Greenpeace East Asia oceans campaigner Jiehyun Park has responded to news that the Korean National Assembly has amended its fisheries law to help curb illegal fishing.
“These new provisions finally start addressing the huge and embarrassing problem of illegal fishing by South Korea’s fleets,” he said.
“But South Korea still has a long way to go and we will be keeping a close watch to ensure more progressive legislation is introduced without delay to address both illegal fishing and the need to manage fisheries sustainably.
