Ninh Thuan (VNA) – The south central province of Ninh Thuan is rolling out measures to preventand combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, consideringit as one of its urgent tasks.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Le Huyen said that the province has focused onpopularising the Fisheries Law and IUU prevention and control regulations, whileworking closely with other coastal localities in putting an end to IUU fishing, helping to persuade the European Commission (EC) to remove its “yellowcard” warning against Vietnamese seafood.

In April, the province will strive to complete the review and listing of all localfishing vessels, along with the registration and licencing of all the vesselsas well as the issuance of food safety certificates and the installation of thevessel monitoring system (VMS) on all vessels.

Ninh Thuan is alsoapplying measures to strengthen control and inspection over local vessels at local ports, while ensuring the traceabilityof local seafood, Huyen said.

According to the NinhThuan Sub-Department of Fisheries, to date, the province has organised nearly110 training courses for more than 6,000 local officials and fishermen toprovide them with knowledge on legal regulations regarding fishing activities, and encouraged them to sign commitments to not violating foreignwaters during their operations.

The sub-department reported that to date, 100% of the offshore fishing vessels havereceived operational licences, while 99.5% of all the local fishing vesselshave got food safety certificates. At the same time, 99.7% of the local fleethave installed VMS, including all ships with a length from 24m.

The province has alsofinished the updating of fishing vessel data on the VNFishbase, it added./.
