💡 A Word from JobPloy
This company is a small-scale business that harvests maesaengi and engages in octopus pot fishing in the clean waters of Jangheung, Jeollanam-do. Maesaengi harvesting is mainly concentrated in winter, and due to the nature of working directly in the sea, it can be heavily influenced by seasonal factors and weather. While it can be physically demanding work, there is a sense of reward in working in a clean natural environment and producing local specialties. Foreign workers should be well-acquainted with the characteristics of working in a marine environment and safety regulations, and be mindful of changes in work intensity according to the season.
