The provincial People'sCommittee has issued regulations on renovating aquacultureponds and lagoons.
According to Le Van Su, Vice Chairman of the provincialPeople's Committee, the decision clearly defines the responsibilities of statemanagement agencies, organisations and aquaculture production businesses inenvironmental protection activities, thereby improving the productionefficiency combined with environmental protection.
