Speaking at the meeting, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Tran Phuoc Hien emphasized that localities must focus on thoroughly handling cases of "3 no" fishing boats in February 2025 according to the direction of the Prime Minister.
Strictly handle vessels that violate the law, especially trawlers and vessels that lose connection to VMS equipment. The management board of fishing ports needs to strictly manage fishing vessels; monitor aquatic product output at the port, focusing on monitoring aquatic product output unloaded through the port to ensure reliability for traceability.
He suggested that media agencies in the province do better in propaganda work, advising people not to illegally exploit foreign waters.
