This study aims to design a joint fishing zone in a certain area of the East Sea, in terms of fisheries cooperation between the Republic of Korea(ROK: South Korea) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK: North Korea), under the regime of the 200-nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone(EEZ). For better relation between the two Koreas, it is suggested to develop a joint fishing plan in a certain area of the East Sea. The size of the proposed fishing zone will be about 60-nautical mile wide and about 188-nautical mile long from the assumed territorial sea lines. To successfully establish the joint fishing zone, several systems such as management, organization, agreement parties, jurisdiction over fisheries vessels, surveillance, and enforcement will be needed. In conclusion, when set by both Koreas, the joint fishing zone could not only contribute to better relation of the two Koreas and rational utilization of fisheries resources, but might partially solve the current boundary disputes between both Koreas.
