The key to the success of seaweed farming is its growing commercial potential. Illustration: sciencefriday. A new study argues that growing a sufficient number of green seaweeds can help reduce pollution, absorbing most of the harmful waste. The study’s co-author, Phoebe Racine, said the thesis was just an early idea and implementation would take time, but given the lack of progress in other aspects, “there was no other option.” in addition to considering alternative methods”. Racine, a researcher at the University of California at Santa Barbara, says growing a variety of seaweed species in less than 1 percent of the Gulf of Mexico’s waters could help the United States meet pollution reduction goals that are already out of reach. . She and her colleagues mapped the suitable area for seaweed cultivation in the Gulf, and the suitable area could be more than 38,500 square kilometers. The Gulf of Mexico is being choked with agricultural and municipal waste. In May 2019, the Mississippi River discharged an average of more than 5,000 tons of nitrates and 800 tons of phosphorus into the Gulf of Mexico, the highest levels in 40 years. These excess nutrients from farm fertilizers and animal waste in the Midwest robs the oceans of oxygen off the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, fueling toxic algae blooms that have led to the so-called “dead zone”. Eutrophication (also known as eutrophication) is when there are too many nutrients in the pond/lake such as nitrate, phosphorus, which exceed the self-regulating capacity of the pond/lake, causing dense growth of plant and animal death due to lack of oxygen. To environmental experts, this problem seems intractable. Called eutrophication, dead zones are proliferating all over the world. There are more than 700 coastal areas worldwide that are “dead zones” or negatively impacted by currents. While the United States bears the bulk of agricultural waste, municipal wastewater is the main culprit in South America, Asia, and Africa. Annually, they cause economic losses of $3.4 billion in Europe and the United States alone by affecting tourism and fishing resources; while reducing property values, water treatment and adverse health effects. Over the past 10 years, 85 communities in the United States have spent a total of more than $1 billion to prevent or treat toxic algal blooms. Among the hardest hit areas is at the mouth of the Mississippi River, where the continued discharge of domestic waste from the heart of the United States has destroyed the local seafood and tourism industries.

Growing seaweed is considered as one of the green solutions to solve this problem. Seaweed farming dates back to 1,700 years ago in China. Today, countries like Indonesia and the Philippines, along with China and South Korea, lead the world in this area. In South Korea, where aquaculture has grown by 300% in the past 30 years, an intensive effort has proven its usefulness as a waste reduction tool. According to one study, farms that grow three major seaweed species and two shellfish species (all filter feeds without additional feed) accounted for 5.7% of carbon dioxide and 8.6% of carbon dioxide emissions. nitrogen emissions from all wastewater treatment plants in Korea. The key to the success of seaweed farming is its growing commercial potential. These aquatic plants can absorb excess nitrogen and phosphorus, turning it not only into food for humans, but also expanding a range of other commercial uses. The most commonly grown seaweeds include red or brown algae or algae. Some are used to make culinary thickeners or jellies for culturing bacteria in the lab. Others are dried into sheets for sushi rolls. While sugar kelp can be used as a sweetener, kelp is also used in toothpaste, shampoo, frozen foods, and even pharmaceuticals. Making seaweed farms profitable will be an important consideration to promote them as an agricultural and municipal waste treatment solution. Asia currently has a very strong demand for seaweed. Human consumption, which includes everything from sushi rolls to broths to salads, is the largest market for harvested seaweed. But growing demand can also be seen in the cosmetic and fertilizer industries, as well as aquafeeds. However, mass aquaculture faces a number of significant obstacles, particularly its labor-intensive nature. Globally, the demand for seaweed is forecast to double to $30 billion by 2025. However, in the United States, the seaweed market is relatively small. Gretchen Grebe, an aquaculture scientist at the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, says seaweed farming in the US is largely “in the R&D phase.” “Using seaweed farming to remediate any large amounts of nutrient pollution would require significant expansion — the current scale of farming wouldn’t even matter,” says Grebe. In the United States, states have different regulations regarding aquaculture licensing. While it’s relatively easy to get a seaweed farm permit in Maine and Alaska, in California it requires meeting a stack of overlapping regulations. Bailey Moritz, Program Manager of the World Wildlife Fund, said: “Offshore activities hold promise. Our goal is to see seaweed growth that will have meaningful impacts [đối với sự suy giảm chất dinh dưỡng], and scale is needed for that.” But large-scale offshore seaweed farming is still at least a decade away from taking place in the US, and only when biofuels, bioplastics and animal feed are generated enough. need. Seaweed holds great promise, Grebe said, but scientists are quick to point out that the main driver is the imperative to reduce watershed waste inputs. “We are asking a lot of seaweed farmers to treat the nutritional waste that we dump into the Gulf,” she concludes.

