South Korean fishermen in Ulleng Island want an agreement with North Korea to solve the problem caused by Chinese fishermen in the East Sea, the Gyungbuk Daily reported on February 10.
Since North Korea and China launched a contract in 2010 allowing Chinese fishermen access to North Korean waters, several hundred Chinese fishing vessels have been catching squid in the East Sea Eun-deok fisheries. These vessels work with nets in order to catch as many squid as possible, which is prohibited in South Korea as it sweeps up all the squid, including very young ones.
