Regarding all issues related to environmental protection, the Vietnam Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment never relies on unverified information, so this specific issue still needs to continue collecting information in a complete and accurate manner. Specifically, this relates to documents concerning: control of environmental hygiene (before, during, and after sinking). Especially clarifying the choice of sinking location, whether it is in a marine conservation planning area, and whether there is a permit from the state and local management authorities or not?
As soon as we received information from citizens about the use of abandoned cargo ship wrecks to create additional diving spots to attract tourists in Con Dao – a sensitive area concerning historical and environmental culture, the leadership of the Association seriously discussed and sought the opinions of experts on this matter and promptly responded to citizens and those concerned about environmental protection work.
