Jeonnam Province Recognized for Marine Development Contributions with 'Presidential Citation'... The Only One Nationwide

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province announced on the 14th that it received the Presidential Institutional Award, the only local government nationwide to be recognized for its contributions to marine development.

'Sea Day' is designated as a national commemorative day to raise awareness of the importance of the sea and to enhance the pride of marine and fisheries workers, with annual commemorative events held.

The province has been engaged in systematic marine management and continuously communicated with marine and fisheries workers to boost their pride. It also received favorable evaluations for efforts to revitalize the fishing village economy, such as supporting fishermen's household management through interest rate differential compensation on policy funds.

Last year, by introducing the nation's first Safe Beach Reservation System, it contributed not only to COVID-19 prevention but also to creating a clean marine environment by establishing a plan to achieve zero marine waste.

The province plans to hold the 26th Sea Day commemorative event on the 25th at Namyeol Haemaji Beach in Goheung.

Wi Gwanghwan, Director of the Marine and Fisheries Bureau of Jeonnam Province, said, "The sea is a precious asset of humanity that should be cherished and preserved to pass on to future generations," adding, "We will implement various policies to protect a clean and healthy sea, including systematic management of the sea as the living space of fishermen for sustainable marine and fisheries industries."
