Efforts are concentrated on strengthening the material and technical foundations of the fishery sector.
The modernization of fishing boats and tackle is actively promoted.
Fishing units on the east coast including the Sinchang Fishery Cooperative in Pukchong County are repairing and maintaining the boats properly while actively conducting the mass technical innovation movement and widely introducing rational fishing methods.
The Hongwon Shipyard is increasing rails for ship-lifting devices at the final stage to raise the ship building and repairing capacity. The Tanchon Shipbuilding Factory under the Sinpho Distant-Sea Fishery Complex has completed the construction of a sea dyke with its own strength and technology, making it possible to protect the rail for ship-lifting device from the tidal wave damage.
The Wonsan Combined Fishing Tackle Factory reinforces the epispatic buoy production process and waste plastic recycling process by increasing machinery and equipment in close contact with relevant units.
Scientists and researchers of the Academy of Fishery Science are intensifying their researches.
They have made a progress in drawing up an optimized mathematical model with main emphasis on correctly predicting and informing the fish resource quantities and main fishing grounds for the boats to catch a full load of fish each time they go out fishing.
They also direct efforts to building and completing a comprehensive database by observing and studying on the spot the ecological materials according to oceanic conditions, meteorological state and kinds of fishes and combining them with fishing activities in the period concerned.
