Binh Thuan works to stop fishing vessels from infringing on foreign waters

The People’s Committee of the south-central province of Binh Thuan has requested extra efforts to resolutely not let any local fishing vessels and fishermen violate foreign waters so as to fight illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. With over 7,800 fishing vessels and 44,500 labourers engaged directly in fishing activities, Binh Thuan is one of the leading localities nationwide in terms of fishing capacity and seafood output. The province has become the first locality in the country where all vessels have been certified seaworthy, according to the provincial Fisheries Sub-Department. This move facilitates the control of exploitation of aquatic resources and strictly handle fishing violations. VNA Photo: Nguyễn Thanh
