"IUU"

The Kien Giang Border Guard Command has directed all border checkpoints to carry out thorough inspections of every fishing vessel, ensuring that only those with proper documentation and compliance with vessel monitoring system (VMS) regulations are allowed to operate.

The Standing Board of the Party Committee of southern Kien Giang province has called for strengthening the Party's leadership in the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, part of a broader national effort to have the “yellow card” warning lifted by the European Commission (EC).
