The Ba Ria-Vung Tau Trawl Fishery Improvement Project (FIP Vung Tau) has been identified as a exemplary public-private partnership (PPP) model in Vietnam’s fisheries sector. The project contributes to combating illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, building a transparent and responsible harvesting-processing value chain, and working toward meeting international standards and deeper integration into the global seafood supply chain.

In response to the need to tighten management of fisheries exploitation activities, Quang Tri Province has recently established two inter-agency control teams that will operate regularly in the province’s sea areas to strengthen patrols, inspections, and monitoring, as well as to prevent and strictly handle illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities.

After more than four months of implementing a high-intensity campaign against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, Thanh Hoa Province has achieved many positive results, gradually bringing fisheries management into a more orderly framework and contributing to nationwide efforts to have the “yellow card” on seafood lifted at an early date.
