Rescuing corals, returning life to the 'forest at the bottom of the water'

Amidst the turquoise waters, volunteers patiently dive to a depth of 4-5 m, carefully cutting, removing and cleaning each cluster of coral, rebuilding the cracks, and bringing life back to the 'forest at the bottom of the water'. It is not only a job but also a commitment to nature.

At Son Tra peninsula - the "green lung" of Da Nang , groups of volunteers have volunteered to dive to pick up trash to rescue corals, remove ghost nets - dangers that are silently destroying the marine ecosystem. Each tangled rope, each plastic bag, beer can, bottle... removed is a time to save corals, protect the habitat of seafood species, including many rare species living symbiotically on coral reefs.

This action spreads a strong message: "Everyone can contribute to protecting the ocean". Conservation does not wait for anyone else, it starts with ourselves, with understanding, love and practical actions in Son Tra in particular and the whole country in general, to keep life peaceful at the bottom of the water and contribute to marine tourism, marine economy as well as spread the pride of the most livable city in Vietnam.
