Vietnam works towards responsible, sustainable fishery sector

Vietnam’s fishermen, businesses and government have joined hands in implementing fishing regulations, in a bid to have the European Commission (EC)’s illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing “yellow card” removed.

In the decision issued in March this year by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, the domestic fishery sector aims to reduce the exploitation volume from 3.8 million tonnes to 2.8 million tonnes.

Besides, ministries, agencies, sectors and localities were requested to synchronously carry out solutions to combat IUU fishing, towards a sustainable fishery sector./.
