Collaborative research on
Vietnamese reef communities: Phu
Khanh Province, 1980.
The project " South China Sea "
(leaded by A.V.Zhirmunsky and Le Trong Phan)
The 1st marine expedition had been
carried out since February, 16 to
June, 11, 1981 aboard S/V “Kallisto”
and “Berill”
Sites of study:
Northern part of Gulf of Tonkin
up to southern islands Condao,
Spratlys (In total more than 60
reefs in 12 various areas were
investigated)
1979 - 2002:
Many coastal sites were sampling
for biodiversity

turbulence processes in various
zones of a reef of Gulf of Tonkin

before and 12 species are the
new to a science.

productivity of biota in coastal waters of
Vietnam;
 Research of the conservation, renewal and
management of biological resources in the
shelf zone
Oparin cruises: 2005, 2007, 2010, và 2013
PERSPECTIVES
 Lots of common interests
 Political wills from national leaders
 Principle agreements between VAST and FEB RAS
CHALLENGES
 Limited funding and different financial procedures from
Governments
 Language barrier
 Implementation arrangement
FUTURE COOPERATION….
Vietnamese – Russian familyship generationally
forever!