Traveling to the land of sunshine and wind, some people choose to stay at luxurious sea view resorts, fully enjoying high-class services. Meanwhile, many young people like backpacking, discovering the beauty of the sea in their own way. During the last holiday, blogger Mavis Vi Vu Ky (Nguyen Khanh Hoang Anh) traveled with her best friend around the most beautiful beaches in Central Vietnam. On the third day of the trip, the two received information that the epidemic was at risk of resurgence. 9X and close friends ensure a safe journey with full epidemic prevention measures. It helps the “foot-crazy” association to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the journey that other forms of tourism do not have. Traveling on sunny and windy roads Blogger Saigon spent 5 days conquering the coastal road of Binh Thuan – Ninh Thuan. This is one of the first roads that Hoang Anh has ever discovered since backpacking. Therefore, this road is associated with many beautiful memories of the female blogger’s youth. Share with Zing About the reason for making a long trip, 9X said: “The most beautiful places are not the destination, but the scenery along the way. Therefore, I chose to travel through the beautiful sea roads. Perhaps the trip would have lost half of its soul if I hadn’t gone by motorbike.” Beautiful roads run along the coast when viewed from above. Starting from Ho Chi Minh City, the 2 girls together conquered 3 unique coastal roads, including Bau Trang, Ca Na – Phan Rang and Vinh Hy – Binh Hung. Covered with immense sand dunes, the highlight of colorful virtual living landscapes, Bau Trang is a road crossing the sea that attracts young people to check-in. Meanwhile, the Ca Na – Phan Rang palace captures the hearts of backpackers with its winding road following the turquoise coast. Vinh Hy – Binh Hung is the coastal road that Hoang Anh is most interested in. On one side is a high cliff, the other side is a clear blue sea at the bottom. “Going for a while, I had to stop to take a few pictures, there were amazingly beautiful scenes,” 9X confided. The sunny weather helps her trip go smoothly. Cung Binh Thuan, Ninh Thuan are not too difficult to go, but the sea road is quite empty and roundabout, so the drivers need to move carefully. “There are quite a few homestays along the way, and the people in the Central region are also friendly, so it’s not difficult to find accommodation or ask for help,” 9X said. Having visited more than 50 provinces on the map of Vietnam, for Mavis, this is the most experienced trip. The landscape is diverse from mountains and sand dunes to the sea and bay. Each place has its own unique features, leaving many unforgettable impressions on young bloggers. 5 days 4 nights discover the beauty of the sea Day 1: HCMC – Phan Thiet – Ong Dia rock beach I departed from Ho Chi Minh City at 8am, arrived in Phan Thiet around 3pm. After stopping to eat fish cake soup, I went to Ong Dia rock to enjoy the wind. This place owns a rocky road with colorful basket boats. After bathing, watching the sunset, in the evening I go for a walk, eat around the city of Phan Thiet, then return to the homestay to rest after a tiring day of driving. Ong Dia rock beach is a familiar destination that attracts young people to check-in in Phan Thiet. Day 2: Mui Ne – Mui Ne fishing village – Bau Trang – flying sand hill – Co Thach beach 7 colors – Mui Dinh Early in the morning of day 2, I rode my motorbike to Mui Ne to hunt for a beautiful sunrise. Note that only the west coast of Mui Ne can see the sunrise directly. After that, I went to Mui Ne fishing village, gathered many boats anchored, creating a poetic scene. The unforgettable experiences in the early morning here are walking down the stairs to the fishing village, feeling the bustling atmosphere in the seafood granaries… Mui Ne fishing village is a place where you can clearly feel the rhythm of life in the coastal area of ​​Binh Thuan. After breakfast, I went back to the homestay to check-out, starting the journey to discover Bau Trang – a coastal road like the West sky. Along the way, I stopped at bright yellow buses to take pictures, then check-in the sand dunes. Here, you will admire the endless stretches of sand desert that change color continuously according to the time of day. Bau Trang is one of the impressive stops on the blogger’s trip. Leaving Bau Trang, I continued to move to Co Thach beach. The sea possesses clear water, above is a strange 7-color pebble beach. I had lunch here, then moved to Mui Dinh. To reach Mui Dinh, I have to take a jeep through the white sand dunes, then walk a bit more. Here, I rented a tent to camp by the beach. At night, I light a campfire, watch the full moon and the starry sky above, listen to the sound of waves lapping against the sand. Day 3: Mui Dinh Lighthouse – wind power field – Dam Vua salt field – Red island – Rai cave – Vinh Hy In the morning of day 3, I got up early to go to Mui Dinh lighthouse to watch the sunrise. To get here, you have to go through a steep path. Climbing to the top, the unspoiled seascape and the M-shaped road winding next to it are captured in full view. The wild and peaceful scene in Mui Dinh. Leaving Mui Dinh, I went to the wind power field, where there are giant “pinwheels” next to the cactus bushes, hidden in the blue sea in the distance. After wandering to take pictures here, I moved to the field. Dam Vua salt, where there are “white fields” – a specialty of the sea. After that, I continued to explore Hon Do cape. Through the sandy roads, Hon Do cape appears beautiful with rocks and green moss, where people often gather to fish. Stepping out onto the mossy beach is the color of clear sea water with strange sea creatures. Ninh Thuan owns unique check-in points. After exploring Red Island, I moved to Rai Cave, watching the sunset gradually fall on the rocks with strange shapes stacked on top of each other. That night, I asked to sleep at the house of an indigenous person in Vinh Hy, having dinner with their family. After that, I walked around the embankment, watching the starry sky above. Day 4: Vinh Hy – Binh Hung island – Hon Chut lighthouse – egg stone beach – Mui Ne On the 4th day of the journey, I woke up very early to hunt for a brilliant sunrise on the sea. After that, I set out to conquer the most beautiful sea route in the journey, from Vinh Hy to Binh Hung. Impressive sea crossing route Vinh Hy – Binh Hung. Walking along the sea route, I couldn’t help but admire the majestic and poetic beauty that nature bestowed on this place. Mountains and sea combine harmoniously to create an impressive natural picture. The winding road in the morning sunlight becomes more and more brilliant. After that, I got on a boat to go to Binh Hung island. I took a walk around the island, discovered Hon Chut lighthouse, egg stone beach. Binh Hung owns a wild landscape that is popular with tourists. Leaving Binh Hung, I returned to Vinh Hy, said goodbye to my family and asked to stay yesterday and then went to Mui Ne. On the way, I stopped at Bau Trang, went up to the sand dunes to watch the beautiful sunset. That night, I stayed in Mui Ne, went to the fishing village to eat seafood, and watched the peaceful night scenery in the land of the sea. Day 5: Mui Ne – Ho Chi Minh City The last day of the journey, I got up early, went to the west coast of Mui Ne to watch the sunrise. After that, I took advantage of swimming, enjoying the beauty of this place before driving straight to Ho Chi Minh City, ending a long vacation. The sunrise makes visitors fall in love in Mui Ne. What to eat when checking-in the coastal road? Here are the culinary addresses that Mavis experienced on the recent trip: Phan Rang – Thap Cham city (Ninh Thuan): – Que Huong pancakes – Cake soup with fish cake Nhuong – Tran Binh Trong spring rolls – Thien Ly Flower Restaurant – Khanh Ky chicken rice – Ms. Thao seasoned fish sauce vermicelli – Seafood at Vinh Hy and Ninh Chu raft houses Phan Thiet – Mui Ne (Binh Thuan) – Cay Bang seafood restaurant – Phuong Cay Pancakes – Lan Nguyet Can cake – Ba Ly fish cake soup – Co Xi fish cake soup – Loan squid teeth – Bread waiting Some notes for a long trip – Need to maintain the car, check the spare parts carefully before going on a trip. – Always pay attention to refuel because there are not many gas stations on the road. – Carefully calculate the schedule to have the most comfortable trip. – You need to slow down on the pass sections with bends out of sight such as Vinh Hy or Ca Na. – Avoid going after 18:30 because the road crossing the sea has very few street lights. – Should talk to locals to find strange check-in places and delicious, nutritious and cheap restaurants. – You can ask to stay at people’s houses when traveling. However, you should observe and ask to see if it is a safe place before deciding to stay. Note: In the complicated situation of the Covid-19 epidemic, you need to strictly follow the 5K Message of the Ministry of Health when traveling to protect yourself and the community.

