This paper advocates for the establishment of a bilateral network of marine protected areas between China and Vietnam in the North – Western part of the South China Sea as an alternative to the going-on yearly Chinese unilateral fishing ban in this region. Such a bilateral network, if properly implemented, cannot only help to preserve the marine living resources in the South China Sea but also contribute to improving the relations between China and Vietnam and decreasing the tension in the region. Perspectives on how to establish the network as well as to manage its component are equally provided, taking into consideration the biogeographical classification of and existing overlapping claims in this area.
