A training course on legal regulations on seas and islands was held in the north central coastal province of Thanh Hoa on May 3, seeking to raise local fishermen’s awareness of abiding by the sea-related law and protecting sea resources.
A delegation from the European Parliament’s Committee on Fisheries led by its spokesman Gabriel Mato visited the northern port city of Hai Phong on November 1 to learn about the locality’s efforts in fighting illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
The great abundance of marine resources and age-old attachment to the sea are part of the long-standing ties between fishermen and the country’s sacred waters.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has affirmed that China’s statement on halting fishing activities for a limited period in the waters belonging to Vietnam’s sovereignty is valueless.
