As the fishing ban is lifted, Chinese fishing boats are flocking to our West Sea one after another.
The Coast Guard has launched an intensive crackdown on unlicensed fishing boats as well as reckless fishing operations that sweep away fry.
Reporter Lim Gyeong-seop covered the Coast Guard’s crackdown on illegal fishing, which was like a battlefield.

The Coast Guard’s high-speed boat speeds up toward the Chinese fishing boat that is operating.
The crew on board the fishing boat opens the fishing port and checks the fishing log.
Fishing vessels operating within our exclusive economic zone are required to enter a fishing log.
The Chinese fishing boat that was caught did not enter a fishing log for more than half a year since last April.
This is clearly illegal fishing.
The captain gives an absurd answer, saying that the fishing log was gnawed by a rat.
The Coast Guard seized this fishing boat and imposed a security deposit of 40 million won.

A Coast Guard vessel fires water cannons at a Chinese fishing boat to push it away.
This is a Chinese fishing boat that invaded our waters without obtaining a fishing permit.
Iron bars were even installed next to the hull to prevent Coast Guard members from boarding the ship.
When the fishing ban was lifted, illegal fishing by Chinese fishing boats in the West Sea increased, and the Coast Guard launched a special crackdown.

– “First, we check all vessel documents. We check whether the amount of catch in the fishing hold matches the amount written in the actual fishing log.”
Illegal fishing gear that sweeps away fry is also a problem.
During this crackdown, 52 ‘beomjang nets’, nets that are tightly spaced at 2 to 3 cm apart and are used to catch even young fish, were discovered.
Over the past three years, the West Sea Coast Guard has cracked down on about 150 illegal fishing boats.
When the fishing ban was lifted, the war against illegal fishing boats began again.
