Fishermen on Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
Towering limestone karst formations rise out of the turquoise waters at Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the coast of northern Vietnam. Ha Long means 'where the dragon descends into the sea' and its a great place to take a boat cruise among the ~2000 islands. The marine ecosystem of the bay is very diverse and it is heavily fished for squid, shrimp and other mollusks, and for hundreds of species of fish, by fishermen who live in floating villages and go out daily in small traditional design fishing boats.
