Nghe An protects marine resources
The coastal central province of Nghe An has undertaken numerous measures to protect local marine resources and promote sustainable fishing.

Specific fishing areas have been zoned off to reduce and eliminate near-shore fishing, particularly the catch of seafood types banned from exploitation.
The province also took measures to encourage and help local fishermen build large-capacity vessels, thus promoting off-shore fishing practice.
Annually, the coastal areas together with the seafood sector release young prawns and fish into the sea to recreate sea resources.
A number of off-shore fishing teams have been established in Quynh Luu district and Hoang Mai town to support one another during their off-shore fishing trips.
Nghe An has 82 km of coastline, and its waters are home to 267 fish species and 20 varieties of prawns.
