    Dr.Nguyen Le Tuan, Director of Sea and Island Research Institute under the VASIsaid Vietnam has yet to put in place any common framework or specificmechanisms and plans to reduce marine plastic waste. The country also lacksinformation to assess the impacts of marine plastic waste on the environment,economy, human health and safety and society in coastal areas.
    However,the country has raised various initiatives and made great efforts in thisregard recently.

    Atthe GEF6, Vietnam proposed that East Asian countries build, approve andimplement a strategy and action plans on marine plastic waste management in theregional waters; reduce plastic production and tighten the management of thetrading and use of plastic products. It also called for applying newtechnologies to replace plastic products by biodegradable plastics, amongothers.
