In a remarkable display of regional cooperation, the Chinese mainland and Vietnam have jointly released thousands of fish and shrimp into the Beibu Gulf. This large-scale initiative aims to restore marine biodiversity and enhance the livelihoods of local fishermen from both countries.
The Beibu Gulf, a vital fishing area for the region, has faced challenges due to overfishing and environmental changes. By restocking the gulf with native species, both nations are taking significant steps toward sustainable fishing practices and the preservation of marine ecosystems.
“This joint effort not only boosts our fishery resources but also strengthens the friendship between our peoples,” said a representative from the Chinese mainland’s fisheries department. Vietnamese officials echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of collaboration in addressing environmental concerns.
Local fishermen are optimistic about the impact of the release. “With more fish in the sea, we hope to see better catches, which means better income for our families,” shared a fisherman from a coastal village near the gulf.
The joint fish release is part of a broader commitment by the Chinese mainland and Vietnam to promote sustainable development and environmental protection in the region. As both countries continue to work together, initiatives like this pave the way for a more prosperous and ecologically balanced future.
