[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Mokpo Coast Guard announced on the 23rd that it will issue a 'Warning' under the risk forecast system to prevent coastal safety accidents due to the spring tide on the 25th.

The 'Warning' level to be issued this time is a risk forecast issued when safety accidents occur in coastal waters due to bad weather or natural disasters, and there is concern about the spread of damage.

According to the National Oceanographic Research Institute's November coastal flooding caution information, during the spring tide period on November 25, the tidal difference at the Jindo coastal area will be large and the sea level will rise.

Accordingly, the Coast Guard plans to provide real-time safety information using electronic signboards at branch offices, various broadcasting equipment, and strengthen patrols and safety management focusing on vulnerable areas such as harbors, breakwaters, and rocky shores to make every effort to prevent coastal safety accidents.

A Mokpo Coast Guard official urged, "Please refrain from entering coastal risk areas such as low-lying coastal areas, harbors, rocky shores, and breakwaters, and vessel workers should conduct frequent safety inspections to prepare for flooding and capsizing of moored vessels."