Father and son Tran Minh Tung together take care of the vineyard. Photo:N.Son It is said that in Tan Hanh Ward there is a Ha Den vineyard planted in a safe way, many curious Bien Hoa people have come to Mr. Tung’s vineyard both to satisfy their curiosity and to save money. images with clusters of grapes laden with fruit. * Work and learn at the same time Introduced by friends, Ha Den grape is a grape variety with outstanding advantages compared to other grape varieties being grown in Vietnam such as: healthy growth, fast to harvest, sweet fruit, mild aroma and especially no taste. There were seeds, so Mr. Tran Minh Tung began to learn about the characteristics and techniques of growing this grape variety. In 2019, seeing that his son had a passion for farming, the family had land available, so Mr. Tung boldly invested in a drip irrigation system, materials for making trellis, tarpaulins, heat sinks and ordered 200 plants. Ha Den grape variety from Bac Giang University of Agriculture and Forestry for trial planting. Mr. Tran Minh Tung shared that in the coming time, he will continue to expand the area of ​​​​Ha Den grapes. In addition to selling grapes, he will develop the vineyard into a tourist attraction and experience. Mr. Tung said that when he brought the grapes to plant, everyone around him told him to take risks because grapes are often grown in the South Central coastal provinces, in Bien Hoa City, only a few families have grown as ornamentals. Planting for shade, few people grow grapes on a large scale (about 700-800m2) like him. When buying materials and equipment to build a truss, receiving grape varieties for planting, he realized that he had taken a risk when he spent 120 million VND to do something without knowing success or failure. Encouraged by his family, especially his son, and expressed his determination to successfully grow the Ha Den grape variety with his father, Mr. Tung felt empowered. However, passion and determination is one thing, the reality of growing and taking care of grapes is another. In addition to instructions from Bac Giang University of Agriculture and Forestry, in order to take care of the vineyard, he had to find books to read, go online to find articles about Ha Den grapes for reference, and even fly from South to North, find gardeners to learn from experience. The vineyard is located next to the house, so the first time he planted it, he was in the vineyard almost every day to monitor the growth of the grapes, as long as the grapes showed signs of abnormality, he would contact a number of gardeners to ask and handle. right. Thanks to that, after only 2 years of growing grapes, Mr. Tung has mastered all techniques of growing and taking care of grapes, handling problems related to Ha Den vine. Knowing the vineyard, many people in Bien Hoa City came to visit and take pictures at the vineyard. Photo: Facebook Nguyen Thuy MC According to Mr. Tung’s share, in addition to buying healthy seedlings, a prerequisite for growing Ha Den grapes is a roof. The roof is made of transparent nylon that has the effect of covering heavy rain to prevent leaf breakage, fruit loss, and pest control. The fertilizing and watering is not the same as for ordinary plants, but must use a drip irrigation system and an automatic fertilizing system on the grapevine, absolutely do not water the leaves. In the period of flowering and fruiting, the care is the most difficult because it is necessary to prune flowers, prune fruit, and cover fruit. The technique of pruning grapes needs to be very skillful so as not to scratch the fruit and cause it to crack when it grows. In the near-harvest stage, watering must be stopped to increase the sweetness of the grapes. * Add a “check-in” place for Bien Hoa people Ha Den Vineyard has only been nearly 2 years old so far, starting to generate income. Mr. Tung said that from the 2nd year onwards until the 8th year is the time when the grapes are at their strongest, so the yield will be higher, about 5kg/plant/crop (2 crops per year). Because this is the first harvest, the family wants to create conditions for customers to try Ha Den grapes, so the family only sells it for 120,000 VND/kg (while in the market, the price ranges from 150 to 170 thousand VND/kg). . Ha Den Vineyard not only brings income to Mr. Tung’s family but also becomes a destination to visit and take pictures of Bien Hoa people. Ms. Trieu Hoa Ngoc Lan, Secretary of Doan P. Tan Hanh said, Bien Hoa city has no fruit garden that can serve the needs of visiting, taking pictures and experiencing, so the grape growing model is quite new. She contributed to introduce the vineyard to friends, colleagues, and youth union members. Therefore, the first grape crop last year, although there were not many fruits, attracted many visitors to visit and take pictures. Having a hobby of traveling experiences, Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Thao An (living in Quang Vinh Ward, Bien Hoa City) has traveled to experience many gardeners inside and outside the province. According to Ms. Thao An, in Da Lat she had been to the garden of cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries…; Coming to Ninh Thuan, she visited the vineyard and dragon fruit. In the province, she visited Tan Trieu pomelo garden, rambutan garden in Long Khanh… Most recently, when friends introduced about Ha Den vineyard in Bien Hoa city, Thao An also came and “checked in” here. Ms. Thao An shared, Ha Den vineyard is the same size as other gardeners she has been to, but has the advantage of being located in the campus of Bien Hoa city. This is a favorable condition for those living in Bien Hoa city who are passionate about garden tourism like her to take advantage of visiting and taking pictures without spending much time traveling. A special feature, besides visiting Ha Den vineyard, visitors can manually cut their favorite bunch of grapes with scissors, taste grapes right at the garden, but only pay the amount equivalent to the purchase amount. grapes.

