Fish fear this village
Though a massive flotilla of solar panels wouldn't be a bad idea in this sunny setting, the gridded apparatuses we see here harvest the sea, not the sky. The floating structures of Ben Beo village serve doubly as structural supports for small family homes and as enclosures for farming shrimp, fish, seaweed, and other oceanic bounty. Hundreds of families live and work here in Ben Beo, one of many seabound communities that bolster Vietnam's robust aquaculture economy.
