People Power Party Rep. Kim Seung-su Introduces Bill to Designate 'Fishing Leisure Special Zone'

Kim Seung-su, a member of the People Power Party (Daegu Buk-gu Eul), has introduced a bill to partially amend the "Fishing Management and Promotion Act" to designate special fishing leisure zones and enable the government to provide administrative and financial support for the creation of fishing complex towns.

Special fishing leisure zones are areas where fishing spaces, which have been continuously decreasing due to fishing control zones and restricted zones, need to be expanded, and where fishing-related conditions such as fishing education venues need to be intensively developed. This was established as a legal basis to implement the designation of special fishing leisure zones, one of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration's national tasks.

The main contents of the proposed amendment to the Fishing Act include the designation of special fishing leisure zones, the establishment of support and special provisions for these zones, and the adjustment of inconsistent provisions regarding the imposition of fines.

If this amendment is passed, it is expected to greatly contribute to the development of fishing culture by not only responding to the increasing demand for fishing through the designation of special fishing leisure zones but also enabling government administrative and financial support for the creation of fishing complex towns for fishing, leisure activities, and recreation, as well as education for fostering a healthy fishing culture.

Representative Kim Seung-su said, "As the fishing population and industry have rapidly grown, ushering in an era of 10 million anglers, the spaces where fishing can be enjoyed have been continuously shrinking due to the expansion of fishing control zones and lack of convenience facilities." He added, "This amendment, which establishes the basis for the creation of special fishing leisure zones and support policies, is expected to greatly help fishing become a healthy national leisure culture representing Korea."
