Ha Tinh province stabilizes production for fishermen
VTV.vn - As of the time of this report, a total of nearly 42 million USD had been spent to compensate fishermen in Ha Tinh who has been affected by the environmental incident in the central region last May.

The funds have helped local fishing families to resume production or open up new small business opportunities. In Ky Xuan commune, Ky Anh district, the incident affected 144 boats and ships, which includes about 800 fishermen and workers. Most of the compensation fees have been handed out, assisting boat owners to refurbish their boats and to buy new fishing tools. The province of Ha Tinh also has a separate policy to give out preferential loans to fishermen to build offshore fishing boats.
