Tsushima Strait
The Tsushima Strait is a narrow body of water located between the islands of Tsushima and the southern coast of Korea. It connects the East China Sea to the Sea of Japan, playing a crucial role in maritime navigation and trade in the region. The strait is approximately 130 kilometers long and varies in width, making it an important passage for ships traveling between these two significant bodies of water.
This strait is also known for its rich marine biodiversity, including various fish species and marine mammals. The surrounding areas are influenced by the warm Kuroshio Current and the cold Liaodong Current, which contribute to the unique ecological conditions. The Tsushima Strait has historical significance as well, having been a strategic location during various conflicts, including the Russo-Japanese War.
