Development of 'Fishing Village Specialized Capacity Building Villages' in Seosin-myeon, Hwaseong and Danwon-gu, Ansan

Gyeonggi Province has selected two fishing villages, Jeongok Fishing Village in Seosin-myeon, Hwaseong City, and Heulgot Fishing Village in Danwon-gu, Ansan City, as targets for the Fishing Village Specialization Capacity Building Project.

The two villages selected through the Gyeonggi Fishing Village Specialization Support Center's public contest will receive expert consulting and related education to generate income beyond fishing by utilizing local and village resources. Various training programs for strengthening fishing village capacities will be provided, including assessing the current status of each village's resources, creating village autonomy regulations, and establishing resident-led communities such as village enterprises.

Last year, 25 villages including Sangdong, Tando, and Jonghyeon fishing villages received capacity building and consulting education. Specialized products from fishing villages such as Hwaseong Jebudo seaweed ice rice cake and Paju seasoned dried fish snacks have been developed and are currently being sold both online and offline.

Gyeonggi Province operates eight related projects, including management independence education and the specialization capacity building project, through the Gyeonggi Fishing Village Specialization Support Center, and plans to invest a budget of 225 million KRW this year.

Kim Bong-hyun, Director of the Marine Fisheries Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We are promoting the Fishing Village Specialization Capacity Building Project to increase the added value of fishing village resources and to pursue sustainable development. We will do our best to contribute to the economic revitalization of fishing village areas in the province by tailoring efforts to the characteristics and issues of Gyeonggi fishing villages."
