In Vietnam in general, and Ca Mau in particular, although the development of the marine economy has achieved many positive results in recent times, there are still many limitations that need to be recognized.

The focus on marine economic development is not yet harmoniously linked with social development and environmental protection.

The development of the marine economy is still not commensurate with the existing potential and advantages, and is not a real driving force of the economy.

There is still a situation of over-exploitation and use of marine resources and environment, leading to the risk of depletion and degradation of aquatic resources and marine ecosystems.

Marine pollution is still serious in many places, plastic waste pollution has become an urgent problem...
