A project on the protection of the marine environment was launched in
Phan Thiet city of the central coastal province of Binh Thuan on
September 25 to improve the awareness of fishermen and the community on
the work.
The Blue Ocean World, a joint project
between the Vietnam Environment Protection Fund and the Vo Viet Chung
company, saw various activities conducted including the cleaning of the
beach, the distribution of decomposable plastic bags, and the call on
fishermen not to use chemicals and explosives in their operation.
Representatives of the project also talked with locals on the harms caused by the pollution to their daily life.
In the time to come, the project will organise painting contests for
children in fishing communities and fashion designing competition on the
theme.-VNA
