Vietnam’s 3,260km coastline is home to incredible marine biodiversity, including over 2,000 fish species and 400 coral varieties! But climate change, pollution, and unsustainable fishing threaten these underwater treasures.
Inspiring marine protected areas like Nha Trang Bay and Cu Lao Cham are leading the way in conservation. Local communities are partnering with organizations to restore coral reefs, establish sustainable fishing practices, and reduce plastic pollution in coastal waters.
Youth-led beach cleanup initiatives across Vietnam have removed thousands of kilograms of waste from shorelines, protecting marine life from deadly plastic entanglement and ingestion.
