Local fishermen back to the game after environmental incidentIt has been 2 years since the striking marine environmental incident in central provinces, including Quang Tri, late April 2016. Thanks to timely policies and measures from local authorities, fishing activities in the locality have gradually been bounced back. According to Tran Luong from Hai Lang Agriculture Promotion Office, Quang Tri province, local civil servants assisted local government in calculation of damages, helped the localities build new production models, and also provided technology transfer regarding the models. Lending for local fishermen to acquire fishing tools and upgrade vessels is among such policies. Tran Van Quang, Chairman of Gio Linh district People’s Committee, Quang Tri province said: "First of all, coastal communes always adhere to government’s policies on fishing activities.
