TPO - From October to December, people in fishing villages in Binh Dinh province take advantage of the opportunity to hunt for "seaweed", a type of seaweed that usually only grows on rocky cliffs.

 |
| According to fishermen, the current price of seaweed is fluctuating from 250,000 - 300,000 VND/kg fresh, about 1,100,000 - 1,200,000 VND/kg dry. |
 |
| For generations, people in coastal areas of Binh Dinh province such as Cat Tien, Cat Khanh (Phu Cat district); My An, Vinh Loi (Phu My district) or Nhon Ly, Nhon Hai (Quy Nhon city)... when discovering sea jam growing, they take advantage of the rough waves to swim to the rocky reefs far from shore to exploit it. |

 |
| Instead of choosing convenient locations, rocky beaches near the shore to pick like the elderly and women, young and strong men from fishing villages wear life jackets and swim to the reefs far from the shore, where the waves are strong, to pick. Because according to them, these places have a lot of seaweed and good quality. |
 |
| According to the people, if left for another month, the seaweed will age and turn green or yellow-green, and the seaweed jam will no longer be valuable. Therefore, from the beginning of the season, people rush to pick "sea luck" to earn extra income. |

| Seaweed grows on slippery rocks during rough seas, so people have to watch out for the waves while picking it, otherwise they will be swept away into the sea, endangering their lives. Therefore, everyone equips themselves with life jackets, gloves, shoes... when picking to avoid danger. Photo: Dung Nhan |
