Fishermen in Soc Trang province are currently interested in the list of species allowed to be exploited and the methods of sanctioning and handling violations according to regulations when fishing vessels operate in waters contrary to the IUU regulations. They pay particularly close attention to information such as cases of violations when fishing vessels turn off or uninstall the cruise monitoring device, errors in recording the journey log, regulations on extension of fishing license, regulations on penalties for violations of professional qualifications and certificates for ship owners and crew members.
Thanks to the training session, fishermen in Soc Trang province have raised their awareness of compliance with the law on marine exploitation and can be more determined to join hands with fishermen nationwide to gradually remove the EC yellow card.
On this occasion, the Coast Guard Command Region 4 presented 30 gifts including money, medical bags, the national flag, and Uncle Ho's photo to fishermen in Tran De district.
