On the afternoon of December 26, Mr. Bui Tuan Son - Head of Ha Tinh Fisheries Sub-Department - said that in the past time, the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) seafood exploitation has been focused on by the whole country in general, and Ha Tinh functional sector in particular.
In which, promoting propaganda is carried out on mass media, distributing leaflets, broadcasting on loudspeakers, organizing conferences...
Functional forces, mainly the border guard force, have strengthened patrols, controls, detected and handled violating fishing vessels. However, there is still a part of fishermen who intentionally violate and have just been arrested by the border guard force.
On December 15th, Ha Tinh Border Guard forces discovered and handled 4 cases/4 trawlers of Thanh Hoa fishermen violating regulations when fishing in Ha Tinh waters.
Those are ships: TH 92164 owned by Mr. Nguyen Van Ba with 4 crew members; ship TH 90603 TS owned by Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh with 7 crew members; ship TH 91888 TS owned by Mr. Le Van Hien with 5 crew members; ship TH 93779 TS owned by Mr. Nguyen Van The with 7 crew members.
In general, in the past month, the Ha Tinh Border Guard force has detected, arrested, and handled dozens of violations. In which, Thien Cam Border Guard Station 4 cases/4 vehicles; Border Guard Flotilla 102 with 4 cases/4 vehicles; Cua Sot Border Guard Station 6 cases/6 vehicles; Lach Ken Border Guard Station 1 case/1 vehicle...
All violating ships are strictly fined, with fines ranging from 22 million VND - 70 million VND/case.
We have organized propaganda on many information channels for many years. It is not true to say that fishermen do not know the regulations on illegal seafood exploitation now.
It is certain that for profit, they intentionally violate. Currently, the new regulations on penalties for violations in seafood exploitation are very heavy, so I believe that in the coming time, along with strengthening patrols by functional forces, fishermen will well comply with regulations when fishing," Mr. Bui Tuan Son shared.
According to the Ha Tinh Border Guard Command, in response to the peak campaign before, during, and after the traditional Tet holiday, coastal units and professional forces have been, are and will continue to focus on drastically and responsibly detecting, preventing, and handling acts of illegal, unreported, and unregulated seafood exploitation.
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
