This was the first-ever clean-up to protect the coral reefs from natural enemies and household waste.
Volunteers cleaned up coral reefs in Bai Tra, Bai Nan, Bai Xep, and Bai Bac beaches and caught crown-of-thorns starfish, a natural enemy of coral reefs.
The board also measured the vulnerability of marine ecological systems and assessed vegetation coverage to identify specific measures to protect the reefs.
