+ At least 80% of management personnel of marine sanctuaries are trained and publicized regarding management and action for reducing plastic waste.

- Reduce use of materials and specialized equipment made of single-use plastic:

+ At least 10% of fishery vessels and fishery facilities replace several materials and specialized equipment with environmentally friendly materials or multiple-use plastic;

+ Reduce porous floats by 30% in aquaculture;

- Increase percentage of collection, classification, reuse, and processing of plastic waste from fishery activities:

+ At least 50% of fishery vessels collect plastic waste, transport to shore in collection areas, and transport to processing entities;

+ At least 70% of fishery culturing facilities in fishery culturing areas collect and classify plastic waste in order to transport to entities capable of processing;

+ At least 50% of small fishery culturing facilities collect and classify plastic waste in facilities before transporting to entities capable of processing;

+ 100% of export processing facilities and at least 50% of small processing facilities collect and classify plastic waste before transporting to processing entities;

+ At least 70% of fish ports collect and classify plastic waste, and transport to processing entities.

- 100% of marine sanctuaries develop supervision plans and organize collection, classification of plastic waste and transport to processing entities.

- Developed database on marine plastic waste in fishery.
