Binh Dinh Department of Aquatic Resources Exploitation and Protection has planned out implementation of Directions No. 689/CT-TTg by Prime Minister on measures to prevent and reduce cases of Vietnamese fishermen and fishing boats captured by foreign forces, ensuring political security and social orders at the nation’s marine borders, says the department. Authorized agencies and local governments should hold more training courses about marine laws, Vietnam’s Fisheries Law and distribute 2,000 maps of Vietnam’s marine borders to fishermen who live at coastal areas all over the province. The fishermen are encouraged to commit themselves not to violate waters of other countries; are instructed and assisted to establish, strengthen solidarity team of fisheries exploitation.
15 fishing boats and 132 fishermen in Binh Dinh were captured by foreign forces in 2011.
