Quang Ninh - On May 16, Van Don special zone launched the implementation of a project to propagate and mobilize people to protect the marine and island environment in the 2026-2030 period.

The launching ceremony program was organized by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Van Don special zone in Ngoc Vung island, Van Don special zone.

Van Don Special Zone currently has more than 600 islands, possessing great potential for marine economic development, tourism and high-quality services. However, along with the process of socio-economic development, tourism, aquaculture and seafood exploitation are creating great pressure on the marine and island environment.
