The project will be implemented from 2017 to 2019 with five components. Specifically, component 1 enhances the capacity of the marine environment monitoring and warning system in Ha Tinh province with a focus on investing in equipment for on-field observation and lab analysis, investing in specialized equipment for environmental monitoring for Ha Tinh’s Centre for Environmental Monitoring.
Components 2, 3 and 4 will strengthen the capacity of the marine environment monitoring and warning system in Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien Hue provinces, in which enhancing investment in equipment for on-field observation and lab analysis; investing in specialized equipment for environmental monitoring for the Environmental Monitoring Centers of Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien Hue provinces.
Component 5 monitors and gives warning for the coastal environment of four central provinces through a system of automated monitoring stations, using remote sensing technology and a combination of periodic monitoring programs.
