Support for Fishery Assistants Including Local Women Fishers

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] On the 24th, Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it is promoting a Fisheries Helper project that supports the costs necessary for hiring personnel to maintain fishing activities for fishermen who have difficulty engaging in fishing activities.

The support targets fishermen who have difficulty in fishing activities due to accidents, illness, pregnancy, etc., and provides fishing activity support (Fisheries Helper). Among them, female fishermen who have participated in fishermen training courses (Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, local government fishery managers) are also eligible for support.

Applicants must be fishermen registered as fishery management entities residing in the jurisdiction and must not have a full-time job other than fishing.

The support amount is 100,000 KRW per day, up to a maximum of 30 days (however, in the case of pregnancy and childbirth or the four major severe diseases, the annual limit is 60 days). If multiple household members have difficulty fishing due to illness, support is available for up to 30 people per day.

However, in the case of pregnancy and childbirth or the four major severe diseases, the annual limit is 60 days.

Applications can be submitted by submitting the support application form available at the eup/myeon office along with supporting documents such as resident registration certificate, health insurance qualification certificate, and fishery management entity registration certificate to the eup or myeon office of the applicant's residence.

A county official said, “We will spare no support necessary to protect maternity and improve the quality of life of fishermen, especially female fishermen, in Goheung-gun, and we plan to prepare various supports through communication with fishermen who have difficulty in fishing activities in the future.”
