The Coast Guard has caught the captain who disguised the fishermen as sailors and illegally operated in the far sea outside the territorial sea.

As the weather changes from moment to moment in the distant sea, safety concerns are high, so caution is needed.

Fishing is in full swing next to the ship anchored in the sea overflowing with waves.

Fishermen catch fish as a hobby, not a fisherman.

Fishing for fishing as a hobby is only possible in 12 nautical miles inside the territorial sea, but illegal fishing was done by going all the way to the exclusive economic zone outside the territorial sea.

[Normal fishing boat captain] Let's go fishing. These days, it's illegal to go fishing and pick up fishermen, but there's a lot of talk to each other now.]

Nine illegal fishing boats caught have set sail more than a thousand times, as if they were fishing after writing a labor contract by deceiving a fisherman as a one-day sailor.

I was even trained to ride a ship as a sailor in preparation for the crackdown.

Illegal fishing is a place where the weather changes from time to time, making it difficult for professional sailors.

Illegal fishing was always carried out where there was a risk of accidents.

[Lee Ji-hye / Ulsan Coast Guard Investigation Division: This is the biggest reason for concern about major casualties because it is difficult for our security vessels to respond because it is going to long-distance waters and there are many difficulties in searching and rescuing at the beginning]

Illegal long-distance fishing, where the angler's wrong desire to catch a big fish and the captain's wrong desire to ignore safety if money is enough.

It is time for a strong crackdown and punishment to prevent accidents.
