Ulsan Namgu City Management Corporation (Chair Lee Chun-sil) announced that it will hold a "Marine Animal Rescue and Treatment Photo Exhibition" in the Whale Ecological Experience Center for 70 days from August 1 to October 9.

The Whale Ecological Experience Center's "Marine Animal Rescue and Treatment Photo Exhibition" is held annually to raise awareness of marine environmental protection.

The Whale Ecological Experience Center, a specialized marine animal rescue and treatment center designated by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, aims to expand citizens' awareness of marine environmental protection through 26 representative photos of rescuing and treating marine animals in danger from 2013 to the present and 20 photos of marine animals whose lives are threatened in the wild.

Meanwhile, the Whale Ecological Experience Center rescued and treated a loggerhead sea turtle wrapped in a discarded fishing net in June 2021 and successfully released it on August 25, 2022, at Saekdalhaebyeon Beach in Jungmun, Jeju Island.

Currently, a "green sea turtle" that was seriously injured in its front and back legs by a discarded fishing net at Nasa Beach in Ulsan is being treated by its keepers after surgery at the hospital.

"We hope that many people will sympathize with and participate in marine environment protection through the photo exhibition of marine animal rescue and treatment at the Whale Ecological Experience Center," said Lee Chun-sil, Chair of the corporation.
