Now that the district has granted us a water surface for farming for a period of 15 years according to the decision, we are confident in developing cage fish farming." The 34 households that were given the decision in the first batch by the People's Committee of Dam Ha district are all cage fish farming households.
Right in the first days of the new year, coastal localities of the province are actively speeding up the progress of handing over sea areas so that organizations and individuals can confidently invest in production development. The sea area for aquaculture development of Quang Ninh province has been planned to be 45,146 hectares, of which the sea area within 3 nautical miles has an area of 23,875 hectares (accounting for 53.0%); the sea area from 3 to 6 nautical miles has an area of 13,031 hectares (accounting for 28.8%); the sea area beyond 6 nautical miles has an area of 8,240 hectares (accounting for 18.2%).
According to the summary reports of 9 localities, there are currently 122 organizations and 1,116 individuals proposing the need for aquaculture at sea. Up to now, the whole province has had 5 localities implementing the assignment of sea areas within their authority to organizations and individuals for aquaculture with a total area of nearly 8,800 hectares in Quang Yen, Van Don, Cam Pha, Dam Ha and Hai Ha.
Mr. Hoang Ba Thinh, Director of Manh Duc Trade and Aquaculture Cooperation, said: After being granted an aquaculture license by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development last year and being assigned a sea area in Hon Chin, Van Yen commune, Van Don district by the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, our Cooperative started to release the first batch of clam seeds on December 29, 2024 and is continuing to release to complete the release of more than 6 million seeds before the Lunar New Year of At Ty. With an assigned area of 470.30 hectares in Hon Chin area, Van Yen commune, we prioritize the application of bottom-level release to reduce investment costs compared to cage farming and thus the seeds are released as if raised in the wild in Van Don sea area. Thereby, helping to reduce investment costs and reduce environmental impacts. Currently, we are focusing on raising more breeds to reach the appropriate size so that right after the Lunar New Year At Ty, we will continue to release tens of millions of geoducks and square clams. With this large-scale investment, if the weather is favorable, the commercial breeds will develop stably on average after 9-12 months of raising, we can harvest up to over 800 tons/year.
It is forecasted that by the end of the second quarter of 2025, marine aquaculture facilities in the province will have basically completed their infrastructure and entered stable production. To ensure the economic growth scenario in 2025 as directed by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee at a recent meeting, right from the first days of the new year, relevant departments, branches and coastal localities in the province continue to urgently complete the plan. The sea transfer is completed so that aquaculture households have the conditions to reproduce and convert farming technology towards high technology. At the same time, the marine farming space is also reorganized by localities with the goal of promoting marine farming, promoting regional and inter-regional advantages, striving for the marine farming area of the whole province to reach 15,000 hectares, an increase of 4,800 hectares compared to 2024. The aquaculture growth rate is about 11.4%.
