SAFE WATER
MUI NE

One bay. Shared by everyone. Safe for everyone.

Mũi Né Bay is home to fishermen, families, swimmers and one of Vietnam's best-known watersports communities. Safe Water Mui Ne is a local initiative calling for swimming zones and active watersports areas to remain free from fishing nets, lines and buoys.

THE ISSUE

THE WATER IS SHARED.
THE RISK SHOULDN'T BE.

For generations, fishing has been part of life in Mũi Né. Today, the same coastline is also used every day by swimmers, families, kitesurfers and wingfoilers.

The problem begins when fishing lines, nets and buoys are placed through areas where people swim and ride. In the water, lines can be extremely difficult to see.

This initiative is not against fishing. It is about keeping incompatible activities from becoming a danger to one another.

Fishing belongs here.
Watersports belong here.
Safety has to belong here too.

WHY WE STARTED
SAFE WATER
MUI NE

After seeing the problem in Mũi Né Bay, C2SKY's Liz recorded this message on 18 September 2026.

Her message is simple: respect the people who make their living from the sea — and keep swimming and active watersports areas safe.

TRANSCRIPT +
  1. It's time to rewrite the story of our ocean, and it starts by making it safe again.
  2. This is Mũi Né Bay, one of the most popular beaches in the area.
  3. A place where families swim, where people learn, ride, and enjoy the ocean every single day.
  4. But today, fishing lines and fishing nets are being placed directly into swimming zones and active water sports area.
  5. They're often invisible in the water and they are dangerous.
  6. We fully respect local fishermen and their livelihoods.
  7. But public safety should never be compromised.
  8. A few nets should not put hundreds of people at risk every day, or block access to a public area, and that is why we're asking to be completely free from any kind of fishing nets, lines or buoys.
  9. So that everyone can enjoy the ocean safely.
  10. The ocean belongs to all of us.
  11. If you believe it should be safe and accessible, please sign this petition.
  12. Thank you.

Some images are illustrative references showing similar float and line arrangements, not all captured at this location.

A SIMPLE REQUEST

KEEP SWIMMING AND
WATERSPORTS AREAS CLEAR.

Safe Water Mui Ne is calling for the swimming zones and active watersports area of Mũi Né Bay to be kept completely free from fishing nets, lines and buoys.

Not to remove fishing from Mũi Né.

Not to turn one community against another.

Simply to keep the parts of the bay where people swim and practise watersports clear and safe.

ONE BAY.
