Description: The overexploitation and unreasonable exploitation of resources in the sea and coastal areas is a great threat to many marine species, causing the natural imbalance of marine ecosystems. Moreover, the coastal strip of Vietnam lies under the East Sea wind, almost all year round the wind blows towards the coast of our country. Therefore, when there are environmental incidents in the East Sea such as oil spills, chemical spills from ships, incidents of oil rigs and pipelines at sea, etc., harmful effects to biological resources and the environment can be adversely affected. The sea and the coast will be very large. Therefore, in parallel with effectively exploiting the natural resources of the East Sea under our sovereignty to serve the development of the country, we need to prepare for a timely response to environmental incidents occurring at sea, especially in coastal areas - where communities live, with high biodiversity and high density of population activities.
In order to meet the demand for research, to serve the research, training and teaching of the environmental industry; contribute to raising awareness and protection of marine resources and environment for students of disciplines related to exploitation and protection of marine resources and environment, marine pollution.
