HÀ NỘI — The Conference on Sustainable Mariculture with a View from Quảng Ninh will be organised from March 31-April 1 in Hạ Long City of Quảng Ninh Province, said Nguyễn Minh Sơn, director of Agriculture and Rural Development Department of Quảng Ninh Province.

The conference with the theme "Mariculture for a Green Source of Life for Future Generations" organised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the People's Committee of Quảng Ninh Province and Nông Nghiệp Việt Nam (Việt Nam’s Agriculture) newspaper, expects to welcome 300-350 Vietnamese and international participants.

The conference aims at accelerating the implementation of the project on marine farming in Quảng Ninh Province, identifying the current situation of mariculture in the world and in the country, removing difficulties in licensing and assigning marine areas for aquaculture in Quảng Ninh and the whole country.

The conference will also introduce the potential, strengths, mechanisms and policies to attract investment in developing marine farming in an industrial, modern and multi-value direction, and consult with experts and scientists, and domestic and foreign businesses to promote the sustainable development of marine aquaculture in Quảng Ninh Province.

Trần Đình Luân, director of Fisheries Department, hoped that the conference will be a bridge for management agencies, experts, scientists, businesses, organisations and individuals to evaluate the overall situation of marine farming in Việt Nam as well as in the world with the goal of contributing to the development of a sustainable marine farming industry. — VNS
