Today, the sea plays an important economic, political and cultural role in maritime nations. Protecting the sea is also a defense of national interests. Vietnam has also issued the Vietnam Sea Strategy to 2020, and vision to 2030, which aims to address policies and actions to better understand the sea, islands, preserve natural resources, and environmental quality. Particularly, the marine economy is playing a key role in the Marine Strategy. This goal can only be achieved when we protect the marine environment.
