Quang Tri (VNA) – The central province of Quang Tri is intensifying efforts to prevent illegal fishing activities in nearshore waters as part of its broader campaign against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has conducted a crackdown on violations within the Con Co island marine reserve, which covers an area of 4,532 hectares with an outer buffer zone of 300 to 500 meters. Con Co island is located approximately 17 nautical miles from the mainland.
The primary goal of this initiative is to enhance patrols and inspections to detect and handle any violations, ensuring that regulations against IUU fishing are strictly enforced.
Authorities have focused on handling violations such as the possession and use of prohibited substances, explosives, and electric fishing gear, as well as violating regulations on fishing zones and licenses for fishing in the reserve.
Challenges remain in managing small-scale fishing vessels, ranging from 6 to 12 meters in length, which often operate nearshore. Some captains of these vessels have not complied with regulations requiring them to anchor at designated ports and to submit fishing logs. In response, the Quang Tri Steering Committee on IUU Fishing has directed coastal localities to take concrete measures to ensure that small-scale vessels adhere to these requirements.
Additionally, the province has handled 378 small fishing vessels, ranging from 6 to 15 meters in length, that are operating without registration, inspection and fishing licenses.
The province has officially listed these 378 vessels with "three nos" and directed relevant departments and coastal localities to assist ship owners in preparing necessary documents for registration.
🌳 These measures are part of Quang Tri's ongoing efforts to comply with national and international regulations aimed at eradicating IUU fishing practices and ensuring sustainable marine resources management./.
The north central province of Thanh Hoa has intensified inspections at sea and fishing ports while working with owners of vessels that violated regulations on illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing as part of its efforts to clamp down on the illicit fishing.
Round-the-clock inspections have helped the central coastal province of Quang Tri make significant progress in its fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
The central province of Quang Tri is going to launch a peak campaign from July 1 to August 31 to increase patrols and examinations at sea while resolutely handling violations in an effort to fight illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, according to Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Huu Vinh.
