Seogwipo Coast Guard Rescues 3 Anglers Stranded on Rocky Shore

[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] On the evening of the 28th, three anglers stranded on a rocky shore while fishing were rescued by the Seogwipo Coast Guard.

According to the Seogwipo Maritime Police Station on the 29th, a report was received that around 7 p.m. the previous day, two men and one woman (residing in Jeju) fishing on a rocky shore about 50 meters near the sewage treatment plant in Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo City, requested rescue as rising seawater made it impossible to move to land.

The Seogwipo Coast Guard dispatched a rescue team from the local police station and safely rescued all three at around 7:31 p.m.

All rescued individuals were wearing life jackets, and upon arrival, the 119 rescue team conducted a medical check and found no health issues, allowing them to return home voluntarily.

A Seogwipo Coast Guard official said, “When fishing on rocky shores, please be sure to check the tide schedule for safety and wear life jackets.”
