Sunrise on Quang Loi Lagoon

On June 24th, Vinh Xuan Border Guard Station, in coordination with Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Phu Vinh Commune, organized the 2026 “Accompanying Fishermen in Going Offshore and Remaining at Sea to Safeguard National Maritime and Island Sovereignty” program.

At Thuan An estuary (Thuan An Ward), the rhythm of fishermen’s livelihoods follows the tides with steady regularity. Nearshore net hauls, calls exchanged across the sandy beach, on-the-spot trading activities… all combine to create a vibrant working scene in the summer heat.

According to the leaders of Phong Quang, Phong Phu wards… in the early days of 2026, fishermen along the former Ngu Dien nearshore coastal area have continuously landed bumper early-season herring catches, generating substantial income after short fishing trips. As of January 21st, the total early-season herring output in the former Ngu Dien area is estimated at dozens of tons.

The eastern shore of the Tam Giang Lagoon, once divided by geographical distance and infrastructural constraints, has now taken on a new look.

In the coastal fishing villages of Phu Vang District, nearshore fishermen have begun their first voyages of the year, setting sail to welcome the sea’s early blessings.
