Under the coordinated program, the Squadron conducted communication activities for nearly 500 vessel owners, captains, and fishermen in Quang Phu ward and Tam Hai commune. These localities have the largest number of offshore fishing vessels in Da Nang and regularly operate in traditional fishing grounds.

The outreach content focused on Prime Minister’s Directive 45/CT-TTg dated December 13, 2017 on “Urgent tasks and solutions to address the European Commission’s warning on illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU)”; the tasks and operational results of fishing harbors and fishing villages in the Truong Sa special zone; and an introduction to activities under the program “The Vietnam Navy as a support for fishermen to go offshore and stay at sea”.
