With a coastline stretching over 3,260 kilometers and an exclusive economic zone covering approximately one million square kilometers, Vietnam possesses enormous untapped potential to transform offshore and marine aquaculture into a true pillar of the national economy, ensuring long-term food security, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, reducing coastal poverty, and significantly boosting high-value exports. Nevertheless, in order to realistically achieve the ambitious national targets of 1.45 million tonnes of marine aquaculture production and an export turnover of between 1.8 and 2 billion USD by the year 2030, the sector urgently requires a clear, detailed, and scientifically grounded roadmap that systematically addresses the full spectrum of existing challenges, ranging from outdated policy frameworks and regulatory bottlenecks to technological limitations and environmental sustainability concerns. A comprehensive new study conducted by Dr. Phạm Anh Tuấn has carefully outlined a practical, phased, and sustainable pathway forward, placing particular emphasis on the urgent need to reorganize near-shore production activities while progressively expanding large-scale, industrial aquaculture operations into deeper offshore waters.
