Participants presented reports on promoting marine trademarks, opportunities for Vietnam to successfully implement its sea strategy, the potential effects of climate change, island locality development orientations, and exploiting the sea’s potential for economic and tourism development.
The forum gave managers, scientists, provincial leaders, and domestic and international organisations and businesses a chance to share information and experiences in capitalising on marine-based economic potential, protecting the ecological environment of islands and archipelagos, and improving the reputation of local marine trademarks.
It also helps raise public awareness of the role of marine areas in national construction and defence, and honour the trademarks of Vietnam’s islands and archipelagos.
Ha Tinh province also hosted the fourth Sea Economic Forum on the same day.
