Abstract

Vietnam is a coastal country located in the central region of Southeast Asia, Vietnam has a sea area connecting the important sea transport route between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, especially the East Vietnam Sea are oil and container shipping routes from other countries to Japan, South Korea and China, which are consuming huge amounts of energy. Vietnam is in a position to have a potential for marine economic development such as shipbuilding, sea transport, port development, and waterworks, marine product exploitation, marine and oil and gas resource exploitation, marine tourism and islands, sea services, and other related industries. With such a potential position, the exploitation of the sea and the protection of the marine environment is an extremely important issue.

Highlights

  • Vietnam is a country with a coastline longer than 3200 km and the economic region of Vietnam has acreage larger than 1.000.000 km2 with lots of rich and varied resources such as seafood, coral

  • Marine environmental pollution leads to coastal erosion: Nam Dinh has more than 25 km of dikes that are threatened by erosion

  • If not knowing how to exploit and protect the marine environment appropriately, it will lead to serious pollution of the marine environment

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Vietnam is a country with a coastline longer than 3200 km and the economic region of Vietnam has acreage larger than 1.000.000 km with lots of rich and varied resources such as seafood, coral.
