[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Park Jong-won, Jeonnam Provincial Assembly member (Democratic Party of Korea, Damyang 1), demanded measures to create income for fishermen due to the introduction of the carbon emissions trading system and to support fishermen struggling with Sargassum horneri during the Fisheries Committee's fisheries sector business report on the 1st.

Assemblyman Park Jong-won said, "I believe the introduction of the carbon emissions trading system can become a new income generation opportunity for Jeonnam fishermen, who rank first nationwide in seafood production," and urged, "Please thoroughly prepare for future carbon reduction aquaculture development research and development and fisheries aquaculture carbon reduction projects."

He continued, "Please actively support the collection and disposal costs for aquaculture fishermen suffering from Sargassum horneri, which has been flowing into areas such as Sinan and Jindo since early January this year, and make efforts to ensure proper disaster compensation," adding, "Research on fundamental solutions for the periodically inflowing Sargassum horneri, including ways to economically utilize it, is also necessary."

Meanwhile, Assemblyman Park Jong-won is actively engaged in legislative activities to increase farmers' and fishermen's income, such as proposing partial amendments to the 'Jeollanam-do Farmers and Fishermen Public Interest Allowance Payment Ordinance' and the 'Jeollanam-do Agricultural and Marine Products E-commerce Activation Support Ordinance.'
