The leaders of Binh Dinh Provincial People's Committee assigned the Provincial Police and Border Guard Command to direct forces to coordinate with the Southern provinces to investigate and handle organizations and individuals involved in IUU fishing violations; individuals who broker and connect fishing vessels and fishermen to illegally exploit in foreign waters.
On February 8, the leaders of Binh Dinh Provincial People's Committee issued instructions on the implementation of the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
Specifically, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD) is required to review and make a list of fishing vessels at risk of violating foreign waters, especially fishing vessels under 15m in length that regularly fish in southern fishing grounds.
Strengthen the 24/7 fishing vessel monitoring system to monitor, notify and coordinate the handling of fishing vessels that cross maritime boundaries, fishing vessels that lose VMS connection, and fishing vessels that do not turn on the voyage monitoring device (TBGSHT) when operating at sea (note fishing vessels from 12 to under 15m in length).
