Abstract

     Sea and island play a very important role for the development and security of the countries in the sea in particular and the world in general. The sea and the island constitute an integral part of the sacred sovereignty of the Fatherland, together with the mainland, creating an environment of eternal survival and development for the Vietnamese nation. Beachfront to build water and through the sea to hold water has been a unique feature of the Vietnamese nation in the past. It is also the uniqueness of Vietnamese cultural identity, which needs to be sustained and promoted further in a new era - an era of science and technology, globalization and international economic integration. Vietnam is on the path of integration with the world, so for the sea we need to research and devise a sea economic development strategy and pathway to effectively exploit the sea potentials, economic development and protect the country.

On that basis, some basic solutions are proposed to enhance the management, protection and development of Vietnam's marine and island economy in the new period.
