These activities are ongoing and continue to contribute to marine environmental protection and the enhancement of safety awareness.

A Mokpo Coast Guard official stated, "We plan to continue promoting marine cleanup activities and coastal safety education in cooperation with related organizations," adding, "We will do our best to create a safe marine environment together with the public."
