This study aims to analyse the actual conditions of Korean fishing boot being seized in Japan’s EEZ and to provide the countermeasures against that problem.
According to the analysis of that actual conditions, Korean fishermen are trespassing Japan’s EEZ in which fishery resources are abundant because of exhaustion of fishery resources and polluted water in Korean coastal seas. In the past, that behavior was not illegal. Now however, it became illegal with the effectuation of the United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea(1994) and the Korean-Japanese Fisheries Agreement (1999).
In order to resolve that problem on a long-term basis, it is necessary to turn over national fishery policy, to provide fishing people with other means of living, and to establish the Korean-Japanese cooperation system of fishery management. Most of all, it is urgent to mitigate and remit a penalty which was executed in Japan, to amplify personal and material resources need to guide and control fishery, and to construct a close cooperation system between the National Maritime Police Agency and the Ministry of Maritime and Fisheries Affairs. |
