Specifically, according to a quick report from the Ha Long Bay Management Board, heavy rain lasting from June 7 to 9 caused flooding.

After the water receded, a large amount of garbage was brought to Ha Long Bay, and heavy rain also brought leaves from the rocky islands down to the sea.

Along with that, foam buoys from aquaculture areas next to Ha Long Bay, combined with leaves, have caused environmental incidents for this world natural heritage.

Immediately after the incident, the Ha Long Bay Management Board mobilized 50 people and 20 vehicles to collect floating trash on the sea.

In particular, the Ha Long Bay Management Board also coordinated with the Cat Ba Bay Management Board ( Hai Phong ) to collect garbage in the border areas. It is expected that by June 15, the environmental incident in Ha Long Bay will be resolved.

The area of ​​the Quang Ninh Provincial Planning, Fair and Exhibition Center is also surrounded by foam inflatables.

The Ha Long Bay Management Board recommends that the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province direct the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and local authorities along the coast to strengthen local management, preventing the spread of foam buoys and waste to the World Natural Heritage Ha Long Bay.
