Project & Tasks

We aim to collect and analyze data on discarded fishing nets to better understand the scale and impact of marine litter. This information will support creating a digital platform that offers insights for recycling initiatives and policy development. The findings will directly contribute to the reduction of waste entering the marine ecosystem.

Our team will evaluate different types of fishing materials to identify optimal recycling solutions. By engaging stakeholders from the fishery and plastics industries, we will promote sustainable practices for reducing plastic pollution. The goal is to create guidelines that ensure fishing nets are recycled rather than lost at sea.

Demonstration centers will be established to showcase how discarded fishing nets can be transformed into new products. These centers will collaborate with industry partners to implement recycling technologies and highlight practical, scalable solutions. The initiative will set a benchmark for the circular economy in Vietnam’s fishing sector.

We will launch awareness campaigns to educate the public and stakeholders about the environmental damage caused by marine litter. The campaigns will utilize various media platforms to encourage sustainable behavior and highlight recycling’s role in protecting marine ecosystems. Through active engagement, we aim to foster a societal shift towards reducing ocean pollution.

The results of our research will be widely disseminated to policymakers and key stakeholders to drive regulatory change. We will organize workshops and conferences to share insights and promote collaboration across sectors. This outreach will help shape policies that support sustainable fishery practices and plastic waste management.

To ensure long-term impact, we will train university staff and students in modern recycling technologies and processes. This capacity-building initiative will strengthen Vietnam’s higher education system and create a new generation of experts in environmental protection. By fostering innovation and collaboration, we contribute to a sustainable future for Vietnam’s marine ecosystems.
