Assemblyman Shin said, "For the construction to proceed smoothly from next year, it must pass the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's feasibility evaluation and the Ministry of Economy and Finance's preliminary feasibility study."

He continued, "The Marine Healing Center is being constructed in Sinji-myeon, Wando-gun, with a budget of 32 billion KRW since 2019, aiming to open in September, but completion has been delayed due to heavy rains and other factors."

He then emphasized, "Please do your best so that the 'National Maritime Fisheries Museum,' which consolidates the nation's largest marine ecological resources and marine history, culture, and fisheries resources using marine and fisheries content, and the 'Marine Healing Center,' a growth engine for sustainable fisheries and fishing villages, can become landmarks representing the southwestern coast."

In response, Choi Jeong-gi, Director of the Marine and Fisheries Bureau of Jeonnam Province, said, "We will do our best to establish an organic cooperation system with related ministries to ensure the early groundbreaking of the National Maritime Fisheries Museum and the prompt completion of the Marine Healing Center so that the construction projects proceed without any setbacks."
