Ben Tre steps up installation of fishing vessel monitoring devices

The Mekong Delta province of Ben Tre is focusing on finishing the installation of fishing vessel monitoring devices in a bid to fight illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

Since June 2019, the province has installed tracking devices on local fishing vessels. To date, the devices have been installed on 453 vessels with length of 24 meters or more, equivalent to 96.58 percent, and 875 boats with length of from 15 meters to under 24 meters, or 50.75 percent.
