The South Headquarters of the Korea Fisheries Resources Corporation is set to release 10,676 octopuses into Hampyeong Bay and other areas with artificial spawning grounds to boost octopus resources. This initiative, funded by a 4 billion won investment from 2021 to 2025, involves transplanting mother octopus and creating artificial spawning grounds, with the aim of recovering octopus populations. The project, in collaboration with the Namhae Headquarters and Hampyeong-gun, has already led to an increase in octopus fishing and sales.
