Nghe An (VNA) – All tests of sea water in the central province of Nghe An conducted since late April showed the water meets the national standards on sea water quality, the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment said on June 8.

A total of 41 sea water samples were taken for testing from Quynh Phuong beach in Hoang Mai town, Quynh Nghia beach in Quynh Luu district, Dien Thanh beach in Dien Chau district, and Cua Lo and Cua Hoi beaches in Cua Lo town.
