Quang Nam strives to shed “yellow card” status

Nui Thanh district, boasting the largest offshore fishing fleet in the central province of Quang Nam, is committed to having the "yellow card" warning lifted by the European Commission (EC). Join us to see the locality’s efforts in this regard.

Nui Thanh is home to a formidable fleet of over 1,900 fishing vessels of various types. Local fishermen are targeting total catch of 48,000 tons of seafood this year.

To achieve this goal and improve overall fishing practices, the district is adopting several key measures. All offshore fishing vessels are now equipped with a comprehensive suite of technology, including positioning systems, formatting machines, radars, and GPS devices.

The fleet of vessels have to undergo rigorous inspections by border guards and relevant authorities before setting sail, ensuring their compliance with regulations and best practices.

These efforts in Nui Thanh contribute to Quang Nam's broader goal of catching a total of 195,000 tons of seafood this year. The province is spearheading a program to modernize fishing vessels and ensure all offshore vessels are equipped with essential navigation tools like Icom and GPS devices./.
