Hwang Jong-woo, Minister of Oceans and Fisheries, urged, "Recently, casualties caused by falling into the sea during the summer season are rapidly increasing. As a life jacket is the most basic safety equipment to protect lives in an emergency, I hope that the public, as well as fishermen, vessel workers, anglers, and marine leisure users, will definitely wear life jackets." This is the minister's stance on the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announcing the 'Summer Marine Accident Prevention Measures' consisting of simultaneous inspections of multi-use vessels and life jacket wearing campaigns to mark the summer season when marine fishing and leisure activities are concentrated. However, it is difficult to avoid harsh criticism that it is a 'belated administration' that sat idle while casualties surged sharply over the past few years and then hurriedly came up with measures only when the peak accident season arrived, and a 'showy public relations campaign' lacking field effectiveness.
The most serious blind spot is that although the statistical figures presented by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries themselves prove the gap in safety management so far, the content of the measures is merely a cliché patchwork of past failed policies. According to the ministry's data, the number of casualties from summer safety accidents surged from 11 in 2023 to 15 in 2024 and 23 last year, more than doubling in just two years. Despite the fact that danger signals in the field have heightened every year, the measures presented this year also copied one-off measures that come out every summer season by only changing the titles of press releases, such as the 'safety equipment wearing movement,' 'private-public joint drills,' and 'simultaneous inspections.' Precise analysis of the cause of the surge in casualties or budget investment plans to solve structural problems such as vessel aging and lack of field personnel are entirely absent.
In particular, the 'family participatory campaign' that the ministry claims it will deploy regarding the mandatory wearing of life jackets by fishermen, which takes effect on July 1, is drawing cynicism from the field. The idea of receiving photos of fishermen wearing life jackets with their children and giving away prizes is the epitome of desk administration detached from the reality of marine fisheries workers who work in rough seas at the risk of their lives. Fundamental alternatives, such as 'supplying customized convenient equipment' or improving the working environment to remove obstacles caused by wearing life jackets inside narrow fishing boats or during net-hauling operations, were omitted. Instead, it seems eager to package achievements with administrative convenience-oriented pressure of "a fine of up to 3 million won for non-compliance" and an exhibitionary photo contest.
In the end, these summer prevention measures by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries are typical of a hollow, performance-oriented welfare and safety administration. The plan to jointly inspect 150 passenger ships and 200 fishing boats within just a few months is also highly likely to end up as a superficial visual inspection centered on numbers. The government must immediately stop performance building through showy prize events or crackdowns on fines. Instead, it should fully provide functional life-saving equipment for work to poor petty fishermen free of charge and concentrate administrative power and budget on building practical safety infrastructure such as real-time fall detection systems.
