A man in his 60s who slipped and was injured on the rocky shore near the outer harbor breakwater of Gadeokdo, Busan, was rescued by the Changwon Coast Guard on the 2nd.

According to the Changwon Coast Guard Station, Mr. A slipped while fishing on the rocky shore at 8:01 a.m. that day.

Upon receiving the report, the Changwon Coast Guard dispatched a patrol vessel and a coastal rescue boat from the Shinhang Police Substation to the scene, but due to the shallow water around the rocky shore, they arranged for a private marine rescue boat to rescue Mr. A.

A Changwon Coast Guard official said, “Thanks to the close cooperation system we usually maintain with private marine rescue teams, we were able to receive active help and cooperation from nearby private marine rescue members,” and added, “In narrow spaces like rocky shores or coastal areas with heavy swells, there is a high risk of accidents such as falls or slips, so life jackets must be worn at all times. In case of accidents or emergencies, please report immediately to the Coast Guard.”
