The Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is set to identify distribution channels for eco-certified marine products such as seaweed, kelp, abalone, and eel. The initiative aims to understand the production and distribution status of these products, revitalize eco-friendly marine product certification, and establish a stable direct payment system. The move comes in response to the growing market for eco-friendly marine products and the increasing number of fish farms and distributors receiving international certification for eco-friendly systems.
