The study on the classification of the Chindo Islands ascidians was conducted by collecting the specimens from five localities in July and November, 1994 and the previous records. The ascidians were classified into 7 families, 11 genera and 16 species. They are all known species in Korean waters. Among them nine species were found to be new to the Chindo Is. From the standpoint of water forms, the composition of the ascidians from Chindo Is. is made up of three elements, viz., temperate (8species, 50%), temperature-tropical (7 species, 44%) and tropical (1 species, 6%) . A boreal water species and boreal-temperature species were not found . It may be attributable to the fact that the water of this area is warm because of Kuroshio Water Current.

The ants found in Chindo Island were investigated from July to October, 1994. We were interested in the ant fauna of this island because it is one of larger islands of Korea and being well supplied with subterranean water, quite different for mother islands in this respect. Collections were examined from 11 sites of Chindo Is. , of which 21 species of 15 genera under 4 subfamilies are classified and reported.

JC Raulston Arboretum of the North Carolina State University houses 113 species of Korean native landscape woody plants. Styrax japonicus 'Emerald Pagoda'[formerly 'Sohuksan'] is native to Korea, China, and Japan. 'Emerald pagoda' is a special cultivar found by DR. J.C. Raulston during the United States National Arboretum plant collection expedition of the island of Sohuksan at the Western end of the Korea in 1985. Incredible, thick, glossy, large-leafed form of this beautiful white flowering tree found in Korea in 1985. It was probably the most outstanding ornamental plant to come from the expedition after his trip to Sohuksan and Chindo in the harsh perilous islands of the coast of Korea. He brought this one back in his suitcase. Viburnum awabuki 'Chindo' is and evergreen broadleaf shrub. It is for screening and as fire resistant trees in the southern region of Korea, because of its compact, leathery leaves. 'Chindo' was discovered on the island of Chindo by the U.S. National arboretum plant exploration team including J.C. Raulston during its 1985 Korean trip. Cuttings were taken from this plant, and liners were produced over subsequent years. These liners are now being evaluated for hardiness and fruit production throughout the Southeast of USA.

This paper examined the evolution and development strategies of Young-deung Festival holding in Chindo since 1978. The Young-deung Festival is a representative event tourism in Korea. The water between Hoidong and Modo in Chindo, a small islet 2.8km off the coast, part to reveal a path 40m wide as a result of the moon influence on the tides. This phenomenon is called “young-deung-sal”on the Chindo. This event began on a small scale highlighting the treasury of traditional folkfore and shamanism peculiar to these islands, various cultural resources, and local place attraction such as young-deung-sal. But, in the early 1990s, with the introduction of systematic management and a variety of programs, the small village festival has steadily evloved in the scale aspects of the program, budget, profit, and the number of visitors participating in festival. In addition, the period of festival was prolonged for three days and visitors from other provinces have steadily increased, in particular visitors from Seoul and Gyoungkee have steadily increased. In order to develop the Young-deung Festival, the followings should be done: creation of local image through place attraction, private organization in supporting festival, adoption of management techniques for the local economic activites, and extension of linkage with tourists places around Chindo, target visitor marketing through a continuous visitor survey.
