Under the motto “Be kind to the ocean,” the campaign aims to raise awareness of people, tourists, and the whole community about the important role of the sea in daily lives, calling everyone to join hands in protecting the marine environment with practical and specific activities. It also highlights the importance of conducting social activities and encouraging fishermen to head to the sea for a stable income.

The launching ceremony for the campaign will take place at Sa Ky port in Binh Chau commune, Binh Son district, Quang Ngai province on June 8, with multiple practical activities on the spot. On the same day, the campaign will be simultaneously launched in 28 coastal provinces and cities across the country.

This year, the organizer targets to mobilize 50 voluntary clubs to clean sea at 28 coastal provinces and cities. 

The campaign was initiated and coordinated by the National Volunteer Centre and the VTV24 News Centre under the Vietnam Television in 2016 in 28 provinces and cities with coastline. 

Over the past years, the campaign has attracted hundreds of thousands of Youth Union members, youngsters, students, local people, organizations and enterprises in its responsive and worthwhile activities./.
