By next year, a total project cost of 34.1 billion KRW will be invested to carry out various projects aimed at discovering differentiated content unique to fishing villages and integrated development of fishing villages and ports, transforming the fishing villages.


For Dangsa Hang and Eomul Hang, a total of 14.1 billion KRW will be invested in constructing detached breakwaters and reinforcing safety facilities of breakwaters to prepare for large waves, as well as in access roads, parking facilities, marine fishing park landscape specialization works, and marine leisure facility development.
