About Asō Bay
Asō Bay is a natural site. Location: Nagasaki, Japan.
Asō Bay (浅茅湾, Asō-wan) is a large, complex inlet that nearly cleaves the Japanese island of Tsushima in two. The bay is notable for its ria coastline, with many peninsulas and numerous small islands located close to the shore. It is part of the Iki-Tsushima Quasi-National Park. Pearls are cultured, and Japanese amberjack are farmed in its waters. The measured COD of the bay's water was between 1 and 2,5 mg/L.
