About the agency

The Vietnam Fisheries Surveillance is a coastguard-type governmental agency which is nominally under the management of the Directorate of Fisheries of the Vietnam Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Formally established on 25 January 2013, it consists of both the fully-civilian and paramilitary sectors responsible for patrolling, checking, controlling, detecting and handling law violations and taking out fishery inspection in the waters that are under the jurisdiction of Vietnam.
