Implementing the direction of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee at the online conference summarizing 6 years of implementing Directive No. 30-CT/TU of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee (term XIII) on urgent tasks and solutions to strengthen management, prevent and end the situation of fishing vessels and fishermen in the province illegally exploiting seafood in foreign waters, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee commented on a number of key contents.
Accordingly, it is required that departments, branches, units and People's Committees of coastal districts, towns and cities continue to thoroughly grasp and seriously implement Directive No. 45/CT-TTg dated December 13, 2017 of the Prime Minister on a number of urgent tasks and solutions to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing; Directive No. 17/CT-TTg dated June 24, 2021 of the Prime Minister on the inter-sectoral coordination mechanism between departments, ministries, branches and People's Committees of 28 coastal provinces and cities directly under the Central Government. In particular, resolutely direct and seriously implement each specific task assigned in Notice No. 389-TB/TU dated April 17, 2024 of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee. This must be considered an urgent, regular and continuous political task of the entire political system. Leaders must uphold a sense of responsibility, directly lead, direct, and take responsibility for the work of combating IUU fishing.
Media agencies and associations and organizations must step up propaganda, dissemination and legal education for fishermen, creating profound changes in awareness, sense of law compliance, and commitment to not violate the law. Mobilize people to promptly provide and reflect information related to violations for prevention and handling. Timely commend and commend collectives and individuals who effectively implement measures against IUU fishing, contributing to the replication of good models and good practices.
The Provincial Border Guard Command and the Provincial Police preside over and coordinate with agencies, units and localities to deploy strong measures to prevent and put an end to the situation of fishing vessels and fishermen in the province violating illegal exploitation in foreign waters.
The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development - the Standing Agency of the Provincial Steering Committee for Combating IUU Fishing, needs to strengthen the management and control of fishing vessels in accordance with the law. Strictly implement the registration, inspection, issuance of fishing licenses, installation and use of voyage monitoring equipment on fishing vessels; strictly inspect and control fishing vessels entering and leaving ports, monitor the volume of aquatic products loaded and unloaded through the port and trace their origin in accordance with regulations; ensure that 100% of fishing vessels must maintain connection to the VMS device from the time they leave the port until they arrive at the port... Focus on the peak, mobilize all resources to the maximum, promptly overcome existing limitations, prepare well for working with the EC Inspection Delegation for the 5th inspection (expected in June 2024)...
Review the coordination regulations between Binh Thuan province and relevant localities and with law enforcement forces at sea (Navy, Coast Guard, Fisheries Surveillance) to closely monitor, control, and promptly prevent violations, especially fishing vessels of the province operating outside the province.
The People's Committees of coastal districts, towns and cities continue to organize the dissemination and serious implementation of the Central and provincial directives on combating IUU fishing, enhancing the sense of responsibility of cadres, civil servants and public employees, especially the heads of functional units and local authorities in performing tasks on combating IUU fishing...
