Implementing synchronously integrated coastal zone management strategy
The Prime Minister recently has signed an action plan for an integrated coastal zone management strategy covering all 28 coastal localities nationwide up to 2020.
The Government approved the integrated coastal zone management strategy until 2020, with a vision to 2030 in December 2014.
The strategy is built on the basis of respecting the laws of nature, being environmentally-friendly, and encouraging economic development suitable to the ecological conditions of each region with consideration of the capacity to adapt to climate change.
It will be implemented synchronously with clear definitions of responsibility of each ministry, sector and locality as well as with close coordination with the community, social organisations and other countries.
Under the plan, authorised ministries and localities will issue policies and regulations on the integrated coastal zone management strategy, use natural resources sustainably and preserve biodiversity.
Authorised ministries and localities will work to prevent and control pollution while mitigating losses caused by natural disasters and coping with climate change.
According to the plan, public awareness campaigns about the strategy will also be launched.
Besides, related sectors will investigate and assess the influence of waste sources from the mainland and at sea on the coastal zone environment, build a database on the waste and its impact, and suggest countermeasures.
Vietnam’s coast is more than 3,260km long in total, traversing 28 of the 63 provinces and cities. Coastal localities are home to nearly half of the country’s population.
