Abstract: This article discusses Vietnam’s efforts to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and future possibilities, including an analysis of the various drivers and causes of IUU fishing in the country. While Vietnam’s efforts and determination in the fight against IUU fishing have been promoted since 2017 when the European Commission imposed a ‘yellow card’ on Vietnam’s fishing industry, the outcome has not been as expected. Among the measures proposed to improve the effectiveness of combating IUU fishing in Vietnam, the focus has been on strengthening the national legal framework. These measures include (i) drafting a law on fishing at sea; (ii) developing a code of responsible fisheries; (iii) amending the penal code to criminalise acts of IUU fishing; and (iv) increasing sanctions for IUU fishing violations. In addition, strengthening law enforcement is discussed as a necessary tool to effectively address IUU fishing in Vietnam.
