In Cam Lap farming area (Nam Cam Ranh commune), Mr. Do Thanh Buu's family mobilized 10 workers to harvest green lobsters in 50 cages. Mr. Buu said: “My family raises 500 shrimp cages in Cam Lap sea area with all sizes, of which 50 are about 4-5 shrimp/kg in size, although not yet grade 1 (3 shrimp/kg), the family still decided to sell them to avoid the storm. Also according to Mr. Buu, to proactively respond to the upcoming storm, in addition to reinforcing anchors around rafts and cages, weak cages that are not safe will be moved to other cages, and the cage mouths will be sewn tightly to avoid loss. Hearing that the storm could directly affect Khanh Hoa , his family did not take it lightly but tried to reinforce it as much as possible. By noon on November 6, after feeding the shrimp, all workers on the rafts will go ashore to avoid the storm. Similar to Mr. Buu's family, other shrimp farmers throughout Cam Ranh Bay are also busy harvesting commercial shrimp to avoid damage when the storm hits.
