Marine protected areas (MPA) are considered an effective management tool to protect the sustainability of waters and marine business fields based on natural resources such as fishing, tourism and associated services.

Vietnam is listed among the five worst polluters of ocean plastic waste, discharging between 280,000 and 730,000 tons of plastic waste every year into the ocean, according to the United Nations. 

The movement of saying ‘no’ to disposable plastic products, especially plastic cups and straws, has forced plastic manufacturers to change production strategies.

The straws are not made of plastic but environmentally friendly materials such as plants, vegetables and bulbs which can be eaten or used to produce snacks and pasta.

 Nations have agreed that the world needs to completely stop plastic waste from entering the oceans.
