Why is it important?

The study was important to bring to light coral reefs and other marine ecosystems at the Hon Mun Island in NhaTrang city are under threat to, thus, human activities and climate change impacts. The area is being noted as a major tourist destination for most travelers with several aesthetic features, generating a lot of revenue for the government. Hence, degrading face of the site may bear several implications. Hence, need for the site to be given much attention and critical issues given much weight.
