Binh Dinh (VNA) – The fisherysector of central Binh Dinh province has employed solutions to prevent localfishermen from violating waters of regional countries, helping deal with the“yellow card” issued by the European Commission (EC), a provincial official hassaid.

Tran Van Phuc, Deputy Director of theprovincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said local agencieshave increased inspections of fishing activities at the three largest ports ofQuy Nhon, De Gi and Tam Quan.

Over the past three months, up to 5,896fishing boats and more than 20,000 tonnes of seafood were monitored by theprovincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Phuc said captains have to present relevantdocuments to competent agencies, inform them about where they will fish beforesetting sail. They also have inform agencies of their return to port at leastan hour before docking.

Local fishermen have committed to notviolating foreign waters while fishing. Training courses have also been held toraise their awareness of the “yellow card” warning.

Those who violate the commitments could getadministrative fines, no longer receive support from the Government and havefishing licenses revoked for six months.

The EuropeanCommission has noted Vietnam’s efforts in addressing illegal, unreported andunregulated (or IUU) fishing and its inspectors will return to Vietnam inJanuary next year to review progress in addressing its ‘yellow card’ warning.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said despiteconsiderable achievements, Vietnam still struggles with IUU, especially incontrolling fishing activities and origin of fishing catches.

Vietnamese authorities have admitted that the country lacks thebudget to fit all fishing vessels with proper tracking equipment. They alsosaid that despite the country’s integration of the EC’s recommendations intoits 2017 fisheries law, regulations are lacking at local level.
