A project aimed at protecting and sustainably exploiting sea urchins in Quang Ngai province, Vietnam, has seen initial success with a farming model that has a profit potential of 35-40 million VND.

In order to protect resources and diversify aquaculture species and increase income for people in coastal areas, the Agricultural Service Center of Ly Son district (Quang Ngai province) in collaboration with the Institute of Oceanography implemented the project. Investigate, assess resources and propose solutions to protect, develop and sustainably exploit sea urchins in Quang Ngai province. On average, each boat catches more than 300 urchins/day. Particularly in Ly Son district, the mining areas are concentrated around the island. The survey results show that in Ly Son, there are more than 150 people exploiting skullcaps, mainly in the summer. The number of urchins consumed per day (mainly for tourists) is in the thousands. This shows that fishermen are exploiting fishery products in a strong way and overexploiting, leading to an alarming depletion of coastal aquatic resources. Master Nguyen Phi Uy Vu - Institute of Oceanography said that the research team conducted 3 survey ...
