South Korean government plan to restore 4 million tons of fishery resources

Tridge summary

The government is planning to restore coastal waters' fishery resources to 4 million tons by 2025, as domestic production of offshore fisheries has collapsed due to ecological and habitat changes, illegal and excessive fishing. The plan includes shifting fishery resource management to total allowable catch (TAC) and ecosystem-based management, and increasing participation in fishery resource protection activities.

Additionally, initiatives like sea ranching and the collection of lost fishing gear need improvement to ensure a healthy sea and create a rich fishing ground.