According to the people of Nhan Trach beach village (Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province), Nhan Trach personal market has existed for a long time and has its own characteristics of a coastal fishing village. Nhan Trach market only takes place within 3 hours, from 4 am to 7 am every day. Boats of fishermen in Nhan Trach sea village (Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province) docked at the start of the Nhan Trach market meeting. The boats of fishermen in Nhan Trach sea village (Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province) came to the shore carrying fresh seafood. Fresh scads are caught by the fishermen of Nhan Trach sea village and brought to the shore for the market. Fishermen transport fish from boats to Nhan Trach market. The scene of buying and selling fish takes place bustling in Nhan Trach market. Many small traders in the big markets of Quang Binh province such as Dong Hoi, Hoan Lao (Bo Trach district), Quan Hau (Quang Ninh district) … come to Nhan Trach market to buy and sell seafood. Ms. Nguyen Van (70 years old, in Nhan Trach commune, Bo Trach district, Quang Binh province) said: “I got up early and went to Nhan Trach market to buy fresh fish that fishermen had just caught. The fish is brought home and cooked immediately, so it is very delicious, salty and salty with the taste of the sea.” Fresh squids have just been caught by fishermen and brought to Nhan Trach market for sale. The fishermen of Nhan Trach sea village had a “sea fortune” season, brought them to Nhan Trach market, and were immediately purchased by traders.

