According to the document, inspections need to be stepped up in La Gi township, Phu Quy island district and Ham Tan district before, during and after the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
The handling of violations of fishing regulations, which has yet to be done, must be completed before April 30, 2024, the document said.
It also mentioned round-the-clock work by the provincial vessel monitoring centre, and stepping up inspections and supervisions over fishing boats at ports, estuaries and islands.
The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development reported that 113 fishing boats are being monitored as they are at high risk of illegally operating in foreign waters. Border guard stations have also been on duty round the clock at six main sites via the monitoring system./.
