Fisheries surveillance force supports fishermen in Lam Dong

On August 23, the Fisheries Surveillance Squadron No. 4, part of the Coast Guard Region 3 Command, organized a "Coast Guard Accompanies Fishermen" event in Tien Thanh Ward, Lam Dong Province. The purpose of the program was to educate fishermen on the Fisheries Law and the Law on Vietnam Coast Guard, as well as to inform them about the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

Authorities emphasized the importance of law-abiding behavior, such as avoiding illegal fishing in foreign waters and maintaining vessel monitoring systems.

At the event, the fishermen received national flags and pledged not to violate IUU regulations. The Fisheries Surveillance Squadron No. 4 also presented 40 gift packages to the families of policy beneficiaries and fishermen who were facing difficulties. Additionally, they provided medical examinations, health consultations, and free medicines to the participants.

In another part of Lam Dong Province, in Phuoc Hoi Ward, the same Fisheries Surveillance Squadron No. 4 distributed national flags, personal life jackets, and flashlights, along with informational leaflets, handbooks, and legal materials to fishermen from 10 fishing vessels at La Gi Fishing Port. The activities were aimed at raising awareness and encouraging responsible behavior among fishermen, ensuring they adhere to the regulations when conducting their fishing activities.

The Fisheries Surveillance Squadron No. 4 expressed its commitment to continue legal education, offer support to fishermen facing difficulties, and ensure their safety while at sea, helping them develop their livelihoods lawfully.
