Worry of poisonous sea
8/5/16
Thus, the cause of dead fish
around the central coastal strip, from Ha Tinh to Thua Thien - Hue, has been
reveal with an important initial conclusion: poisoning!
People do not know where the poison comes
from but only a phenomenon that there is a giant sewage pipe diameters up to
1.2 m, 1.5 km length beneath sea level 12 meters (lisenced by MONRE from
December 2015) from Formosa, Vung Ang economic Zone in Ha Tinh flowing directly
into the sea. Noticeably, Formosa has just rinsed pipe without notice to local
(in contravention of MONRE). It is known that Formosa has just entered on a
large number of 45 kinds of chemicals, many of which are extremely toxic
substance to handle waste and flushing pipe. Another notable information,
automatic monitoring station of Formosa’s discharge pipe has not been connected
and transferred data to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of
Ha Tinh. All the investigation, analysis is focusing on the place of origin of
fish poisoning phenomenon - Ha Tinh, because kinds of fish in the vice
provincial coastal ocean currents (from Ha Tinh to the North) are not dead, only dead fishes in ocean currents
swept the province of Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien - Hue.
We have not yet known the true culprit
causing environmental disaster affecting fisheries aquaculture and tourism
throughout the central coast but people need to know how many pipes as Formosa’s
ones are being plugged into the sea of Vietnam? How is the control of the
discharge pipe and do they supervised constantly? How did the automated
monitoring system required by law of the discharge pipe work, can it monitor
all kinds of poison, who is responsible for tracking, monitoring and data
storage? Which agencies are responsible for providing the public information
and announcing in advance? A series of questions seemed no answer.
Since the case of company Vedan
discharged toxic waste into Thi Vai River, public opinion has paid attention to
the discharge of waste into waterways. Facing environmental disaster in central
coast, we make sure that the discharge pipe into the sea as Formosa will fall
into the "radar" of public opinion, forcing the authorities to
strictly control under the responsibility assigned to them.
Marine is survival space and development
of the nation as well as extremely important economy tied to resource
extraction, fisheries, tourism... of our country. Our responsibility not only
firmly protects sovereignty, but also preserves the healthy environment of
thousands of kilometers of beautiful coastline for future generations.

Authorities are looking into whether pollution is to blame for a spate of mysterious mass fish deaths along the country’s central coast
Tonnes of fish, including rare species which live far offshore and in the deep, have been discovered on beaches along the country’s central coastal provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Tri, Quang Binh and Hue.
We have never seen anything like it
The strange situation first came to light when farmed fish in the area began dying in great numbers with locals later discovering huge numbers of dead fish on beaches.
Hanoi has dispatched teams of environmental experts and officials to investigate the phenomenon
Vietnam has a long coastline and much of the country’s export income depends on seafood, including farmed shrimp, catfish and wild-caught tuna.
Central Vietnam under a lot of natural disasters, people living very miserable and hard, mainly dependent on fishing and aquaculture. Now fallen into distress because life is threatened.
we must save the sea for our future generations!
Sea has helped Vietnamese people for centuries. Last year, the country earned $6.6bn from seafood exports. Now it is facing danger, we must save our sea.
All of us is worried about polutted environment situation.
