In addition to fulfilling its potential, the province has cooperated with regional countries to improve seafood management, protection and exploitation.
Developing hi-tech fishing teams and constructing sea ports and fish markets in the locality are key goals, he said.
To enhance local fish farming efficiency, the province aims to set up strong seafood enterprises, plan marine economic activities and zone off areas for local processing businesses.
