Abstract
Realities of illegal fisheries in the central and southern coastal areas of the Yellow Sea were investigated. The study was based on the data released by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MOMAF) and Korea Coast Guard (KCG) during 1992-2002 and on questionnaire responses. Analyses of KCG data showed that the number of enforcements by the agency gradually decreased during 1998-2001 but rose in 2002. Analyses of the MOMAF data, however, revealed that illegal fisheries gradually increased during 1992-1996, but sharply increased after 1997, and that such illegal activities became more common in the East Sea beginning in 2001. MOMAF data also showed that although illegal fisheries began to increase in the Yellow Sea after 1997 they tended to decrease in the southern sea after 1998, with a high rate of small-bull trawlers (40.9%) that were non-sanction fisheries (38.1%). Questionnaire responses showed that illegal fisheries were mainly motivated by poverty (27.4%) and largely occurred in coastal fisheries (78.0%). Analyses of questionnaire responses also suggested that illegal fishing activities can be reduced through tougher laws regulating fisheries.
