Authorities were present at Thuy Tien beach early in the morning to carry out their duties. Although it was not yet 7am, the beach was already bustling with market gatherings and seafood processing right at the water’s edge.

Seafood is not only brought in from basket boats but also transported from other places. Many makeshift tents have been set up to process and serve food on-site to tourists. Authorities have asked people to stop trading, move goods away from the beach area, and dismantle all tents.

Authorities and volunteer clubs and groups to protect the environment also clean up, collect trash, and return the beach to a clean and beautiful state.

Vice Chairman of Rach Dua Ward People's Committee Nguyen Huu Nam said that the peak period of order rectification aims to ensure environmental hygiene and safety for residents and tourists, building the image of Rach Dua Ward - Ho Chi Minh City as "green, clean, beautiful".

“From today, the ward will deploy a force of about 20 people, divided into two shifts, morning and afternoon, to regularly inspect and monitor. In the future, we will place notices prohibiting trading and market meetings and advise tourists not to buy seafood in the area and not to eat pre-processed seafood on the beach,” added Vice Chairman of Rach Dua Ward People’s Committee Nguyen Huu Nam.

For fishing vessels that regularly gather seafood in this area, Rach Dua ward will guide them to move to a suitable and regulated place; strictly control and trace the origin to gradually prevent the transportation of seafood from other places here for trading.
