해양수산부 보도 자료 분석에 기초한 지역별 해양 R&D 이슈 식별에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify regional maritime R&D issues and and to draw policy implications based on the analysis of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOE) press release in Korea. Based on the analysis of 829 press releases provided by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries from 2013 to 2021, this study drew implications for Korea’s maritime and fisheries policy. The results of this study show that among the regional issues in the marine and fishery sector, issues such as jellyfish, red tides, and high/low water temperatures, in which damage to fishermen are concentrated during a specific period, have been raised relatively frequently. This study also found that many policy issues were not resolved for a long time although the issues were discovered and recognized as policy issues from 2013 to 2021. Finally, the findings of this study show that issues related to marine protected animals (neophocaena phocaenoides, spotted seal) have emerged in recent. It implies that the importance of policies regarding marine environment protection is growing.
