This support is part of the "KHNP Support Project" promoted by the Wolseong Headquarters, and is a proactive measure to create a safer fishing environment.

In particular, with the mandatory life jacket regulation for small fishing vessels set to take effect on October 19, the support was provided promptly to ensure that local fishermen can adapt to the regulatory changes without difficulty.

The handover ceremony was attended by Jeong Wonho, Head of Wolseong Headquarters, Lee Youngwoong, Head of the Gyeongju Fisheries Cooperative, Koo Youngsoo, Head of the Gampo Police Substation at Pohang Coast Guard, and many other representatives from local organizations and groups.

Lee Youngwoong, Head of the Fisheries Cooperative, said, "Fishing accidents continue to occur nationwide. I hope that this support of life jackets for safe fishing operations will become a reliable safeguard for our fishermen's lives," expressing his gratitude.

Jeong Wonho, Head of Wolseong Headquarters, emphasized, "While income-generating support projects for the region are important, projects that protect the lives of residents must come first. We will continue to provide generous support for initiatives directly related to life and safety."

The Wolseong Headquarters plans to continue promoting a variety of support projects to spread a culture of safety in the region.
