According
to international documents, biodiversity in the Southeast
Asia sea at a rich level than any other place in the world with
thousands of species of aquatic plants and fishes and shrimps.
This is
an important protein source in Southeast Asia
in particular and the world in general. According to a study in 2013, fish
production accounted for 22% in Asia, 40% of tuna spawning in the world living
in the South China Sea . The fishery industry
is worth billions of dollars. It is also the prospect of a region where is
estimated to have giant reserves of oil and gas.
But
billions of people in the South China Sea are
threatened with fishing acts such as eradicate prevalent, using of cyanide and
indiscriminate trawling... Many seafood species have turned lost, 70% of the
coral reefs in the South China Sea , the
environment is important to the survival of aquatic species, are in poor
condition.
The list
of endangered species in the South China Sea is
on forever but the rough infringements in this fragile ecosystem are still
continued. Green sea turtles are endangered species, hawksbill are in danger of
disappearing altogether but poaching of turtle rare breed meat is still taking
place and quite popular. Millions of sharks are killed for their fins only
serve hedonistic fun of some countries in the region, tunas are often
overfishing. In addition, activities of land reclamation, turning rocks into
“islands” of the Chinese government is tampering seabed in large-scale. The
scientists said that this activity is causing large-scale destruction to the
biodiversity of the region and will not be devastated at restoring the
ecological balance throughout the region. Recently, on April 13, a spokesman
for the Philippines Foreign Ministry accused the construction of China
As an
Eastern coastal country with a long coastline, Vietnam South China
Sea to the economic and political and social requirements of our
country, the ministry in charge beside functions of management, promoting potentials,
protecting, nourishing marine resources around of our country, it is also the
leading agency in international cooperation and development, help protecting
the homeland’s maritime sovereignty.

with over 3,000 kilometres of coastline, Vietnam has significant potential to exploit ocean energy towards developing inshore area economies.
green energy in general and ocean energy in particular is playing an increasingly important to European countries.
developing technology and resources for ocean energy, which is considered by the EC as one of five focus development areas for a “green economy”, creating more jobs in coastal areas.
Vietnam has adopted a marine economic development strategy with the goal of raising the proportion of sea-based sectors to 53-55 percent of the national GDP and 55-60 percent of export revenues by 2020.
Many littoral countries, including Vietnam, have focused development on sea tourism industry.
Vietnam has more than 3,260km of coast line and more than 3,000 islands nation-wide. The country also counts over 100 sea ports, 48 bays and 100 river mouths.
Our marine economy has three important aspects, the potential held within the natural resources, the geo-economic and the geo-strategic positions.
Exploitation of the sea for the country’s economic development plays an important role in socio-economic development, while it also offers the country security and defence.
Due to various circumstances, the country’s development of its marine resources has not yet reached its economic potential. Development of the marine economy should not stop at just fishing and aquaculture but should also promote processing, consumption, export and marine conservation.
the Party and Government should pay more attention to investing in marine scientific research in an effort to take full advantage of the country’s marine potential. It may be a little late now, but I think that it’s better late than never.
