The campaign has attracted the active participation of youth union members, young people, students, citizens, domestic and international organizations, and businesses. It has received recognition and high praise from party committees, authorities, communities, and society. Youth unions and union levels have proactively and actively coordinated with specific local agencies and units to implement campaign content tailored to their localities.

In 2019, building on the achieved results, the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of Vietnam is directing the National Volunteer Center to coordinate with various units to implement the campaign until August 31st. The "Clean the Ocean" campaign is identified as one of the key tasks of the Summer 2019 Youth Volunteer Campaign.
With the theme "Kindness to the Ocean," the campaign focuses on raising awareness and actions of people, tourists, and the community about the important role of the ocean in human life. It calls on the community to join hands to protect the marine environment through practical activities. Additionally, it organizes social welfare activities to encourage fishermen in difficult circumstances in coastal provinces to continue their fishing activities, thereby promoting economic development.
