Mr. Quang brought the fishing nets ashore, and the boat was covered with a tarpaulin, anchored, and tied carefully. After storm No. 3, Mr. Quang went out to sea but could not catch many fish because the water was murky. "Hearing that low pressure and storms could affect us, I and other fishermen brought the boat ashore to protect our property. We will only go out to sea when the weather is calm and the sea is calm," said Mr. Quang.
