Request for Cooperation in Protecting Personal Fishing Grounds and Support for Liquid Oxygen Supplyers and Shade Screens
[Wando=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 21st that it is thoroughly preparing for red tide and high water temperature damage by promoting and educating fishermen and implementing various support projects to prevent red tide and high water temperature during the summer season.
According to this year's marine weather forecast, the coastal water temperature of Korea is expected to be 0.5 to 1℃ higher than the average (25℃) due to the strengthening of the Tsushima Current.

In addition, the county is promoting projects such as support for liquid oxygen and liquid oxygen supply devices, and shade net support to prepare for red tide and high water temperature.
Furthermore, related information has been promoted through banners, pre-inspections of red tide control resources such as loess and mudstone have been conducted, and the Wando-gun Red Tide Countermeasures Committee, whose term expires on the 30th, has been reorganized.
