Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do regains the old reputation of the clam clam district. Gangjin-gun announced on the 5th that about 100 residents, including fishing villages, had jointly collected a total of about 5 tons at the clam farm in Sacho Village, Sinjeon-myeon. In May last year, Gangjin-gun invested a total of 60 million won to save shellfish in Gangjin Bay, and the seed clams that were sown in 7 fishing villages, including sage-ri, have grown. After spraying, the clams survived high temperatures and typhoons well and grew to a size of 4 cm. Although the production of clams from Gangjin was not much in the 1980s and 1990s, they were so famous that they were auctioned the fastest at the Noryangjin Fish Market in Seoul because of their plump flesh and good taste. Gangjin-gun has been continuously expanding and promoting the seed shell spraying project for the recovery of clam resources from two years ago. In addition, to create an environment for clams inhabiting, the farmyard sand spraying project is being carried out every year. This year, he announced that he plans to spray clams and sand in 10 fishing villages in the district between May and June.