With dozens of years old, Nga Son mangrove trees are quite thick, 5-7m high, the sour cork trees are even higher than 10m. With Mr. Mai Van Cong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Nga Thuy commune (Nga Son) and some local people, we went down the mangrove forest which was full of life. Although I have returned to this “green wall” nearly a dozen times, each time I come here, I have more interesting experiences. Standing on the sea dyke adjacent to the mouth of the Len River, zooming in on the green color, the end of the forest cannot be seen with the naked eye. According to research, the length of this coastal mangrove forest is more than 5 km, extending through the coastal area of ​​Nga Tan, Nga Thuy, Nga Tien, and Nga Thai communes. The deeper you go into the forest, a cool air spreads. The forest is a “crowded” of swamp plants, such as: cork, mangrove, tiger, parrot, creating a mutual plant population, resisting the harshness of storms and tidal waves. The forest trees here are on average 5 to 7 m high, many cork oak trees are about 10 m high. From the shaggy trunks, sprouted a dense root system like millions of arms embracing the marshy ground. Under the trees, when the tide recedes, all kinds of crabs, fishes, goby fish… fences and runs away when they see people’s shadows. That is to see, the “green lung” at this Nga Son estuary is an important habitat for aquatic species to grow and develop. This place is considered desolate, quite far from these residential areas, it is also the shelter and feeding place of many migratory birds, especially white storks and many native birds. Formerly deputy director of the Agriculture and Rural Development Department of Nga Son district, who was assigned to monitor and manage the district’s mangrove forests, Mr. Mai Van Cong knows quite well the development history of each area of ​​the forest. According to him, with 450 hectares of coastal wetlands, from 1995 to 1996, Nga Son district was supported to plant mangroves under the sponsorship program of the Vietnam Red Cross. In the years 2005 – 2006, the forest continued to be intercropped and expanded by the Government’s new project of 5 million hectares of forest. According to management data of the District Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the area of ​​Nga Son mangrove forest is 347 hectares, of which Nga Thuy commune has 290 hectares. Currently, there are more than 20 local households in the district contracted to protect each forest area, so the conservation of the mangrove forest is quite good. When we came here, it was also the season when the mangrove trees were in bloom. According to local people, from April to July every year, the color of the flowers of tiger, parrot, cork, and mangrove species cover the whole forest. This is also the time, hundreds of households in the area bring tens of thousands of honey bee colonies to the forest edge to take advantage of the huge source of flowers. Honey from mangrove flowers has a characteristic aroma, light sweetness, and is loved by many people. Through each flowering season, the fruits of forest trees continue to fall into the swamp, many young buds and buds bloom, continue to grow and expand to the surrounding areas. The roots continue to deepen, creating a strong tree position, playing the role of preventing wind and waves, and protecting the safety of the dike. Inside the forest, the brackish water aquaculture area is considered the second largest in Thanh Hoa province, which is protected from storms and high tides. Well-preserved, Nga Son mangrove forest is considered to have the largest biomass in Thanh Hoa today with a system of mature trees that are decades old. The forest has been covered with a permanent green color, in addition to protecting the ecological environment, it also creates many livelihoods for residents around the area.

