The main contents of the agreement include ▲ prioritizing seafood when planning menus in the Yeosu Industrial Complex ▲ purchasing gift sets composed of Yeosu seafood when buying various souvenirs ▲ promoting the consumption and safety of Yeosu seafood during staff dinners and team-building events.

The 'Yeosu Industrial Complex Factory Managers' Association' is an organization where factory managers of 38 companies within the Yeosu Industrial Complex decide on common interests of the complex. According to this agreement, it is expected to not only increase the consumption of local seafood but also encourage citizens to consume more seafood.

A city official stated, "Due to the issue of the marine discharge of nuclear power plant contaminated water, it is urgent to prepare measures to resolve the difficulties faced by local fishermen caused by the decline in sales and prices of Yeosu seafood," adding, "Our city is making every effort to ensure the safety of seafood in line with its image as a seafood tourism city, so we ask citizens to actively participate in consuming local seafood."
