the world’s rarest migratory birds – the Spoon-billed Sandpiper and Nordmann’s Greenshank. Also the Black-faced Spoonbill, Oriental Stork, Red-crowned Crane and Great Knot.
The main body of the marine deposition plain and mudflat was formed before 1855, when the Yellow River changed its course. The Yellow River, Yangtze River, Yalu River, Liao River, Luan River and Hai River continuously discharge sediments into the Yellow Sea and Bohai Gulf.
Pollution, marine traffic, the modification of major rivers and their sediment loads, wind energy and infrastructure on land and in the sea.