Russia has developed a project to build a patrol boat capable of diving. Such a ship combines the main features and advantages of a submarine and a surface patrol vessel. The project is intended for export and is supposed to attract the interest of less affluent countries looking to upgrade their fleets. In mid-April 2021, Rubin Design Studio unveiled a new project. They provide background information about an unusual idea, upcoming implementation, and expected results. In addition, this design studio also shows a hologram of a patrol boat with submarine features. The new export-oriented project is named ‘Sentinel’ in Russian, with the English designation chosen as ‘Border and Offshore Submersible Sentry’ or ‘BOSS’ . Sentinel will most likely be marketed as ‘BOSS’ in the international market. The project developers note that modern patrol boats are relatively cheap – and due to their low cost, they attract the attention of poor countries. The main goal of such ships is to be able to prevent poaching and illegal fishing. “Project Sentinel proposes the construction of a ship capable of operating on water or under water. It is claimed that such a ship in a position on the water will be able to carry out official patrols, locate and arrest violators,” said Viktor Murahovsky, editor-in-chief of the magazine’ Homeland Arsenal’, said. “The underwater location is intended for covert surveillance of intruders, reconnaissance and even to avoid adverse weather conditions.” According to him, this is the first version of the diving patrol boat. In the future, the model can be modified to suit the wishes of foreign customers. The official image shows a ship that has the appearance of a submarine but has some uncharacteristic features of a submarine. The Sentinel had an elongated hull with a flat deck on which a limited-sized superstructure was placed. At the bow of the ship, the shield of the hydroacoustic complex antenna can be seen. On either side, forward of the superstructure control tower, there are extendable horizontal rudders. At the stern of the ship there is a compartment for storing motorboats that are brought on deck. As expected, the architecture and main dimensions of the ‘Sentinel’ are similar to the diesel-electric submarines designed under the old ‘Project 613’. This is a major project in the history of the Russian Navy and is very popular with foreign customers. Depending on configuration, ‘BOSS’ ships can be up to 60-70 meters in length and displace around 1,000 tons – approximately the size of an average 613 submarine. The full composition of the ship’s special systems and equipment is not specified. But this semi-submersible patrol boat is capable of carrying weapons of all kinds. It can be equipped with a small artillery complex, a missile system or torpedoes. For reconnaissance and inspection of other ships, the ship will be able to carry UAVs and motorboats. Sentinel can accommodate up to 42 people. This includes crew members, ship operators, and inspection teams responsible for dealing with violators. “The development of the Sentinel project is to meet the current requirements of the international market. Many countries are expressing interest in patrol boats. Thanks to the Sentinel project, Russian industry was able to gain a new position in the international market,” said expert Murahovsky.

