Government data released on Monday has shown that climate change caused the sea level in South Korea to rise by almost 10 centimetres during the last 33 years.

The Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency reported that between 1989 and 2021, the average height of the nation’s coastline increased by 9.9 cm, with an increase of 3.01 mm each year.

The statistics showed that the southern sea experienced a 2.55 mm annual increase, while the yellow sea experienced a 3.08 mm annual increase and the east sea experienced a 3.53 mm annual increase.

The agency said that the sea level climbed 15.4 cm over the previous 62 years, or 2.49 mm per year, in accordance with information from the oldest station in the city of Mokpo in the southwest.
