Dear webmaster,

Hello. This is Lee Baehyeong who studies Marine paleobiology in South Korea.

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

However, I have found some major difference in your website. In the map of your website, In the map of your website, the name of the sea between Korea and Japan is described as ‘Sea of Japan“. But this is a misrepresentation. This ocean was historically called donghae, and this is correct name. Nevertheless, the Japanese government is Korea`s national power weak when declaring as the Sea of Japan. This is clearly wrong and illogical behavior under international law. That's why the Sea of Japan is not appropriate and right must be fixed in the name is East sea.

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

Thank you again for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Lee Baehyeong
