On the afternoon of September 1, Mr. Huynh Binh Thai - Head of Nha Trang Bay Management Board - confirmed that clumps of oil had just washed ashore on Nha Trang beach.
According to initial information, on the morning of the same day, some residents and tourists discovered clumps of oil washing ashore. Some tourists even accidentally stepped on the oil while jogging and posted the information on social media to warn.
Head of Nha Trang Bay Management Board Huynh Binh Thai said that after receiving information from tourists, the unit coordinated with Nha Trang Urban Environment Joint Stock Company to clean up the oil clumps that washed ashore.
In addition, Nha Trang Bay Management Board has reported the incident to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Nha Trang City for further handling.
It is known that the clumped oil that washed ashore in Nha Trang appeared in the area of 2/9 Square and the area opposite the Four Seasons Nha Trang cafe.
