This activity aims to raise awareness among the community in general and the people in particular about protecting and restoring endangered native fish species, developing commercial fish species, protecting biodiversity, and preventing organic pollution. It also contributes to ensuring livelihoods linked to tourism development for people living around the Giang and Lam rivers.

To protect aquatic resources, in the coming period, all levels, sectors, and local authorities need to continue strengthening propaganda and mobilization efforts, and strictly handle acts of exploiting marine resources using destructive methods; actively coordinate and promote the movement of releasing fish to replenish and develop aquatic resources in the area.
