The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries conducted a comprehensive evaluation of fishing village and fishing port regeneration projects last year, including the "Fishing Village New Deal Project" and the "Fishing Village New Vitality Project." The evaluation covered the project execution rate, completion status, progress of preliminary procedures, and the institution's efforts and outstanding management performance. Out of 73 local governments nationwide, six?including Ansan City?were selected as outstanding institutions in this evaluation.

The city received high marks for providing separate facilities to minimize the income gap for fishermen during the modernization of the direct sales market under the "Fishing Village New Deal 300 Project." In addition, the shortening of the project period for the Fishing Village New Vitality Project was highlighted as an exemplary case of effective management.

Lee Mingeun, mayor of Ansan, stated, "This evaluation reflects the results of the city's proactive project implementation and the continued interest of fishermen," adding, "We will continue to do our best to create a sustainable fishing village environment in the future."
