Making a living in Tam Son fishing village

(Baonghean)With the unpredictable ebb and flow of the water and the increasing scarcity of fish and shrimp, the lives of the people in Tam Son fishing village (Anh Son district) have become precarious. Besides fishing for shrimp and fish in the river, they also raise fish in cages, ducks and geese on their boats; and raise cattle on land. However, they still frequently face hardship and desperately need the attention and support of authorities to have a small garden and a house to alleviate their worries when floods occur.

Here are some images we captured of the residents of Tam Son fishing village:
