Abstract: This paper examines the legal framework and practices regarding sustainable marine fisheries exploitation management in the United States, and provides a comparative analysis with the current legal system of Vietnam. The article first explores the legal structure of the U.S. regarding sustainable fisheries exploitation, clarifying the basic legal frameworks, sustainable fishing exploitation principles, the state management apparatus, and penalties for violations. It then compares U.S. regulations with those of Vietnam, identifying challenges and gaps in policy enforcement in Vietnam. The paper also analyzes the impact of institutional frameworks, management capacity, fishery scale, and fishermen’s awareness on sustainable fisheries exploitation management in both countries. Based on these findings, the article offers lessons for Vietnam and suggests solutions to improve the legal framework and enforcement mechanisms for sustainable fisheries exploitation management in Vietnam.
