The Seoul Institute has conducted fish surveys every five years since 2002, and the city now conducts regular biannual surveys each April and October to monitor environmental changes and the restoration of the river's natural ecosystem. The collected data will be analyzed by experts to identify species and population sizes, supporting efforts to improve water quality and enhance the Han River's ecological resilience.