The Ministry of Transport said that in order to complete this coastal route, Phu Yen province needs to actively balance the budget, in case of difficulties, it should report to the Government for consideration and support in the medium-term public investment plan (2021-2025). ). The completion of the road will create a beautiful road, connecting with many national monuments and landscapes, which is the driving force to attract investors to large coastal projects of Phu Yen province. From this coastal road, visitors can see the beautiful Bai Mon at the foot of Dien Cape If counted from the South to the North, this road will run through the National Historic Site of Tau No Number, bringing visitors to Vung Ro to enjoy fresh seafood here. This road will continue to take visitors to Bai Mon for scuba diving, to Mui Dien to watch the sunrise. That road will take visitors through Tuy Hoa city with fields on one side and the sea on the other to Bai Xep of Tuy An district (an attractive destination for tourists through the movie “I see yellow flowers on green grass”). . Not far to the north is the national scenic spot Hon Yen – where visitors do not need to wade into the water can still touch each piece of beautiful coral flowers floating on the sea surface at low tide. Continuing to move to the North, less than 10 km, that road will pass through the national landscape of O Loan lagoon famous for greasy milk oysters, blood scallops and Ganh Da Dia, which has just been recognized as a heritage site. special national scenic spots. Out of the territory of Tuy An district, the road will take visitors to the national landscape of Xuan Dai bay – where Phu Yen province is calling for investment to build into one of eight key national tourist areas and will come to you. a series of beautiful beaches, from Bai Nom to Bai Bau, Bai Rang… to Quy Nhon city (Binh Dinh province). Many projects have been licensed to invest by Phu Yen province along the sea, but not many projects have been started construction and put into operation. Among the many reasons given by investors, there is a reason to wait for a road through the coast of Phu Yen province connecting the two provinces of Khanh Hoa and Binh Dinh.

From early morning on Hai Thinh beach (Nam Dinh), there were dozens of fishermen leading the sea. This is a job that helps people have the main source of income for the family. The job of the players who don and rake depends on the country. Big countries go a little later, sometimes until after 1pm to end. The tool for scratching is a 5-7 meter long tattoo, the base of the tattoo is attached with a razor neatly in a rectangular iron frame so that it can be inserted deep into the sand and move more easily. Despite the hardship, but for 40 years, Mr. Tuy has not given up a day except when he is sick. Scratching places are usually sandy beaches on the sea with a depth of 0.5-1m above sea level. The person who rakes with one hand holds the bamboo handle, the other hand resting on the waist with a recoil. Average raking is 15-20 meters a time calculated about 10km per session and soak in sea water continuously for 6 hours. If locating, the fishermen have to immerse themselves in the sea water, while for the claw don, they will have to bow down to dig from under the sand layers. Fishermen have to use small shovels to flip up the sand and sea soil to dig. Don is shaped like a bottle but smaller so you have to look closely to see. The don season peaks from May to June Due to direct contact with water and sea soil, the legs and hands of the rake fishermen have many wrinkles and pale skin. The donation bucket accompanies the fishermen every raking session If they are lucky, each day fishermen can earn from 300-500 thousand VND. On days when the weather is not favorable, we can only scratch a little and we have to go home. Don will be cleaned by fishermen for processing and consumption The fresh pawns cost 30-50 thousand VND / kg and are very popular with the people. Since the donation, the donation has a value, the job of rake and donation attracts more people to do and less and less.

