Vietnam is facing increasingly severe marine environmental pollution. Statistics from the Vietnam Administration of Seas and Islands showed that the country discharges about 0.28 - 0.73 million tonnes of plastic waste into the sea annually, ranking fourth among those discarding the biggest volumes of this type of waste. On December 4, 2019, the Prime Minister promulgated a national action plan on ocean plastic waste management until 2030. The plan’s goals include reducing marine plastic waste by 75%; collecting 100% of lost or discarded fishing tools; all coastal tourist areas, accommodation establishments and other tourism services not using single-use plastic products or non-biodegradable bags; and keeping all marine protected areas free of plastic waste by 2030.
