Some 10,500 tons of crude oil were estimated to have poured from a super tanker after a drifting barge punched holes in its side. South Korea's previously largest spill happened in 1995, when 5,000 tons of oil washed onto the southern coast.
More than 20 million tourists a year visit the area, drawn by its natural beauty.
The area is also home to many oyster beds and seafood farms, which supply local hotels and restaurants.
There are also wider environmental worries: Mallipo, for example, is an important transit point for migrating birds such as snipe and mallards.
We were very eager to help this disaster against nature and human being and finally we did it!!!!!!!!! Basically I was loaded full of lab work at that time but I couldn’t let this great opportunity pass by.
