Description
Summary:Over 1,000 kilometers of islands and archipelagos make up Vietnam’s southern coastline. The following points are emphasized in the article based on surveys and secondary sources: (1) the benefits of the Southern Sea and Islands’ geographic location, environmental conditions, and natural resources; (2) the Southern Sea and Islands’ role in Vietnam’s marine economic development strategy; and (3) approaches to the sustainable development of the Southern Sea and Islands in Vietnam’s overall marine and island development strategy. The findings of the study indicate that the Southern Sea and Islands have abundant and diverse potential in terms of energy, maritime transport, ecosystems, and tourism, serving as a critical location for national security and defense for the region and the whole country. The development of marine and island values in the southern region of the country is a key component of Vietnam’s marine economic development strategy, which also emphasizes harmonious growth. Focusing on synchronized and harmonious actions is essential in the process of taking advantage of the Southern Sea and Islands’ benefits for the process of global economic integration. It is also important to promote the involvement of numerous economic sectors in the process of utilizing and sustainably growing the marine economy.
