The southern province of Ben Tre is concertedly and effectively implementing legal regulations on fisheries as well as measures to fight against illegal, unreported, unregulated (IUU) fishing, with a determination to achieve the goal of having the European Commission remove its “yellow card” warning on Vietnamese seafood exports in 2024. It aims to have 100% of fishing vessels updated in the national fisheries database (VNFishbase); monitor and supervise 100% of those operating at sea through the vessel monitoring system (VMS); and inspect all with a maximum length of 15 m or more on operation conditions when arriving and leaving the port.
