On the 31st, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters provided 40 million KRW in research funding to the Gijang-gun Fisheries Resources Research Center for the "Gijang-type Seaweed Seed Cultivation and Distribution Project."

This support aims to increase the income of local fishermen who are facing economic difficulties due to rising coastal water temperatures caused by climate change.

Since 2019, the Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters has been supporting the "Gijang-type Seaweed Seed Cultivation and Distribution Project" for five years. They are also striving to develop seaweed varieties that can overcome the changing surrounding marine environment and to increase the income of local fishermen.
