Gov’t okays coastal development project
The Government has approved a five-year training
project on sustainable management, protection and development of coastal areas
and islands nation-wide.
The project, that will span from 2010 to 15, aims to train marine management and
sea resources staff, update legal materials for ocean and island management and
protection and raise community awareness about sustainable resource exploitation
and protection of coastal areas. Under the programme training will be provided
to sea resources, marine management and commune-level coastal management staff.
Soldiers, navy officers and fishermen will also be among those to receive
training.
Successful models of sustainability will be introduced to participants and their
adoption encouraged.
Field trips will also be organised for local reporters, residents and fishermen,
to learn about sea ecology systems like coral and mangrove forests.
If implemented according to plan, by 2015 all communes and towns in coastal
areas will be educated about environmental problems affecting coastal areas.
Another focal point of the project will be to improve advertising of local sea
attractions. Local government in coastal areas will receive assistance to
develop and market local natural products and services for the tourism industry.
As part of the communications campaign, broadcasting hours and a greater
diversity of television programmes relating to protection of coastal areas will
be encouraged.
The project, which has a total budget of VND175 billion (US$9.7 million), will
draw 118 billion ($6.5 million) worth of funds from the central government and
the rest from local government contributions.
