Ports in the provincial capital of Quy Nhon have been packed with fishing vessels since early May, and all must now register instead of entering and departing freely.
Besides patrols, the proper handling of violations is an effective measure in improving awareness among those operating local fishing ships, especially smaller ones.
The four working groups have worked hard since April to ensure order and safety at Quy Nhon Fishing Port. Twenty-three violations have been handled, with fines issued totalling nearly 3,500 USD.
Binh Dinh province is fully on track, together with other localities around the country, to gradually crack down on IUU fishing./.
