[신동아방송 인천= 윤민식 기자]해양경찰청(청장 김용진)은 캐나다 수산해양부(DFO) 주관, 4개국 8개 기관이 함께 한 달간 북태평양 공해상 불법어업 단속 활동을 통해 해양질서 수호와 수산자원 보호를 위한 국제공조에 기여했다고 14일 밝혔다.
이번 합동단속에 대한민국 해양경찰청은 캐나다 항공기 및 함정에 편승하여 합동 감시 및 단속 활동을 통해 공해상에서의 불법어업 근절이라는 공동목표 달성을 위한 실천적 사례로 국가 간 협력의 폭을 크게 확장하였다.
해양경찰청은 향후 자국 함정을 공해상에 직접 파견하여 불법어업 단속을 수행할 계획으로, 앞으로 북태평양 해역의 해양 질서 수호에 있어 더욱 주도적인 역할을 해나갈 방침이라고 밝혔다.
안성식 기획조정관은 “지속 가능한 수산자원 보호는 국제사회의 공동 책임이다.” 며, “대한민국 해양경찰은 유엔 해양법 집행기관으로서 더욱 적극적인 협력과 책임을 다해 나가겠다.” 고 강조했다.
The Korea Coast Guard(Commissioner General Kim Yong-jin) announced that it recently participated in a month-long joint operation against illegal, unreported, and unregulated(IUU) fishing on the North Pacific high seas from June to early July. The operation was led by Fisheries and Oceans Canada(DFO) and included Canadian Coast Guard(CCG), Japan Coast Guard(JCG), the Royal Canadian Mounted Police(RCMP), the United States Coast Guard(USCG), and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administraion(NOAA). This joint enforcement action was widely recognized as a model case of multilateral maritime cooperation for preserving marine order and protecting fishery resources.
※ Canada’s official agency’s name is Fisheries and Oceans Canada. However, the abbreviation, DFO stands for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
During the joint enforcement action, the Korea Coast Guard dispatched two officers, Senior Inspector Cho Sung-hun and Inspector Park Eun-ho, who boarded Canadian air and sea platforms, respectively, and actively took part in surveillance and enforcement. This participation greatly contributed to expanding the scope of Korea’s international maritime cooperation on site.
This multilateral effort to combat IUU fishing in the high seas is considered a practical and impactful example of achieving shared goals among partner nations and is being highly regarded within the international community as a model of cooperation.
The Korea Coast Guard plans to deploy its own vessels to the high seas in the future for direct participation in IUU fishing suppression missions. Through such efforts, the agency aims to take on a more proactive role in maintaining maritime order in the North Pacific.
Director General of Planning and Coordination Ahn Sung-shik emphasized, “The protection of sustainable fishery resources is a shared responsibility of the international community. As an implementing body of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Korea Coast Guard will continue to strengthen its role and cooperation in this field.”
