The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (Minister Kang Do-Hyung) announced on January 24th (Wednesday) its establishment of the 4th Comprehensive Plan for the Development of the Distant Water Fishing Sector, which aims to strengthen the competitiveness and promote the sustainable development of Korea’s deep-sea fishing sector. Today, the distant water fishing sector is faced with several challenges, including deteriorating fishing conditions due to fish stock declines in the waters of coastal nations and non-exclusive zones; stronger requirements for the implementation of international standards to ensure compliant fishing operations, safety, and the rights of seafarers; and the unstable supply of vessel crew for deep-sea fishing vessels. In response, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has prepared a comprehensive plan to be implemented for five years from 2024 to 2028 in line with the Distant Water Fisheries Development Act to actively respond to these challenges and lay the foundation for the advancement of Korea’s distant water fishing sector. First, the Ministry plans to introduce advancements in the response system for combatting illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Surveillance capacity against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing shall be expanded through collaboration with fisheries monitoring centers, regional fisheries organizations, and international organizations, including non-governmental organizations. Carrier vessels that are not directly involved in fishing operations but suspected of direct or indirect involvement in IUU fishing shall also be subjected to surveillance to prevent the distribution of illegal catches.
