The south-central province of Binh Thuan is ramping up its efforts to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, according to the local Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

The People’s Committee of the south-central province of Binh Thuan on July 1 asked agencies to strengthen supervision of fishing vessels that are likely to infringe on foreign waters as one of its drastic measures against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

The border guard force of Tien Giang province is one of the core forces in conducting information dissemination and persuading fishermen to strictly comply with regulations on seafood exploitation at sea and not infringing foreign waters as the province intensifies measures to curb illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
