One of its key tasks is to enforce the law and handle violations of fishing vessels and fishermen.
Notably, local fishing vessels and fishermen are not allowed to illegally exploit marine species in foreign waters. All fishing vessels will be strictly handled if they violate and fail to comply with regulations, including failing to maintain cruise control equipment connection.
Regarding the management, monitoring, inspection and control of fishing vessel activities, the province has completed registration and marking of fishing vessels, granted fishing licences, and installed cruise control equipment. It has updated fishing vessel data into the national fisheries database; inspected and controlled fishing vessels entering and exiting berths. The local authorities will monitor fishing vessels operating at sea through the fishing vessel monitoring system, and control fishing vessels operating outside the province.
A fishing vessel with a length of 15 metres or more must dock at a designated port. In addition, the province has implemented an information and communication campaign to ensure transparency in IUU fishing combat efforts. It has provided diౠverse forms of popularisation and training for fishermen and related organizations on anti-IUU regulations.
Thanks to its efforts, Quang Tri has seen no fishing boats and fishermen violating foreign waters./.
