Inspection team finds no layers of
dead fish underwater
A diving group sent by the
Department of Natural Resources and Environment said they found no layers of
dead fish on the seabed in Quang Binh Province as reported by local fishermen.
Decaying sea cucumbers, scallops and oysters found
on the seabed in Dong Hoi City
An inspection team from the Marine Natural Resources -
Environmental Survey Centre co-operated with a group of divers from Nha Trang
City and the Department of Natural Resources and Environment in Quang Binh to
survey and take water samples at locations that were reported to have layers of
dead fish and a white substance covering the corals.
However, the group said they had found no layers
of dead fish or white substance as reported by fishermen.
Phan Xuan Hao, head of Quang Binh Environment
Protection Department, said they collected various samples of water, mud and
sediment for tests. Official announcements will be made after they have the
final results for the tests of the water on the surface as well as near the
seabed.
On May 7, divers from Quang Phu Commune, Dong Hoi
City brought back a lot of coral that had appeared to have turned from red to
white. They also brought up decaying sea cucumbers, scallops and oysters.
According to the divers, they had seen many dead fish on the seabed two weeks
ago but now there was no fish, dead or alive.

Coral appeared to have turned from red to white
Last week, fishermen in Nhan Trach Commune, Quang Binh Province
found layers of dead fish underwater while diving into the local seabed some
2-3 nautical miles from the shore.
Nguyen Can, a local fisherman, who usually fishes
near the shore, said that normally his net was very dirty when fishing in the
coral reef area, but recently, it is very different in colour as it has become
whiter and looked almost new. He suspects that the sea water contains
detergents.
