Removing illegal gear faster to close the gap in ocean enforcement

A two-month administrative pathway leaves illegal fishing gear in the water long after enforcement action is needed. A South Korean pilot offers a measured solution: two dedicated 89-ton vessels completed eight deployments, recovering 100.1 tons of Chinese-style stow-net gear. This is not about faster paperwork alone, it is about linking legal authority with field-ready capacity and traceable downstream handling. The 2026 Fisheries Act amendment addresses the legal component; sustained impact depends on the operational readiness the pilot validated.
