Đà Nẵng People’s Committeeand Agriculture and Rural Development Department are coordinating with the city’s Border Defense Forces Headquarter and relevant agencies to set up a Fisheries Control Office. They are also developing some coordination rules among forces; inspecting and controlling fishery activities under the law. The forces must be on duty all day and night to check fishing boats before and after they sail away from Thọ Quang fishing port.

Đà Nẵng’s Agriculture and Rural Development Department has teamed up with Border Defense Forces Headquarter and People’s Committee of districts to instruct 20 seafood export companies and nearly 400 fishermen cum owners or captains of the boats with at least 90 CV to carry out traceability.
