In line with the Strategy for Sustainable Development of the Marine Economy and the provisions of the Planning Law, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has taken the lead in coordinating with ministries, sectors, and local authorities to establish a master plan for the sustainable exploitation and use of coastal resources. This is a new planning approach, being implemented for the first time in Vietnam, with a wide planning scope.

Implementing this plan will contribute to the development of Vietnam’s coastal areas into vibrant economic and cultural centers, serving as gateways connecting the mainland to the sea and providing a solid foundation for maritime expansion.
The approved plan also serves as a basis for further完善ing the legal framework, enhancing the effectiveness of comprehensive management of marine resources and the environment, along with strengthening national defense and security capabilities, ensuring national interests in the sea, and contributing to Vietnam’s vision of becoming a strong and prosperous maritime nation.
