Vietnam Fisheries Surveillance (Vietnamese: Kiểm ngư Việt Nam - KNVN), still alternatively using the former official name Vietnam Fisheries Resources Surveillance and colloquially recognized by its Vietnamese short name Kiem Ngu (KN, lit. 'Fisheries Surveillance'), is a coastguard-type governmental agency which theoretically falls 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-civillian 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.[1] The agency is expected to coordinate with Vietnam People's Navy, Vietnam Coast Guard, Vietnam Border Guard and the Vietnam Maritime Militia to help preserve Vietnam's maritime interests, especially in terms of maritime security, illegal fishing and maritime disputes.