On the morning of April 14 (ie 3/3 of the lunar calendar), the people of the coastal fishing village of Ky Ninh commune held a fishing ceremony at the Ngu shrine area (in Tam Hai 2 village, Ky Ninh commune). According to local custom, every year in the third lunar month, the elders in the village will choose the best day of the month for the fishing ceremony. Choosing the third lunar month to be a ceremony, because this is the time after Thanh Minh period, the sea is the most peaceful, suitable for the fishing ceremony. The fishermen’s fishing ceremony in Ky Ninh commune was held at 4 worshiping sites. The first point is Che Temple over Lady Nguyen Thi Bich Chau, then at Sat Hai Temple (at the foot of Cao Vong Mountain, Ky Ninh), the ceremony is a few nautical miles off the shore and finally the grand ceremony is held. at Ngu Temple in Tam Hai village 2. All ceremonies must take place from early morning until noon. Ceremony items are decorated closely with the culture of coastal fishermen.

Fishermen’s life in recent years has been gradually improved thanks to marine fishing.

The appropriate time for nursing Ha is late February and early March of the lunar calendar.

Hanging string farming is most developed in Hoang Tan commune. Currently the whole commune has thousands of rafts of oysters, large and small. Over the past 10 years, many households in Hoang Tan island commune have developed their economy, enriched by raising oysters.

Previously, the farming of Ha was fragmented, mainly the way of raising on tiger parrot branches, both ineffective and affecting the ecological environment of the mangrove area. Since 2011, a number of households have tried farming by driving piles to the tidal flats, then tie the piles together into trusses and hang up skewer.

Mr. Truong Van Ket, Chairman of Hoang Tan Commune Farmers Association, said: From a few experimental farming households, up to now, the commune has nearly 1,000 households raising hanging ropes, with a scale of over 4,000 hectares of water surface. In this form of farming, they have a fast growth rate, a high survival rate of 80-95%, and a harvest of about 5,000 tons / year.

Working as oyster farming, hanging rope is not too hard, but it requires experience. The farming process is very simple, just take advantage of the exploited shells, bring them to dry in the sun, then punch a hole in the shell to skew to the rope and release. Depending on whether seed is obtained from the wild or from imported seed sources, farmers will create potting ropes with suitable density.

Mr. Nguyen Van Bong’s family in village 5, Hoang Tan commune has been attached to the farming of stringed stringers for more than ten years. Like many other families here, at the end of February, the beginning of the third lunar month is when his family and other households start to breed Ha. In the morning, when the water is dry, people take advantage of tying the skewers of mint to the truss, waiting for the tide to rise. These skewers will become the substrates for the seed in nature to cling to.

After about 2-3 months of nursing, the seedlings have grown to the size of their fingers, people begin to separate each cord to hang to create conditions for the hippopotamus to develop. Each cord has about 5-6 children, hanging about 10-15cm apart. When high tide floods the hanging piles, the tidal currents of the Ha stick cling to the crust and grow and develop on their own. Ha will eat the plankton, algae in the water to grow. So oyster farming does not cost much to buy food and take care like other types of seafood.

However, Mr. Bong also shared that this job is much affected by weather conditions and water salinity, so the risk is quite high. Sometimes, the whole crop will disappear if the water source is polluted, and the disease will die. On the other hand, if the stocking is too dense, it can make the galaxies look fatter for a long time, the harvest time is extended for several months, leading to the higher rate of death.

Model of raising ocean on raft.

The time to switch from summer to autumn when the weather is cold is the time when the hanging rope grows fastest. Farmers have to calculate the tidal water to move the rafts to the farming area with lots of algae to feed them. Usually around November of the lunar calendar begins to harvest.

Compared with wild extraction, the hanging rope model is 10 times more effective, while the initial investment cost is not much, and easy to harvest. Ha in Hoang Tan is of better quality. Because of the mixture of soil, water and soil, the Ha is fat, thicker than the cultured in other localities.

Oyster farming not only brings about great economic value but also benefits in environmental protection. Oysters and mussels purify water through their breathing, and they also eat microorganisms and plankton that make seawater cleaner.

Since the occupation of hanging string, the life of the island commune people gradually changed their flesh. Hoang Tan has become a supplier of oysters, mussels and other aquatic species to a large number of the province, and is famous for its fresh and greasy oyster products. This is also one of the key products of Quang Yen province in implementing the OCOP program, one product per commune and ward.

And when mentioning Hoang Tan, people will immediately remember the profession of hanging rope – a profession that attaches to the lives of coastal people, lives on the sea, contributes to the protection of the marine environment and receives precious gifts. prices from the sea.
