Kim Ik-jung, Director of the Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries and Food Bureau of Incheon Metropolitan City, stated, "This extension of fishing hours is the fruit of regulatory reform that has long been a cherished wish of the fishermen in the Ganghwa sea area. We will continue to actively reflect the voices of the field to consistently pursue institutional improvements that help increase fishermen's income and vitalize the local economy." Incheon City announced that it is pushing forward an unprecedented deregulation measure to extend fishing hours by up to two hours by lifting the nighttime fishing (navigation) restrictions in the Ganghwa sea area, which have been tightly maintained for 44 years since 1982 due to national security and crossing-line prevention reasons. Following the preemptive lifting of nighttime fishing restrictions in the West Sea coastal waters in January this year, this achievement was accomplished after a series of consultations with relevant agencies including the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Korea Coast Guard, responding to the persistent field demands of Ganghwa fishermen who had previously been excluded due to security reasons and suffered relative deprivation.
With this regulatory relaxation measure, the fishing environment across the entire Ganghwa sea area (approx. 640.7) located north of 3730 North Latitude will be entirely reorganized. The fishing hours, which were previously permitted only from sunrise to sunset, will be expanded by 30 minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after sunset, fully securing a total of one hour of extra time daily. In particular, in the waters south of the seven major fishing grounds in southern Ganghwa, including Mandori B, Saeteo, and Seon-su fishing grounds where catches are heavily concentrated, the fishing hours will be extended from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset specifically during the spring and autumn peak seasons (April–June, September–November), securing an additional two golden hours of fishing daily. The city anticipates that this measure will generate a direct local economic ripple effect worth approximately 5 billion won annually as fishing opportunities expand. As soon as the amendment to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries' notification is finalized, pilot fishing operations are scheduled to commence in earnest starting this July.
The administrative move to boldly sever the chains of Cold War-era regulations and open substantial sea routes for fishermen in the northernmost border area of the West Sea is interpreted as a timely breakthrough in terms of reviving the civil economy and implementing field-centered regulatory innovation. In particular, successfully persuading conservative security agencies like the Ministry of National Defense and the Coast Guard across a vast territorial sea equivalent to 221 times the size of Yeouido, and deriving a practical compromise of peak-season-tailored time extensions, represents an encouraging result that breaks free from the limitations of rigid administration.
However, for this fishing extension measure to successfully settle as a substantial income boost for fishermen, it bears the highly realistic task of managing security risks amid strained inter-Korean relations and dealing with an operational overload in field management. If fishing hours extend into the early morning and late night while military tensions around the Northern Limit Line (NLL) and border waters remain at their peak, the probability of fishing vessels crossing the border line or suffering safety accidents during sea fog or inclement weather will inevitably rise exponentially. This policy stands on a vulnerable foundation where a single border-crossing or military clash could immediately roll back the entire deregulation.
This is precisely why authorities must not stay confined to passive post-management that simply widens the fishing zone and hours while shifting the burden of field surveillance entirely onto the Coast Guard and administrative vessels. Before the pilot operations begin this July, Incheon City must densely deploy an AI-based next-generation VTS (Vessel Traffic Service) linked tracking system across the Ganghwa waters to monitor fishing vessels' locations in real-time. Furthermore, establishing a permanent one-stop hotline infrastructure for immediate joint responses between the military and the police during maritime emergencies, and institutionalizing ordinances for nighttime navigation safety education for fishermen, are the critical tasks that must be resolved to turn the projected 5 billion won economic effect into a safe reality.
