During my visit to Daewangam Park, Dong-gu, Ulsan, South Korea, I was struck by its beautiful rocky coastline and turquoise-blue waters. In these waters, fishing boats offer shared excursions where individuals can pay for a spot on board, a common practice in Korean coastal waters. Online groups are often used to share departure times and real-time updates on the catch, which frequently includes large mackerel, yellowtail, cutlassfish, and anchovies.
In contrast to boat fishing, haenyeo (해녀), traditional female divers, still collect shellfish and other marine resources in these waters without breathing apparatus, maintaining a centuries-old coastal practice.
