At the same time, orienting the content and methods of propaganda for the sea and islands nationwide in 2024 and the following years.
Thereby, in order to build and develop the marine economy to contribute to the national economy and solve international issues, it is necessary to unify thoughts and perceptions about the position, role and special importance of the sea for the cause of building and defending the Fatherland; encourage scientists to promote scientific research on the sea and islands; at the same time, contribute to refuting the activities and arguments of hostile forces that take advantage of issues related to the sea and islands to harm our country.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Pham Bao Son - Vice President of Hanoi National University stated that Vietnam is a maritime country, the sea and islands have an important strategic position in terms of national defense, economy, and international cooperation.

On that basis, the contribution of scientists in the research and development of the marine economy is increasingly valued. Hanoi National University, with its outstanding advantages in interdisciplinary research, will be the place to provide many studies on the sea and islands related to the history of development, natural advantages, resources, as well as models of marine economic development, etc.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Truc Le - Chairman of the Council of the University of Economics, Vietnam National University, Hanoi affirmed that the task of turning our country into a strong and rich country from the sea must determine the importance of sustainable development of the marine economy. Although significant achievements have been made, some goals and tasks set out in the Party and State's policies and guidelines on the sea are still limited, failing to promote the advantages and potential of the sea.
The connection between coastal areas, between coastal regions and localities with inland regions and localities; between sectors and fields related to the sea is still loose and ineffective; environmental pollution and ecosystem degradation are at risk of increasing in the context of climate change and rising sea levels. Therefore, research to propose effective and sustainable marine economic development models is an urgent issue.

Therefore, to develop offshore wind power effectively in Vietnam, it is necessary to license wind and sea measurement surveys; national marine spatial planning (2024-2025); master plan for exploitation of coastal resources; develop national strategies on climate change, green growth strategies. In addition, there needs to be a long-term development roadmap for renewable energy, offshore wind power and electricity planning, energy planning associated with other economies...
