Offshore farms in the West coast areas made innovations in the production.

The Pupho Offshore Farm kept technical regulations in the management of culture grounds and raised the mobility of tugboats while harvesting kelp of good yield first, thus producing thousands of tons of kelp.

Fishery units in the East coast areas also fulfilled their monthly seaweed production plans through socialist emulation drive.

The Songdowon Fishery Station produced large amounts of seaweed by creating an ecological environment fit for seaweed production and by carrying out cultivation and management on a sci-tech basis at the same time.

Officials and aquaculture workers of the Thongchon Fishery Station enjoyed good results as each process was carried out as per regulations.

The devoted efforts of officials and workers of the fishery sector resulted in the increase in the seaweed production.
