Quang Tri intensifies measures to combat nearshore fishing violations

The central province of Quang Tri is intensifying efforts to prevent illegal fishing activities in nearshore waters as part of its broader campaign against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has conducted a crackdown on violations within the Con Co island marine reserve, which covers an area of 4,532 hectares with an outer buffer zone of 300 to 500 meters. Con Co island is located approximately 17 nautical miles from the mainland. The primary goal of this initiative is to enhance patrols and inspections to detect and handle any violations, ensuring that regulations against IUU fishing are strictly enforced.
