Abstract

The marine economy plays a strategic role in Vietnam's socio-economic development, ensuring national security and asserting national sovereignty. This article aims to analyze the current state management of marine economic development in Vietnam in the context of international integration and climate change, thereby assessing the achievements, limitations, and causes of inadequacies in the management system. Based on the theoretical basis of public management and the approach to integrated coastal zone management, the article uses qualitative research methods combined with document analysis and statistical data to clarify the effectiveness of state management of the marine economy. The research results show that Vietnam has issued many policies and achieved outstanding achievements in the development of seaport infrastructure, logistics, fisheries, and marine tourism, but the management mechanism is still fragmented, lacking an overall coordination focal point; the application of digital technology is ineffective, and the marine human resources have not met the requirements. Drawing on international experience in South Korea, Norway, and the European Union, the article proposes solutions including improving institutions and marine spatial planning, reforming the management apparatus, promoting digital transformation, developing human resources, protecting the marine environment, and enhancing international cooperation. These recommendations aim to improve the effectiveness of state management and promote the development of a blue and sustainable marine economy, in line with Resolution 36-NQ/TW and the 2045 vision in Vietnam.
