Welcome to the official website of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF).
Underpinning the ocean-based logistics for imports and exports, and providing an essential source of seafood and rest areas , the ocean has served as the backbone of the Korean economy.
While laying our emphasis on ‘securing sustainability in the field of oceans and fisheries for the generations to come’, MOF will stay committed to policies under the vision of ‘ocean economy that leaps forward, ocean community full of vitality’.
First, MOF is determined to rejuvenate the fishing communities with more engagement of younger generations, through improving the housing·income·welfare conditions of fishermen. Also, ‘food sovereignty’ will be achieved via enhancing the national competitiveness in the fisheries sector.
On top of that, MOF endeavor to enhance safety management under the guiding principle of protecting the health and safety of our people.
MOF is dedicated to revolutionizing the shipping industry to a high value-added industry with ship centric approaches. Through its unwavering spirit of succeeding ship officers, the ministry will map out more opportunities for younger seafarers with their dreams awaiting at sea.
Another grave mission belongs to creating healthy ocean, with reduction of carbon emission and systematic management of plastic waste in the field of oceans and fisheries, while port safety facilities is expanding in preparation against the increased risk of natural disasters to protect the lives and safety of the people.
Lastly, my ministry will remain committed to fostering the marine tourism & leisure activity, revitalizing the coastal and fishing economies and providing comfort and relaxation from the ocean. Our mission also encompasses other new industries, namely marine biotechnology, marine energy and etc.
MOF is dedicated to bridging effective communication between the public and the government, as well as executing policies for piles of pending issues in the field of oceans and fisheries. As MOF has commenced its great journey, I kindly request for your keen interest and kind support in this regard.
Thank you.
