Discussion on biodiversity and cultural diversity was conducted in depth and seminars were held to promote converged debates, which are the basis of the convergence research tasks (shoots). The research area, Cheongsando, Wando-gun, has identified the relationship between cultural and biological resources, such as wells, trees, and streams, that are closely related to the lives of residents. In addition, the Commission investigated the activities of dok-sal, vegetation, fish and shellfish, and haenyeo(women divers) in Cheongsan-myeon.
During this period of convergence, Dr.Samantha of Oregan State University visited together to investigate the ecological culture and the haenyeo in Cheongsan-myeon, Wando Island, and the theme of our convergence project may already have a significant impact on the success. The importance of this task began with the establishment of a concept. Therefore, through the inviting and the seminars of eminent researchers from the humanities, nature, and interface areas, " The interface between biodiversity and the cultural diversity paradigm " was discussed in each view. It invited Cho Kyung-man (professor of ecology and anthropology, Mookpo University), Kim Yong-sik (Professor of ecology and biodiversity, Youngnam University), and Kim Young-soon (Professor of Multicultural Education, Inha University) to discuss ways to integrate the paradigm. In addition, it held a seminar on cooperation at the site of the project with fish officials from Wando-gun, who are developing various products using the actual marine resources of the island.
The results of the research will be summarized through the international journals, publications and publications, focusing on the achievements and collaborative research of individual researchers in this convergence project.
