Coast Guard propagates the law to fishermen

Within the framework of the program, Coast Guard officers and soldiers directly disseminated and popularized the law on seas and islands to fishermen, focusing on regulations on preventing and combating illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing; organized dialogues, distributed leaflets; answered questions... thereby, helping fishermen better understand the boundaries of fishing areas, regulations on installing voyage monitoring equipment as well as legal procedures when fishing offshore.

As a result, many ship owners and captains have directly signed a commitment not to violate IUU, demonstrating a sense of responsibility, joining the whole country in removing the European Commission's "yellow card" for the Vietnamese seafood industry.

Along with propaganda work, the Command of Coast Guard Region 3 presented 500 national flags, 50 gifts including life jackets, medical bags, flashlights and essential necessities to fishermen.
