Eight Mekong Delta and south central coastal provinces in Vietnam have signed a coordination agreement on the management of fishing vessels in a bid to have the European Commission (EC)’s “yellow card” warning on illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing lifted.

Authorities of the southern province of Ba Ria -Vung Tau have revoked the operating licenses of 75 fishing ships for illegally fishing in foreign waters last year.
