Pyeongtaek Port Authority Conducts 'Coastal Cleanup Activities' Near West Dock of Pyeongtaek Port

Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek Port Authority took a commemorative photo after conducting an environmental cleanup activity with local communities and related organizations near the West Pier of Pyeongtaek Port on the 24th.

The Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek Port Authority, together with Gyeonggi Province, Pyeongtaek City, and the Pyeongtaek Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office, conducted a coastal cleanup activity near the western dock of Pyeongtaek Port on the 24th to create a clean Gyeonggi Sea.

Earlier, on the 28th of last month, Gyeonggi Province, five cities along the West Sea coast, and 11 public institutions under Gyeonggi Province signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly recognize the need to solve the marine litter problem for a clean Gyeonggi Sea and to voluntarily participate in coastal cleanup activities. Subsequently, Governor Kim Dong-yeon of Gyeonggi Province visited the site of the 'Gyeonggi Cheongjeongho' (marine litter cleanup vessel), which he personally inspected in September last year, to discuss the seriousness of the marine litter problem and the necessity of its resolution.

On this day, Kim Seok-gu, President of the Pyeongtaek Port Authority, participated in the coastal cleanup activity and encouraged and expressed gratitude to the employees of the authority and related organizations.

President Kim emphasized, "We will ensure that environmental cleanup activities are not one-time events but involve organic cooperation with related organizations such as Gyeonggi Province and Pyeongtaek City to solve social and environmental issues. Furthermore, we will expand the cleanup areas not only along the coast but also to nearby areas of business sites managed and operated by the authority within the province, actively fulfilling the social and environmental roles of the public sector's ESG."

The participating fishing village association also expressed their intention to actively engage in marine cleanup efforts.
