Reporting to the working group, a representative of the Department of Agriculture and Environment said that the province is maintaining a relatively tight fishing vessel management system. All 2,573 fishing vessels of the province have been registered on the National Fisheries Database; at the same time, 100% of the vessels are marked and have license plates in accordance with regulations.

The licensing of fishing continues to be accelerated by the authorities. Of which, 94.71% of the fishing vessels in operation still have valid licenses; this rate for the group of vessels 15 m or longer reaches over 98.5%.

Provincial Party Secretary Luong Nguyen Minh Triet learns about the management of fishing vessels and aquatic products at Dong Tac fishing port.

Ensuring technical safety and food hygiene on fishing vessels is also maintained at a high level. More than 95% of fishing vessels have been inspected for technical safety and are still valid, 97.53% of vessels 15 m or longer have food safety certificates for preserving seafood after exploitation.

Cases with missing documents are being urgently instructed to complete. Specialized sectors are also removing registrations for vessels that are no longer able to operate, helping to ensure that the province's fishing vessel data is always accurate, serving the inspection work well as required by the Central Government.

Provincial Party Secretary Luong Nguyen Minh Triet and his colleagues in the working delegation inspected the Dong Tac fishing port ( Phu Yen ward).

Currently, the province has completed 100% of the installation of VMS devices for all fishing vessels 15 meters or longer. Thanks to that, the authorities can promptly detect and handle cases of fishing vessels violating the route or losing connection while operating at sea.

Since the beginning of the year, four representative offices for fisheries inspection and control at the fishing ports of Dong Tac, Dan Phuoc, Tien Chau and Phu Lac have inspected 100% of vessels entering and leaving the port, while fully monitoring the unloading of aquatic products and confirming the origin of aquatic products according to the correct procedures, ensuring that all aquatic products entering the consumption chain have legal origins.

At the meeting, representatives of the Department of Agriculture and Environment recommended that provincial leaders pay attention to investing in upgrading fishing ports, adding human resources at fishing ports and fisheries control forces to ensure inspection and control work; at the same time, soon have unified software to serve control and management activities in a more synchronous and convenient manner.

Concluding the meeting, Provincial Party Secretary Luong Nguyen Minh Triet acknowledged the efforts of units and localities in implementing the work of combating IUU fishing. The propaganda work has been well implemented, fishermen have grasped the regulations...

According to Provincial Party Secretary Luong Nguyen Minh Triet, now is the peak time to implement the work of combating IUU fishing, so it is necessary to arrange more human resources for the Fishing Port Management Board, the Department of Fisheries and Seas and Islands to ensure operations. The Provincial Party Secretary also requested local leaders and units to listen to the thoughts and aspirations of fishermen to have appropriate ways to propagate, mobilize and implement regulations on combating IUU fishing.
