Description
These two guys were there early in the morning, before sunrise and before the barge went by our anchorage. They were skimming the surface of the water to catch any flotsam that may be drifting on the surface, such as plastic bottles, wrappers and anything else that may have been carelessly disposed of by tourists.
Ha Long Bay is a World Heritage Site and the Vietnamese government is acutely aware of the potential for much needed currency that can be generated by the Tourist trade. They know that keeping the place in pristine condition, restrict commercial shipping to a minimum, and maintain the serenity of the area is important to their economy.

That is cool, great capture!
A super photo! I think litter louts should be punished like in Singapore. Our beach was absolutely disgusting after last weekend, it costs thousands a year to clean.
Glad to see the cleaning guys at work. far too much trash ends up in the world's oceans.
This is wonderful! Glad that a government recognizes the value of clean water and land to enhance tourism
They are doing a great job.
Toll, was du hier wieder vor die Linse bekommen hast!

Quite a seagoing chair:-) Great idea keeping the place clean...kind of like a FOD walk in the Air Force.
Excellent capture and interesting comment on the famous Ha Long Bay that must be a wonderful landmark.
the water seems amazingly clear. superb capture
I'm happy to learn that everywhere on Earth, human beings are aware of the importance of having a clean environment. Taking care of our planet is our duty! Alas some countries still neglect it, and not necessarily the poorest ones ! Thanks for sharing this beautiful picture that brings hope !
