Hi Martyn,

Just a twenty minute drive from where I sit.

Despite opposition to these projects, many politicians continue to
enact these so called reclamation projects. Often with the blessings
and influence of the U.S. military, as is most likley the case in the
Saemangeum which is located near one of the largest air force bases in
S. Korea. Never can have enough golf courses ya know!!!

Here is a little more detail on the situation at Saemangeum.
