At the propaganda session, the Reporter of the Command of Coast Guard Region 3 disseminated to the delegates the key contents of the legal provisions on preventing and combating illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing; the current situation of security and safety of our country's seas and islands; the basic contents of the Law of the Sea of Vietnam, the Law on the Coast Guard of Vietnam, the Law on Fisheries 2017; regulations on sanctions for IUU violations of some countries with maritime areas adjacent to Vietnam.

This activity contributes to promoting the combined strength of the great national unity bloc for the cause of protecting sovereignty, maintaining security, order, safety and sustainable economic development in the seas and islands of the Fatherland. It also helps fishermen grasp the scope of Vietnam's sea areas, consciously comply with the law when fishing offshore in adjacent and overlapping sea areas, and join hands with functional forces to remove the "yellow card" of the European Commission (EC).
