Chairman Noh of the Central Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives urged fishermen to "wear life jackets and go out to work safely" to reduce casualties from fishing accidents, such as the one that occurred at Jeju Port on September 26. On that day, Chairman Noh participated as the second runner in a challenge organized by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, following Minister Jeon Jae-su of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, under the slogan "Safety belts on the road, life jackets at sea." Chairman Noh said, "Since life jackets are the minimum equipment to protect lives, they must be worn," and "The Fisheries Cooperatives will actively cooperate in improving fishermen's awareness and establishing systems through on-site safety promotion."
