As the fourth pilot site of the GSF project, this site serves as a platform to showcase the advancements in marine water quality monitoring and environmental management. Through the integration of innovative technologies and collaborative efforts between Vietnam and Korea, the pilot site in Vung Tau City aims to contribute to the sustainable development of coastal areas, preservation of marine ecosystems, and promotion of responsible tourism.

By harnessing the power of IoT, big data analytics, and AI, the GSF pilot site in Vung Tau City strives to enhance the monitoring and management of marine water quality, ensuring a sustainable and healthy marine environment for the benefit of both local communities and future generations.
