Dear author,

Hello. This is hyo-weon Hong 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 "liancourt rocks". It seems unreasonable to use the name "liancourt rocks" which is decided in the period of imperialism because its original name is "Dokdo" which has been used throughout history. Therefore, I believe that the body of water between Korea and Japan should be described as the “Dokdo”

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,

hyo-weon Hong
