The main crackdown targets include △ intrusion and theft at village fishing grounds and aquaculture farms △ advance payment fraud △ illegal fishing △ human rights violations such as assault △ wanted persons who have not appeared before investigative agencies, are missing, or are evading arrest.


In particular, the station plans to carry out focused criminal activities during vulnerable hours such as nighttime at ports and harbors, and strengthen checks for wanted status when crew members change, implementing intensive crackdowns to proactively prevent crimes infringing on people's livelihoods.



Investigation Chief Seo Nam-su said, “We plan to actively respond to completely block illegal acts that infringe on people's livelihoods in preparation for the Lunar New Year holiday and to protect fishermen's economic activities, ensuring a safe and peaceful holiday.” He added, “We urge the public to actively report any witnessed illegal fishing activities.”
