Flotilla 21 popularizes information about IUU fishing prevention in Binh Dinh province

Leaflets are distributed to local fishermen.

The program, titled “Coast Guards stand side-by-side with fishermen,” was co-chaired by Sr. Col. Trieu Quang Quy, Political Commissar of the flotilla, and Nguyen Van Dep, Head of Hoai Nhon town Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Commission.

During the program, over 300 attendees, including local fishermen, were equipped with IUU fishing prevention and the Vietnam Coast Guard Law.

On the occasion, the unit presented 40 gift packages and 200 national flags to local fishermen.

The organizing board presents gifts and national flags to disadvantaged fishermen.

Hoai Nhon town in general and Hoai Huong ward in particular have long been typical examples for sustainable fishing practice in Binh Dinh province. Despite the large number of trawlers, fishermen and boat owners in Hoai Huong ward always strictly comply with the State's regulations and laws on exploitation and fishing, especially on preventing and combating IUU exploitation. No violations of the law or fishing waters have been recorded.
