Dear Webmaster

Hello. This is Woojin Choi who studies oceanography 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 "Sea of Japan". It seems unreasonable to use the name

"Sea of Japan" 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/Sea of Japan.”

I would like to attach some references to help your understanding of this

matter. I hope that errors in your website will be corrected. If you do not

mind, could you let me know an e-mail address of the person in charge or

another possible way to correction, please?

Thank you again for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Woojin Choi
