Chairman Kim said, "After tasting Gyeongnam seafood today, it has quality and taste that cannot be missed anywhere," adding, "We will do our best to promote the safety of our seafood and increase consumption."

Chairman Noh said, "Seafood from the southern coast is thoroughly tested for radiation and other issues, so please trust and enjoy it," and added, "If there is any problem, I, as the chairman of the fisheries cooperative, will take responsibility."

Governor Park said, "I hope the residents and the public will love our Namhae coast seafood, which is delicious and good for health," and added, "Please help us revive the fisheries industry, preserve the marine environment, and empower fishermen."

He continued, "I hope this event will help the fisheries industry, which is facing difficulties due to the summer off-season and the upcoming discharge of contaminated water, by promoting safe seafood consumption," and said, "We will strive harder to induce safe seafood consumption and discover various policies to expand seafood consumption together with local governments, fisheries cooperatives, and regional companies."

The province plans to use local festivals in each city and county to carry out large-scale seafood promotion and sales activities starting with this event.
