Compliance with Permit Standards and Assessment of Facility Safety Conditions

On the 1st, Anseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced that it has prepared a comprehensive plan and will conduct a thorough inspection to prevent safety accidents at fishing sites within the city.

The city has prepared and distributed the 'Fishing Safety Management Guidelines' and will conduct a full inspection of 31 fishing sites within the city by the end of this month. The main inspection items include ▲compliance with licensing standards ▲assessment of the safety status of water facilities and safety equipment ▲comprehensive inspection of fishing boats and management vessels. In particular, as the frequency of natural disasters such as heavy summer rain and typhoons increases, the city plans to focus on ensuring the safety of anglers.

The city plans to immediately correct minor violations on-site based on the inspection results, and to take follow-up measures such as repairing facilities for issues that pose safety concerns. For serious violations, administrative actions such as fines will be imposed.

Kim Bora, Mayor of Anseong City, said, "Through this fishing site safety management inspection, we will prevent accidents and seek reasonable measures to establish a healthy fishing culture."
