This contest was held according to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries' announcement of the contest plan in December last year. Among 15 applications from 13 cities, counties, and districts nationwide, 4 sites were selected nationwide, and Geumjin Port in Goheung-gun was the only site finally selected in the Jeollanam-do area.

A county official said, "As a result of carefully preparing the contest to improve the fishing village environment of Goheung, surrounded by the sea on three sides, we have achieved the great success of being selected for the project for four consecutive years," and added, "We will take the lead in increasing fishery productivity and income that local residents can feel through improving the fishing village environment, which is the living ground of residents, as well as modernizing essential infrastructure."

Meanwhile, Goheung-gun secured a total project cost of 69.7 billion KRW for a total of 10 sites, including 10.5 billion KRW for 2 sites in 2019, 22.8 billion KRW for 3 sites in 2020, 4.9 billion KRW for 1 site in 2021, and 31.5 billion KRW for 4 sites in 2022.
