The photo "Dolphins in the sea " was taken by the author in May 2022 during a creative trip to Hon Yen sea, Phu Yen.

The beauty of Hon Yen sea during purse seine fishing season
Every year from May to August, fishermen from Nhon Hoi village bustle out to sea on Hon Yen, using purse seine nets to catch seafood, mainly anchovies. This lifestyle has become an interesting subject for photography lovers across the country. Purse nets are used to catch fish by filtering water, and are dropped from the boat and pulled up onto the boat. Purse nets are used to catch fish in schools and are only dropped to a certain depth. When a school of anchovies is discovered, fishermen use a purse seine net to catch the fish.
