| Once the squid are cornered, fishermen jump into the water to catch them. |

| Fishing can involve one or more people. In the photo: A couple in two coracles spread their net to trap squid and other seafood, as also harvest seaweed. |

| Before cutting, fishermen use nets to surround the seaweed so that the seaweed does not drift away. One kilo of seaweed costs about 5,000 VND (nearly 0.2 USD). A fisherman can earn about 200,000 VND (8 .7 USD) from the profession. |
