AB  - This study was conducted to clarify the distribution and breeding 
  status of Chinese egret <I>Egretta eulophotes</I> for conservation and management 
  in South Korea. The known habitat of the birds in South Korea is confined to 
  10 sites. All the breeding sites are uninhibited offshore islets in the Yellow 
  Sea, South Korea. Major breeding sites are Napdaekiseom, Hwangseodo, Chilsando, 
  Seomando and Mokdo Islets. Most of the nests are located in dense stands of 
  arrow bamboo <I>Pseudosasa japonica</I> and baby brier <I>Rosa multiflora</I>. 
  The vegetation of the offshore islets with breeding sites should be maintained 
  and managed to help the birds breed successfully. Human disturbance by photography 
  and egg collection should be prohibited in breeding islands. An action plan 
  based on long-term ecological research should be prepared to aid the conservation 
  of the birds and their habitats.
