The program focuses on raising public awareness of the importance of the sea towards man’s life and on mobilizing the community to join hands in protecting the sea environment through practical deeds and supporting disadvantaged fishermen.

According to the organizers, tourists are also welcomed to take part in dissemination activities and in cleaning up the sea at the weekend.

At the press conference, the National Volunteer Center, the Ministry of Public Security, the low-cost carrier Vietjet Air, and the US Embassy in Vietnam also launched the poster design and initiative contest entitled “Clean up the Sea.”
