During the 180-day peak fishing period, the Quang Ngai border guard set up a taskforce to directly supervise the process of controlling, registering, and verifying people and fishing vessels entering and leaving 10 border checkpoints. Border guard posts have strengthened patrols at sea, to prevent and combat IUU fishing.
Quang Ngai province has more than 3,200 fishing vessels with a length of 15 meters or more. It has completed updating data on all fishing vessels into the national fisheries database. More than 77% of vessels have received fishing licenses, and over 98% have installed cruise equipment.
Quang Ngai considers the fight against IUU fishing as a key task for the entire political system, from the provincial to the grassroots level. It is determined to join efforts to end fishing violations and ensure compliance with international regulations./.
