Such vessels are mostly in Rach Gia city and the districts of Chau Thanh, Kien
Hai and Phu Quoc.
Realising the Prime Minister’s directions on fighting IUU, the province has
taken synchronous measures. The Kien Giang Radio & Television built a column
“Fishing in Vietnam’s exclusive waters”, a live dialogue “Preventing, mitigating
and eliminating IUU” and many news items themed “Kien Giang raises public
awareness of preventing fishermen from fishing in foreign waters”.
Kien Giang newspaper and 15 radio and television stations of cities and
districts popularised the Prime Minister’s Dispatch No.732/CD-TTg and Directive
No.45/CT-TTg on dealing with IUU warning.
The province offered training courses to cultural and television officers on
raising public awareness of the dispatch and directive, the Fishery Law 2017,
guidelines on writing itinerary, and regulations on dealing with administrative
violations. It also issued over 7,000 leaflets to make it easier to identify
violated vessels.
The local competent agencies also inspected 1,132 fishing vessels with 12,452
members and issued thousands of leaflets to captains and crew.
As a result, nearly 100 administrative violation cases were dealt with while
over 120 vessels were found to violate regulations on writing itinerary and
marking fishing boats.-VNA
