At around 5 a.m., the fishing fleet near the shore arrived to sell fish. These vessels mainly fish around Ly Son island area. The boat departs the day before, fishes all night and returns to shore the next day to sell seafood. (Photo: Nguyen Ngoc)

To bring seafood to shore, fishermen will transfer seafood from large ships to small basket boats, while small traders wait on the beach to purchase. Fish purchasing takes place right at the edge of the waves. (Photo: Nguyen Ngoc)

Ms. Tran Thi Linh (Quang Ngai City) said that the fish is caught by fishermen near the shore so it is very fresh and the price is cheap. "I have to go 30km to get to the market. Even though it's far, coming here to buy and sell will make a profit. Today I bought 40kg of fish, which will be brought to retail in Quang Ngai City" (Photo: Nguyen Ngoc)

The entire Binh Chau commune has about 480 fishing boats with about 9,000 people making a living by fishing. Among them, there are about 200 vessels practicing near-shore fishing. (Photo: Nguyen Ngoc)

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hung - Chairman of Binh Chau Commune Fisheries Union said that the commune's near-shore fishing fleet works very effectively. This fleet fishes during the day, so costs are low and there are few risks. The caught seafood is consumed as soon as the ship arrives at port. (Photo: Nguyen Ngoc)

“Fishermen fishing near the shore can earn 400-500 thousand VND per day. In addition, it also creates many jobs for local people to earn more income," Mr. Hung said. (Photo: Nguyen Ngoc)
