Wando Port Labor Union Holds Rally to Secure National Maritime Fisheries Museum

[Wando=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Yoo Sang-sang, chairman of the Wando Port Labor Union, and union members held a resolution rally on the 7th at the Wando Port Terminal wharf to attract the 'National Maritime Fisheries Museum' to Wando.

Through this resolution, the Wando Port Labor Union expressed a desperate pledge to work together with the county to make every effort to attract the 'National Maritime Fisheries Museum,' which is being solicited by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, to Wando.

Chairman Yoo Sang-sang stated, "The waters around Wando are home to more than 2,200 species of diverse organisms, and since there are no large-scale industrial complexes, it is a marine ecological treasure trove with a pristine ecosystem," adding, "By establishing the National Maritime Fisheries Museum in Wando, which boasts an excellent natural environment and historical significance, we will link marine healing and marine bio industries and further demonstrate our capabilities as a marine tourism hub city."

He also pledged, "The 100 members of our Wando Port Labor Union will spare no support in attracting the National Maritime Fisheries Museum to Wando County, and we will do our best until the end to ensure that the National Maritime Fisheries Museum is established in clean Wando."

Meanwhile, the final site for the National Maritime Fisheries Museum, a 120 billion won project encompassing the maritime, history, fisheries, and ecology sectors of the southwestern coast of Jeollanam-do, is scheduled to be decided in October.
