Headline Land from the Sea

Caption Description Korea is getting a new coastline as a result of a land reclamation scheme that aims at converting some 50 bays on the west coast into rich rice lands within the next ten years. Sponsored by the Korean Ministry of Agriculture and assisted by UNKRA, which supplied the necessary steel, cement and dynamite, one of the first projects is well under way at Tae Chon, where almost 1,600 acres of tide lands has been cut off from the fellow Sea by a strong, six-kilometer long dyke and is in process of being cleared for cultivation. Seen here is the main sluice gate on the inner wall of the newly completed dyke. The gates on this side, which are hand operated and are raised and lowered according to the state of the tide, supplement a series of 27 automatic gates on the outer wall.
