Suncheonman, or Suncheon Bay Ecological Park, is a coastal wetland composed of a 3.5 km (2.2 mi) long stream, a 2,221 ha (5,490 acres) wide tideland and a 230 ha (570 acres) wide field of reeds. Due to its natural coast, it is the habitat for migratory birds, plants and animals. It is the first Korean coastal wetland to be registered on the list of The Ramsar Wetland on January 20, 2006.

Suncheon Bay's wide tideland, field of reeds, and salt swamp have their natural settings undisturbed. Salt swamp has a function in water pollution prevention and purification, keeping Suncheon Bay clean and undamaged. The shallow tideland at the river mouth has reasonable salt content, abundant organisms, and a healthy water quality. These characteristics make Suncheon Bay a spawning ground for fish, crab, shellfish, etc.
