Inclusive and environmentally sound
sustainable development re - quires managing natural
resources that societies depend on for the long term. In the
context of marine and coastal resources which pro - vide an
important source of income for large numbers of households
and revenue for countries, this implies balancing the
economic, social, and environmental dimensions of the use of
the natural resources in marine and coastal areas. The term
“blue economy” is increasingly being used to describe this
balanced approach. For coastal countries such as Vietnam,
the importance of its marine economy is well known. The
country has used the goods and services provided by the
natural assets in its near-shore and coastal areas -
including fisheries, mangroves, wetlands, lagoons, and sandy
beaches - for tourism, production of seafood, and
controlling climate events that cause erosion and
weathering. The purpose of this report is to inform the
operationalization of the strategy for the sustainable
development of Vietnam’s marine economy by 2030, with a
vision to 2045 by providing relevant insights from
international experiences with blue economy development. The
World Bank definition for blue economy - to promote economic
growth, social inclusion, and preservation or improvement of
livelihoods while at the same time ensuring environmental
sustainability – is used as a guiding framework for this work.
