Fisheries Resources Enhancement Center

New regime in the Sea requires us to more effectively manage fisheries resources and be more responsible for utilizing the resources.
To this end, the center is trying to recover the fisheries resources in various ways, ultimately to improve people's quality of life.
The marine ranching development projects in the Southwest, East, West and jeju Coast of Korea are pushed forward with the aim of constructing water front for fisheries and leisure in an attempt to boost income for fisheries households and envision the future based on ocean development.
