Chodo is located between Goheunggun and Geomundo, 92.4km southwest of Yeosu, and subject to Samsan-myeon, Yeosu Si, Jeollanamdo. Topographically it is more adjacent to Goheunggun rather than Yeosu Si. There have been numerous stow net fishing boats in Chodo even up till 1960. However, since then, the fishery industry has been in decline. These days the community-based fishery is playing a pivotal role in Chodo. In a community-based on fishery, the Eochongye tries to manage and utilize the fishery in the right direction, at which the fishery is restricted to the most adjacent region of the fishing village within water level of 5 m (7m in Gyeongsangbukdo and Gangwondo and Jejudo). There are three Eochongyes in Chodo; Daedong, Uiseong and Jinmak, and each tries to reserve their own community(based on fishery) rights. The capture and collection in the community(based on fishery) can be usually practiced in terms of handicraft fishery or skin diving fishery; however, in Chodo, skin diving fishery is most popular. Skin diving fishery involves woman divers, who capture and collect aquatic products under water without any oxygen supplying device. Today, 24 women divers are working in Chodo. The major aquatic products in a community(based on fishery) are abalones, top shells, sea mussels and oysters. These products are alloted to the woman divers and Eochongye, and the ratio of allotments depends on the circumstances of Eochongye. This research is based on the on-site survey and literally discussion on investigating how the community(based on fishery) in Chodo is utilized and managed, and also the features of it.
