Gyeongnam Province recently held the '2026 Abnormal Sea Temperature Preemptive Response Symposium' at the Gyeongnam Fisheries Technology Institute to minimize damage caused by abnormal sea temperatures due to climate change and to establish a preemptive response system. The symposium was attended by officials from Gyeongnam Province, including the head of the Fisheries Resources Division, the National Institute of Fisheries Science's South-Eastern Marine Research Institute, coastal cities and counties, the Gyeongnam Branch of the Fisheries Cooperatives Central Association, fish and sea squirt farming cooperatives, and aquaculture farmers. They evaluated the response situation for the winter of 2025-2026 with low sea temperatures and focused on discussing response strategies to minimize damage to aquaculture caused by high sea temperatures in the coming summer. In particular, they discussed adjusting priority management areas for low sea temperatures, improving systems for activating emergency discharges, and other measures.
