On November 16, Ms. Nguyen Thi Mai Quynh, Manager of the Fisheries and Marine Protected Areas Component (WWF – Vietnam), said that within the framework of the “Reducing Marine Plastic Waste” project, the WWF Vietnam organization coordinated with the Department of Natural . Resources and Environment of Phu Quoc City, Kien Giang Province, to operate a system of 6 cameras to monitor household waste disposal in Duong Dong Ward.
In addition, the locality also built two floating yards on the Duong Dong River so that fishermen who catch seafood in the sea can easily dispose of household waste in the right place. Employees will then collect the above waste and bring it to the collection point for processing, thereby contributing to limiting marine environmental pollution.
“We also campaign to raise awareness among fishermen, small businesses and local people to understand more about the meaning of garbage disposal in the right place. Everyone joins hands, we feel that household waste in Phu can be disposed well. The environment will be green-clean-beautiful. The area is expected to launch this camera system on December 2,” Ms. Quinn said.
