경상남도 수산업계 동향의 주요 특징에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study summarized and reviewed the characteristics of major trends in the Gyeongsangnam-do fisheries industry, which occupies a pivotal position across the domestic fisheries industry. The reason why the regional scope is limited to Gyeongsangnam-do is that due to the nature of the domestic topography, which is where the sea is on three sides, pending issues arising in the national coastal fisheries industry appear differently, so research to classify and examine them by region and period is continuously needed. Currently, academic research on the trends of the Gyeongsangnam-do fisheries industry is remarkably insufficient, and the accumulation of related research is also urgent. Therefore, this study focused on the Gyeongsangnam-do fisheries industry and organized the current issues in the region into four major issues. The contents are as follows. First, the policies of the province and central government for the regeneration of fishing villages and island areas in Gyeongsangnam-do, which are experiencing crises such as a decrease in fisheries manpower, an aging population, and hollowing out of fishing villages and islands, were organized, focusing on the Fishing Village New Deal 300 Project and the Fishing Village Vitality Promotion Project. Second, policies for attracting and fostering new fishermen, such as returnees and young fishermen who want to enter the fisheries industry, and policies for fostering and strengthening the management of fisheries professionals at each stage are summarized. Third, the part of strengthening the designation and management of fishing heritage in the province was examined through the registration of national and world important agricultural heritage in Gyeongsangnam-do. Fourth, major issues of Suhyup by industry headquartered in Gyeongsangnam-do were pointed out. The headquarters of Suhyup by industry is located in the region, certifying that the industry is a specialized fishery product representing Gyeongsangnam-do. Therefore, examining the related issues that appear in each Suhyup becomes an indicator that can grasp the trends of major fisheries industries in Gyeongsangnam-do. Although this study has a fundamental limitation in that it was not possible to refer to various data at a time when academic research that identified related trends by specifying only the Gyeongsangnam-do fisheries industry is extremely scarce, it has its own significance as it is the first study to summarize and examine the main characteristics of the local fisheries industry trends as of 2024. It is hoped that this study will contribute to academic data that can serve as a reference for preparing differentiated crisis response measures at the regional level.
