A reference app for fishing and sea foraging regulations that you can quickly check even while out at sea.
Fishing Closed Season is an offline information app that summarizes the periods during which the capture and harvesting of marine fishery resources in South Korea are prohibited, as well as the minimum size and weight limits, and the standards for permitted equipment such as traps and cast nets that non-fishermen can use for sea foraging.

• Displays closed season status as of today's date
• Guide to measurement methods for total length, anal length, body width, mantle length, etc.
• Local data accessible even without an internet connection
• Reference scale that can be calibrated with a card

Please Note
This app is not an official government app and does not substitute for legal advice or enforcement judgments. Permitted equipment may be further restricted by local ordinances, and exceptions by region and fishery, as well as notices issued by the Minister of Oceans and Fisheries or provincial governors, must be checked separately. Since the actual measuring tool displayed on the screen has device-specific errors and cannot measure fish species longer than what is shown, please use an actual fishing measuring tool in the field.
Please check the closed season, minimum size limits, and permitted equipment for sea foraging, traps, and cast nets offline.
