On September 26th, Ha Long Bay Management Department issued Notice No. 989/TB-BQLVHL on continuing to strengthen waste collection in Ha Long Bay.

In early September 2024, storm No. 3 (YAGI) caused severe damage to Quang Ninh province, including Ha Long Bay. Strong winds for many hours during the storm and rain circulation after the storm destroyed a significant part of the flora on the limestone islands. This poses many potential risks of landslides in the Bay.
