About 100 people attended the first auction ceremony and Bountiful Catch Festival, including Mayor Heo Seong-mu, National Assembly member Lee Ju-young, provincial and city council members, officials from Gyeongnam Province, related organizations and association heads, fisheries cooperative officials, middlemen, and fishermen.

At the event, fishermen who contributed to marine and fisheries policies received commendations from Gyeongnam Province and the Mayor of Changwon, and fishermen and middlemen who contributed to the development of the fisheries cooperative were awarded commendation certificates and plaques of appreciation from the Masan Fisheries Cooperative. This was followed by a ritual praying for a bountiful catch and safety, and an auction demonstration.

Mayor Heo said, “In these difficult times due to changes in the fishing environment such as depletion of fishery resources, market opening to imports, and illegal fishing by China, we will work together with fishermen to respond wisely and strongly,” adding, “I hope that all fishermen’s incomes increase in the new year and that fishing villages become better places to live.”
