Description
Dokdo Island consists of two main islands, Dongdo (East Island) and Seodo (West Island); and about 89 other rocks. Many kinds of birds live here, and stormy petrels, streaked shearwaters, and black-tailed gulls live in groups in this island. Until Dec. 1999, it was reserved as Habitat of Seabirds of Dokdo Island. After the discovery of its unique vegetation environment and geological importance, the islands are now designated and protected as a Natural Monument.
