The program is applied nationwide and involves central and local agencies, with priority given to 28 coastal provinces and cities; some countries with many Vietnamese people; and countries with friendly cooperation traditions with Vietnam.

The program will focus on communications on sea and island policies and laws (including international laws); position, role and importance of seas and oceans; Vietnam's rights and interests in the East Sea; marine resources and environment; and sustainable development of the marine economy.

Communications on contents, goals and solutions for sustainable development of six marine economic sectors are based on Resolution 36-NQ/TW on tourism and marine services, maritime economy, offshore oil and resource production, aquaculture and fishing, coastal industry, renewable energy and new marine economic sectors.

Its objectives and tasks will be integrated with other relevant communication and information programs, projects and plans for effective implementation.

Communication forms will be diversified into mass media, personal communications, basic information systems (public loudspeaker systems, posters and slogans), and educational and training institutions.
