Phu Yen (VNA) - The coastal province of Phu Yen,one of the localities with large fishing boat fleets in the south-central region,has seen no violations of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishingregulations over the past nearly five years.

The achievement is attributable to a range of solutions rolledout concertedly in the province to raise public awareness of the matter,contributing to accelerating the removal of the European Commission (EC)'s “yellow card” warning against Vietnameseseafood.

The provincial People’s Committee reported that up to 98.6% ofthe 1,925 fishing boats in the province have installed vessel monitoringsystems (VMS) in line with a government decree.

Local competent agencies are urging the installation for theremainders, and taking measures to handle wrongdoings, including contactcut-off at sea and unreported fishing.

The provincial fisheries sub-department’s IUU fishing monitoringteams conducted 226 inspections, and detected three cases of violations, whichwere fined over 10 million VND (414 USD) so far this year.

Forces from the provincial Department of Agriculture and RuralDevelopment and border guards have also joined the efforts against IUU fishing.

Most recently, the province coordinated with the Command of the VietnamCoast Guard Region 2 in an inspection over more than 20 fishing vessels, andfound that most of which have followed the regulations.

To further support local fishermen, Phu Yen organised fiveconferences on IUU fishing combat, and delivered an appeal letter by theChairman of the People’s Committee, calling on them to fight IUU fishing, amongother activities. /.
