Along the coastal regions of Central Vietnam, especially in the city of Hue, seahorses are not only a supplementary source of income for many fishermen but also an indicator of a healthy marine ecosystem. As seahorse populations continue to decline, reproductive research models and collaborations between fishermen and scientific institutions are opening up new hope: preserving this unique species for future generations.

The coastal area in Hue, especially Chan May - Lang Co area, home to the economic zone of the same name, is emerging as a bright spot with the leading role in development not only within the locality, but also in inter-regional spread.

To provide opportunities for students and visitors to explore and study natural resources and biodiversity through valuable collections of animals, plants, geological specimens, minerals, and marine organisms, the Central Coastal Nature Museum is now offering free guided tours and interactive experiences.

Hai Duong Commune (Hue City) is considered a most arduous and challenging place with a long coastline to the southeast and Tam Giang lagoon to the southwest. Through many generations exploring the land, establishing villages and settling down, the people of Hai Duong have suffered a lot of pressure from waves and winds; nevertheless, they are still living in harmony with the harsh nature and living on marine products.
