On the afternoon of June 17, at My An beach (Da Nang), there were many domestic and international tourists coming to play sports , walk and swim.

However, according to records, a stretch of beach stretching dozens of meters here is "surrounded" by water hyacinth. In many places, tree trunks and leaves are crushed and scattered.

Down below, waves occasionally wash water hyacinths ashore. Some beachgoers have to scoop them up and throw them on the sand.

Mr. Trinh Duc Thanh (a tourist from Hanoi ) said that when he and his family went swimming in the sea, they were quite surprised to see a lot of duckweed drifting here.

"This beach is very beautiful and has many tourists, especially international tourists. They play volleyball, swim, or lie down reading books... Therefore, we need to clean up the duckweed soon to restore the fresh, clean space. Leaving such an image is a bit offensive" - Mr. Thanh shared.

On the same day, on the Facebook page of the Son Tra Peninsula Management Board and Da Nang tourist beaches, there was a post calling for volunteers to join hands for Da Nang beaches.

According to this unit, currently due to the impact of storm No. 1, a lot of garbage from upstream has washed up on the beach. To keep the beach green, clean and beautiful, the management board would like to call on union members, volunteers and people to join hands with the management board to clean up the environment on the Hoang Sa - Vo Nguyen Giap - Truong Sa and Nguyen Tat Thanh beaches. The time is from June 17 to 22.
