Ca Mau (VNA) – The southernmost province of Ca Mau is strengtheningmanagement over fishing vessels entering and leaving its estuaries, inan effort to fight illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

To date, 99 percent of local ships have been equipped with vesselmonitoring systems (VMS). However, there remains a problem that many installed deviceslose connection.

Therefore, the province has promoted educational activities to encourage fishermen to abide by regulations on IUU fishing combat, while creating favourable conditionsfor them to increase the efficiency of offshore fishing.
 
Strict punishments have been imposed on those intentionallydisconnecting VMS, and those infringing on foreign waters.

As a result, the number of the province’s fishing boatsviolating foreign waters has decreased sharply, which is considered a good signfor Ca Mau./.
