Lee Cheol, Jeonnam Provincial Assembly Member

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] On the 9th, Lee Cheol, a member of the Jeonnam Provincial Council, announced that he intensely questioned issues such as budget waste caused by overlapping research and development projects during the administrative audit of the Marine Fisheries Science Institute on the 5th.

Assemblyman Lee Cheol stated, “Although the Korea Fisheries Science Institute succeeded in the intermediate cultivation of sea cucumbers and the development of cuttlefish aquaculture technology in 2014 and 2019, respectively, a huge amount of research and development funds continue to be invested annually in these items, resulting in frequent overlap with research from other institutions,” and pointed out, “External research and development should be actively accepted to advance existing research and adapt it to the Jeonnam region.”

He continued, “To accelerate the era of 4 trillion won in Jeonnam seafood production, the Marine Fisheries Science Institute should strengthen research on high-income items such as gim (seaweed), abalone, and flatfish rather than conducting department store-style research on all seafood items,” adding, “Please do your best to create high income through focused research and development of seafood suitable for the Jeonnam environment.”

Assemblyman Lee Cheol is actively engaged in legislative activities on current issues in Wando County, such as questioning about water shortages in island areas, the Yeonryuk Bridge, and the new construction plan of the Cheonghaejinho ship at Wando High School during the 346th extraordinary session’s questions on provincial administration and educational administration.
