VSA Chairman Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Huu Dung said that such development can brought about many benefits to Khanh Hoa such as creating raw materials for the food, pharmaceutical, and fertilizer industries and helping people get rich from the sea, thereby enhancing the presence of fishermen at sea to protect the nation’s sea and islands sovereignty.
At the event (Photo: VNA)He noted Khanh Hoa targets the formation of high-tech, high-value-added, and disease-free seaculture areas; and the protection of the ecological environment in association with tourism growth and national defence, among others. The province's current solution is to build a project on sustainable high-tech seaculture development by 2030 with a vision toward 2045, which is expected to implement a number of pilot advanced models in open sea areas as a basis for replicating industrial seaculture in association with environmental protection.
Key missions set for Khanh Hoa now is investing in infrastructure and forming farming areas with the application of scientific and technological advances, he said.
Participants, including businesspeople and those from the Norwegian Embassy in Vietnam, shared their experience in the field, particularly regarding the sustainable and tourism aspects.
