Dear webmaster,

Hello. This is Woobin Seong who is a student in South Korea.

I have a project and research about marine environment and ecosystem, using your website. I really thank you for your website which provides useful contents for my research.

However, I have found some minor different information in your website from other sources during the research. In the map of your website, the name of the sea between Korea and Japan is described as " Japanisches Meer". It seems unreasonable to use the name " Japanisches Meer" which is decided in the period of imperialism because its original name is "East Sea" which has been used throughout history. Therefore, I believe that the body of water between Korea and Japan should be described as the “East Sea” or at least with the simultaneous use of both names; “East Sea/ Japanisches Meer.”

I would like to attach some references to help your understanding of this matter. I hope that errors in your website will be corrected.

Thank you again for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Woobin Seong from Korea
