The south-central province of Binh Dinh is determined to have no local fishing boats violating foreign waters in the next six months before the European Commission (EC) review the “yellow card” against Vietnamese fisheries sector, according to Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Ho Quoc Dung.
Amid the strong growth of the fisheries sector, the preservation and restoration of fisheries resources and the protection of biodiversity have become a focus of the sector and coastal localities towards developing a sustainable, modern and responsible fisheries sector.
A seminar discussing opportunities for the Vietnamese fisheries sector brought by the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) was held in Toronto, Canada on March 21.
