Fisheries Surveillance Team No. 4 under Coast Guard Region 3 Command, the Provincial Party Committee’s Commission for Information and Mass Mobilization, the People’s Court of Lam Dong province, and the People’s Committee of Phan Thiet ward, in coordination with Justice Newspaper, organized a “mock trial” to raise awareness about combating IUU fishing among more than 200 local fishermen on the afternoon of March 24 in Phan Thiet ward, Lam Dong province.

Through the proceedings of the mock trial, fishermen were able to directly observe the litigation process and gain a clearer understanding of the severe penalties imposed for IUU violations, thereby raising awareness of law compliance when going offshore and engaging in fishing activities.
