As of today, nearly one hundred fishing boats are seen in the waters off Monggumpho alone, where the number of boats is expected to be doubled.

Many officials of the Ministry of Fisheries and different fishery stations are directing the fishing campaign on the spot, giving priority to supplying materials like fuel and fishing tools in advance.

According to Song Chun Sop, vice-minister of Fisheries, officials and fishermen are determined to greet the 7th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea with unprecedented labor feats by reaching the seasonal fishing target without fail.
