In Go Cong Dong district which houses 704 fishing vessels, to combat IUU fishing, local border guard stations have coordinated with relevant agencies to step up dissemination and training for organisations and individuals on the provisions of Vietnamese and international fisheries laws.
Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Huu Nham, Chief of Office of the provincial Border Guard Command, said that the Command has directed border guard stations and flotillas to intensify disseminations and provide leaflets to remind ship owners and fishermen to comply with the law when going to sea, avoid violating regulations against IUU fishing, and uphold responsibility in protecting sovereignty over the country’s sea and islands as well as the marine ecological environment.
According to the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, in the first quarter of 2024, it collaborated with the provincial Border Guard Command, the Naval Region 2 Command, the Coast Guard Region 3 Command, and other relevant agencies to hold two sessions to raise awareness of IUU fishing regulations for nearly 250 fishermen.
