[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] The Changwon City Policy Research Institute in Gyeongnam announced on the 23rd that it held a meeting with representatives of fishing villages belonging to Jinhae Fisheries Cooperative and Uichang Fisheries Cooperative to discuss support measures for fishermen following the development of the 2nd New Port.

The meeting took place over two days, on the 13th and 22nd. Fishermen and fishing village representatives requested practical measures including livelihood support for disappearing fisheries, as well as issues such as illegal parking by tourists due to a lack of parking spaces, complaints about insufficient road infrastructure, the establishment of village direct sales markets, creation of fisherman-participatory village specialty streets, and revitalization of fishing village commercial districts.

Jeon Su-sik, head of the Changwon City Policy Research Institute, stated, "We will present a theoretical and academic foundation so that central government ministries, Gyeongnam Province, and Changwon City can alleviate fishermen's feelings of loss and daily hardships and develop satisfactory policies," adding, "Based on the organized results, we will identify and promote research projects for the following year."
