While being a major economic development force for tropical islands, tourism may aggravate disturbances on local water resources (scarcity, pollution) and the surrounding ecosystem. In this work, we used a discrete events modelling approach to characterize trajectories of Cat Ba Island (Vietnam) and its ability to reach specific trajectories. We wanted to assess if a healthy social ecosystem could be compatible with tourism.

- Microplastic pollution is a growing concern in coastal regions of Vietnam, with this study focusing on its levels in bivalve species from aquaculture areas.
- All bivalve samples contained microplastics, averaging about 10.84 pieces per individual, predominantly in the gills and digestive glands, primarily composed of polypropylene and polyethylene.
- The research indicates that human health risks from microplastics could arise from consuming these bivalves, suggesting that proper preparation techniques like removing viscera can help mitigate risks.
