Principle of Zero Tolerance for Illegal Fishing... Administrative Enforcement Scheduled

Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) will conduct an indefinite special crackdown to prevent illegal pre-fishing activities using modified Ankang net barges (commonly known as Canverse) in order to protect marine resources and establish fishing order.

According to the county on the 1st, this special crackdown targets illegal modified Ankang net fishing, which is an illegal fishing method characterized by high catch intensity and indiscriminate capture.

In particular, the overfishing of aquatic resources disrupts the distribution order of seasonal seafood, and illegal fishing gear installed along navigation routes also threatens the safe navigation of vessels.

Furthermore, the crackdown will be conducted with a zero-tolerance policy against illegal fishing carried out for livelihood reasons. Starting with administrative enforcement warnings for illegal modified Ankang nets, illegal fishing gear that is not voluntarily removed will be subject to administrative enforcement measures such as cutting and confiscation of the gear.

A county official stated, “We plan to continue the special crackdown indefinitely to establish fishing order, manage sustainable marine resources, and ensure that fishermen’s sound and autonomous fishing order is firmly established.”
