All the fishing vessels with a length of 15 metresor more are required to dock at the Cua Viet and Cua Tung – which are thedesignated fishing ports in Quang Tri, for implementing procedures related to the fight against IUU fishing. A total of 594 vessels traversing via the ports have beenstrictly examined.

In addition, 100% of the fishing vessels entering and exiting creeks at sea border stations have been alsoinspected.

The locality has also implemented aninformation and communication campaign to ensure transparency in IUU fishing combat efforts. It has provided diverse forms ofpopularisation and training for fishermen and related organisations on anti-IUUregulations.  

According to the provincial steering committee for IUU fishingprevention, authorised units will strengthen supervision via the VMS to preventfishing vessels from engaging in violations in offshore areas, especially inforeign waters./.
