A traditional fishing village that floats atop emerald waters among lush karst formations in Lan Ha Bay, Vietnam. Villagers depend on the sea for survival and make a living from fishing, aquaculture, and tourism. It looks like paradise, but this unique way of life is threatened by wastewater, plastic pollution, unsustainable tourist activities, and climate change. If Lan Ha Bay is to remain a beautiful place to live and visit, tourists must take care to reduce their environmental impact while visiting—if they visit at all.
