Overview on Remote Sensing Application for
Coastal Environmental Study in Viet Nam

• Institution network dealing with remote sensing
  application
• At ministry level, there are 7 agencies as
  follows
• National Center for Natural Science and
  Technology (NCST)
• Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development
  (MARD)
• Ministry of Fishery (MOFI)
• Ministry of Industry (MI)
• General Department of Land Administration (GDLA)
• Ministry of Construction (MC)
• Hydrology and Meteorological Service of Vietnam
  (HMS)
• In NCST there are 8 institutes with departments
  for remote sensing application Institute of
  Physics (IP) - Space Technology Application
  Center (STAC), Institute of Geography (IG),
  Institute of Geology (IGL), Hai Phong Institute
  of Oceanology (HIO), Institute of Ecology and
  Biological Resources (IEBR) and Ha Noi Branch of
  Institue of Oceanography.
• In several universities, there are divisions of
  remote sensing application for educational
  purposes.

Concept Proposal

• Urgent need
• In Viet Nam, there are many institutions and
  agencies dealing with remote sensing as mentioned
  above. But the application of remote sensing for
  monitoring environment, particularly for coastal
  zone at almost institutions is still at the
  beginning. Therefore, there is an urgent need to
  develop the application of remote sensing and
  GIS to integrated environment monitoring. As an
  initiative, a project on coastal environment
  monitoring using remote sensing and GIS
  techniques in Viet Nam needs to be formulated to
  set up the first step towards the modern tool
  application to sustainable development.
• Goal
• To strengthen capacity for institutions and
  agencies of Viet Nam to meet regional level and
  requirements in using remote sensing and GIS
  techniques for coastal environment monitoring.
• Implementation
• In stages in accordance with the regional
  program, specific objectives and outputs as well
  as participating agencies will be set out.
• Financial supports
• From the APN and some contributions from the
  governments or international organizations.
