VietNamNet Bridge – Being one of the four biggest fishing ports in the central province of Ha Tinh, Cua Nhuong Fishing Port is always busy with trading boats early in the morning.

Bustling: The port gathers tourists as well as local traders.

The port comes alive at 4am, when fishing boats return to the dock. It is one of the province’s key seasfood suppliers.

It has been revived after an environment disaster in April 2016, when the Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corporation was charged with discharging toxic wastewater into the sea, which resulted in the mass death of aqua animals throughout the central region including off the coast of Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien Hue provinces.

Grafting: After unloading fish from their boats, fishermen make their way back out to sea.  Testing: A heavy catch seems to refresh the faces of weather-beaten fishermen.  Thrifty: Bamboo coracles are the most common method of transporting the the fish to the market.  Worth it: Sunrise over the port.  World waking up: The early morning market ends at 8-9am.
