[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 25th that it will apply for the 2022 Fishing Village New Deal 300 public contest project organized by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, including three previously rejected ports (Masir Port, Dowon Port, Dodae Port) and two new ports (Jangjae Port, Tando Port), totaling five ports.

The Fishing Village New Deal 300 public contest project is a project aimed at revitalizing fishing villages into vibrant and attractive spaces by utilizing various resources possessed by fishing villages such as islands, fishery resources, and natural scenery.

This project aims to improve living conditions by renovating outdated infrastructure and to create new income bases in the region by strengthening the capabilities of residents.

If selected, the county plans to promote specialized projects over three years starting in 2022, such as extending breakwaters, expanding quays, and renovating fishing port infrastructure to improve the quality of life for local residents and establish a tourism foundation.

Additionally, to nurture and strengthen core leaders who will drive the Fishing Village New Deal 300 project, education will be provided to residents, and to attract tourists and increase fishermen's income, a brand reflecting local characteristics will be developed along with various promotional activities.

Governor Kim San said, “Through the Fishing Village New Deal 300 project, we will renovate the deteriorated fishing ports to make fishing villages places where people want to live and where young people return,” adding, “We will do our best to promote tasks such as fishing village and fishing port regeneration development plans to revitalize the stagnant fishing villages and achieve sustainable fishing village development.”
