(VOVWORLD) - The number of Thanh Hoa province's fishing vessels conducting illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing has greatly decreased thanks to efforts to strictly abiding by the European Commission's recommendations. The coast guard has worked hard to increase management of and communications to fishermen. Fishing vessels dock at Hoang Truong wharf after doing offshore fishing.
