This year’s council was directly chaired by Minister Kang Do-hyung, with deputy heads of 12 metropolitan local governments overseeing coastal areas such as Busan, Incheon, and Ulsan in attendance.

During the council, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries shared the key investment directions for 2025. Minister Kang emphasized communication with local governments who are well aware of field characteristics and urged regions to proactively discover projects and actively express their opinions. The 12 metropolitan local governments proposed new projects in various fields, including revitalization of fishing villages and coastal areas and marine environment conservation, and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries plans to actively review the proposed projects.
