Nghe An fisheries management and traditions
Overview
In Nghe An province, authorities are addressing critical infrastructure and equipment shortages within fisheries surveillance operations. The province aims to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, but current enforcement is hindered by a fleet of aging patrol vessels and workboats that are 20 to 30 years old. These vessels suffer from deteriorating machinery and navigation equipment, which limits speed and safety. Furthermore, the lack of dedicated mooring facilities forces vessels to dock at fishing ports, increasing the risk of damage from heavy maritime traffic.
Parallel to these regulatory challenges, coastal communities in communes such as An Chau, Hai Chau, Quynh Phu, and Quynh Anh continue to practice traditional net fishing methods. These generational techniques involve using specialized nets with top floats and bottom weights to trap fish and shrimp in shallow tidal flats, requiring precise coordination with tidal and wave patterns.
