Collect, classify, and treat household waste and plastic waste at source, especially in coastal areas of the district. In addition, strengthen the management and control of marine environmental pollution; exploit and catch aquatic products safely and sustainably.

Promote the responsibility of leaders in performing the tasks of managing, exploiting and rationally using marine resources, at the same time, further promote the role and responsibility of the community to protect and preserve marine and island resources and environment for the goal of sustainable development...
