The bay is also harmed by industrial waste. In the picture, construction companies used waste from coal mines to encroach to the sea in Cam Pha city, Quang Ninh province.

“We can collect normal waste by fishing them out but industrial waste and waste water discharged by factories and hotels at night is difficult to be controlled,” said Mr. Nguyen Cong Thai, vice chief of the Ha Long Bay Management Board.

According to the Ha Long Bay Management Board, they collect around 2.5
tons of daily waste on the bay each day.
