The Planning also clearly states that the coastal area is responsible for conserving and sustainably using important natural ecosystems, so the Thai Thuy and Tien Hai Wetland Nature Reserves have been planned to develop forests, protect the environment, biodiversity, minimize the impact of wind, storms, rising tides... as a green wall stretching, protecting the entire coastline of Thai Binh.

The 6-nautical mile sea area of Thai Binh has an area of 487 square kilometers, with 8 functional areas: security - defense area; seaport, traffic and logistics; aquaculture and fishing; nature conservation and scientific research; exploitation of marine resources; exploitation of renewable energy; development of tourism, marine services; sea encroachment area serving industrial and urban development.
