Abstract
Vietnam has a coastline stretching over 3,260km, and more than 3,000 islands large and small. These are favorable conditions for our country to develop marine economic sectors such as oil and gas, tourism, fisheries, etc. But the reality shows that those needs and interests have been depleting gradually. Marine resources and making the marine environment increasingly polluted seriously. The statistics show that every year, about 70% of waste discharged into the sea comes from the mainland when factories, factories, residential areas, hospitals, pesticides.... but a large amount of this waste has not been treated, through a drainage system that discharges directly into rivers, hundreds of rivers flow into the sea or discharge directly into the sea, carrying large quantities of sediments, plastics, chemicals, metal, oil sludge, even radioactive substances. Another reason is that the sanitation in coastal tourist areas has not been paid much attention, the waste has not been collected and treated thoroughly, and the people's sense of keeping environmental sanitation is poor, leading to the situation that throw rubbish, leftovers indiscriminately on the sea turning the beach into a huge dump.
