In 2023 the city of Yeosu designated part of the village fishing rights of the Deokchon fishing-village cooperative in Samsan-myeon as a recreational fishing and scuba-diving zone. Before entering the water, confirm the designated zone and the fishing-village cooperative. Some rocky shores are pilot areas for the ecological-rest (seasonal closure) program.
