Following recent approval by the Da Nang authorities, around 1.9 billion VND from the city’s budget will be granted to locals who were affected by the mass fish deaths in the northern provinces of the central region in late April.

In particular, owners of under-90CV fishing vessels and coracles will be given financial assistance of nearly 1.7 billion VND in total.  A total of 17.7 million VND will go to help the Hai Nhi Fishery Cooperative to partly cover its seafood transportation and supplying costs. 

Seafood traders, along with food and drink, tricycle and parking service providers, at the Tho Quang seafood wholesale market will enjoy exemption from premises’ rental fees in May at a total cost of over 174 million VND.  The district-level authorities will take the responsibility for displaying a list of the beneficiaries at the market and individually informing them.
