The project will be realized by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the People's Committees of these four provinces.

The project is aimed at developing a modern and synchronized monitoring and warning system for environmental pollution in the four central provinces to provide information, data and documents on the current status and quality of the marine environment in the central region as well as provide timely warnings whenever the marine environment there shows any signs of pollution.

The project will be implemented from 2017 to 2019 with five components. The first aims to enhance the capacity of the marine environment monitoring and warning system in Ha Tinh Province and construct an environmental warning observation station in Vung Ang Economic Zone and adjacent areas.

Components 2, 3 and 4 target the enhancement of the capacity of the marine environment monitoring and warning system in Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien-Hue.

Component 5 monitors and gives warnings for the coastal environment in the four central provinces through a system of automated monitoring stations.
