A busy fishing village in the Mui Ne Harbour. . The South China Sea is an area ripe with political strife and environmental concerns. China has aggressively claimed most of the waters as their own, leaving the surrounding developing nations' fishermen to make their living in disputed waters - a dangerous way to support a family. ⚓🚢 . The dispute over who owns the region has turned the area into a wild west for fisheries. As a result, the whole area has seen a rapid decline in sea animal populations due to overfishing. In some areas of the South China Sea only one tenth of the fish populations are left (compared to 60 years ago) and many reefs have been fished dry leaving nothing behind. 🐳🐬🐠🦈🐙🐚🦀🦐🦑 More interesting info on this topic at Nat Geo: http://bit.ly/natgeoscsea . #themoreyouknow #southchinasea #vietnam #muine #fishing #travelgram (at Fishing Village Mui Ne Harbor)
