Is climate change to blame for rise in South Korea fishermen deaths? | BBC News


In South Korea, there’s been a drastic spike in the number of fishermen being killed at sea.

Last year more than a hundred died after their boats capsized or sank.

The government has investigated, and it has pinpointed climate change as one of the main causes, alongside other factors, like the country’s ageing workforce.

The waters around Korea are warming far faster than the global average. This is causing fish to migrate – forcing fishermen to travel further and take bigger risks to catch enough.
