Tridge summary

From environmental management to workers' rights and safety, it is possible to ensure that the abalone in Jindo, Jeollanam-do has been certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), an international certification for eco-friendly seafood. ASC certification requires a complicated certification process and a lot of cost, including environmental management to guarantee workers' rights and safety, but Jindo-gun has been carrying out education, consulting, and examination since 2019 to become an eco-friendly seafood production center, and it has come to fruition. Jindo-gun expects that the abalone ASC international certification will revitalize the abalone aquaculture industry, which is experiencing difficulties such as price drops and consumption limits, and help secure export competitiveness to China and Japan. In particular, it is expected that the preference for internationally certified eco-friendly seafood will increase in a situation where consumers are increasingly interested in the environment after Corona 19.
