Lim Joon-taek, chairman of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives (Suhyup), visited the National Assembly on July 7 and delivered a plaque of appreciation to Rep. Chung Jeom-sik of the main opposition People Power Party, who worked hard to propose and pass the "Fishery By-products Recycling Act.”
According to the Suhyup on July 8, Chairman Lim Joon-taek said, "We deeply appreciate the Rep. Chung's interest and efforts in the recycling of fishery by-products. We hope that the legislation will ease the economic burden on fishermen and contribute greatly to the development of the fisheries industry."
The Act, which passed the plenary session of the National Assembly on June 29, includes government support for eco-friendly use of fishery by-products such as oyster shells, which were previously classified as waste.
