“A steadfast anchorage” is the aspirations and hopes of generations of fishermen venturing out to sea and the local authorities of Thua Thien Hue province in their efforts to meet the evolving needs of the fishing community.

​On the morning of March 29th, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, in collaboration with Hue’s Fisheries Sub-department, organized the release of 160 thousand endemic fish into the Huong River to restore the aquatic resources of this waterway.

Many people go out to sea and never return, but deep-sea fishing for people in this countryside remains a passion.

Dissemination information on border security and maritime sovereignty; providing guidance on communication methods when fishermen encounter difficulties at sea; as well as supporting students in drug prevention; sharing good ways to do business, and giving national Flags to locals, etc., are significant actions that are regularly done by Thua Thien Hue border defense force.

Many difficulties and challenges notwithstanding, this year's fishery is identified as the year of achieving remarkable results with a total output of more than 41 thousand tons.

This season is when herbs are high in medicine and bees make honey. People in the highland of A Luoi then start their hard and dangerous trips looking for vegetables, mushrooms, honey, creek fishes, and so on.

At 6 am, Mr. Hoang Khang (Hue City) was preparing hats and drinking water. Making an appointment with friends in front of Phu Van Lau, after more than an hour of traveling, he and his group of friends were present in Phong Hai Commune (Phong Dien) to prepare for an enjoyable sea experience.

Scarcely had the boats been pushed into the sea, touching the water surface when the waves, in turn, hit the shore. The wind and waves struck the boat sides, causing the boat to wobble. But a few minutes later, the muscular men with the help of the sea village women successfully started the boats for a squid fishing trip which would last more than 12 hours.

Responding to the World Environment Day (June 5) with the theme “Solution for Plastic Waste”, the International Day of Biodiversity and the Month of Action for the Environment 2023, on the morning of June 4, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment coordinated with the People’s Committee of Phu Loc district, Thach Son Fisheries Association (Loc Dien, Phu Loc), etc., to release 80.000 fingerlings of tiger prawns and over 14.000 rabbitfishes into the Da Dam and Da Mieu fisheries conservation areas belonging to Tam Giang – Cau Hai Lagoon.

Tam Giang brackish water lagoon system is the Southeast Asia's largest, located 30 km from Hue City. The lush mangrove forest not only creates conservation areas for aquatic resources, helping the Tam Giang lagoon to put on a new color, but also protects the habitat from the impact of climate change, creating more livelihoods for local people, from fishing to community tourism.
