Running through fishing factories out to the market

The southern province of Kien Giang has begun implementing a comprehensive plan to address environmental pollution at Tac Cau Port, one of the largest fishing ports in the country.

For almost a decade, Tac Cau Port, located on the riverside in Chau Thanh District, has been a hot spot for environmental pollution, with thousands of tonnes of seafood running through fishing factories out to the market every year leaving behind untreated waste that is poured straight into the river.
