Tien Giang (VNA) – No cases of illegal, unreported, andunregulated (IUU) fishing have been recorded by Tien Giang province’s fishingvessels since the beginning of 2022, thanks to the Mekong Delta locality’s effortsto step up communications work to raise fishermen’s awareness, according to theprovincial Department of Fisheries.

Colonel Tran Van Le, Commander of the Tien Giang BorderGuard, said that before a ship goes out to sea, its owner must sign acommitment not to violate foreign waters, while its cruise monitoring devicewill be carefully inspected.

In addition, the unit also steps up dissemination on mass media,and deliver leaflets to fishermen, especially captains, requesting them to obeyregulations on IUU fishing prevention and control, and the Fisheries Law.

As of November 30,all the 958 operating fishing ships had been equipped with the vessel monitoring device.

In the coming time, local authorities will continue toclosely monitor the journeys of offshore fishing vessels, especially thoseoperating near the sea boundary, in order to detect and warn in a timely way any possibleIUU fishing-related violations, with an aim to develop sustainable andprofessional fisheries./.
