Two ships that caught whales off the coast of Ulsan were caught on the coast yesterday (8th). It is illegal to catch whales directly if you are caught in the wrong net by catching other fish.

Reports of incidents and accidents, reporter Yoo Soo-Hwan will summarize.

large whale is dragged by the fishing boat.

I try to move the caudal fin without rest, but I cannot get out of the vicinity of the fishing boat.

[Whales, whales fast. I got it. Let's call it as soon as we get on the deck.]

Yesterday, around 11:10 am, two ships were illegally shot and caught whales at the 34km southeast of Ganjeolgot in Ulsan.

Haekyung immediately dispatched the patrol boat to investigate the dragon's ship, but could not find the whale in the ship.

Coast Guard is investigating whether there have been illegal catches of whales by collecting DNA from ships.

Under current law, illegal capture of whales can result in imprisonment for up to three years or a fine of up to 30 million won.
