The Coastal Safety Accident Risk Forecast System is a system that informs the public in advance of the risk of safety accidents occurring in coastal waters to prevent accidents. It is issued in three stages?Interest, Caution, and Warning?depending on the severity.

During the spring tide, when the difference between high and low tides is very large and the sea level rises, special caution is required for coastal safety accidents such as falling into the sea and isolation.

The Coast Guard plans to strengthen sea and land patrols focusing on low-lying dangerous areas along the coast such as coastal waters, ports, harbors, and rocky shores during this period, and to make every effort to prevent coastal safety accidents through publicity and safety guidance activities via local governments, sub-stations, electronic signboards, and announcement broadcasts.

A Mokpo Coast Guard official said, “To prevent safety accidents caused by rising sea levels, we ask anglers and visitors to refrain from accessing the coastline, and marine workers to conduct frequent safety inspections in preparation for ship flooding and capsizing accidents.”
