WWF was one of the first International non-government organizations working in Vietnam. In 1985, WWF began working on a national conservation strategy and since then has worked closely with the Vietnamese Government on a diverse range of environment issues and implemented field activities across the country.

WWF-Vietnam has developed an aquaculture strategy that focuses on reducing the impacts from aquaculture to maintain the ecological integrity of the Mekong Delta by addressing social, economic and environmental sustainability through WWF’s Aquaculture Improvement Projects (AIP), and Market Transformation Initiative (MTI). WWF encourages large retailers and restaurant chains to adopt responsible seafood procurement policies that call for sourcing responsibly farmed seafood products. Through this approach, WWF-Vietnam also engages with the government to design/revise a regulatory policy that will support a responsible aquaculture industry. Within the DANIDA project (phase 4th) period 2018-2021, we are the following objectives:
Objective 1: A strengthened civil society contributes to improved policies and their implementation in key sectors in terms of improved environmental sustainability, increased social inclusion and economic equity for youth, women and men.
Objective 2: Market-based change mechanisms contribute to sustainable production and consumption with increased social inclusion and economic equity for youth, women and men.
Besides that, WWF-Vietnam signed the agreement with Nothcoast Seafood DK A/S (importer) and TAIKA (exporter) to conduct the project “Introducing cost-sharing for ASC certification of Vietnamese small-scale shrimp farmers in the supply chain for farmed shrimps” in April 2017. The purpose of the project is to ensuring the participation and accountability of seafood buyer and processor in the supply chain for responsible shrimp aquaculture from shrimp farmer cooperatives. The project seeks to establish a cost-sharing model where the expenses of certifying and sustaining ASC certification are shared more evenly between the value chain actors.
