There are many natural resources such as beautifuI landscape and typical culture of the fishing village in the island(Nangdo) but unfortunately It is hardly to find young people to promote and utilize them in order to activate the villages. There are many garbage along the coast of island. They are mostly Iife waste from main land and other islands but also from fishing gears abandoned.
