nha trang oceanography institute
The Institute was founded in 1923, on the large tract of waste land next to the port Cau Da. The laboratory, research room, library and store house,... these all make a large compound of high buildings, the structure of which is in perfect harmony with the surrounding slopes poetically named the "Dragon dancing over the waters", crowned with the green foliage that provides restful shades.
 
From the Liberation Day (1975) up to the present, along with other meaningful scientific studies, the Institute has conducted many researches. The effects of this cooperative work have been far-reaching contributing much to the prosperity of the country.

About ten kilometers off the coast of Khanh Hoa Province, especially within the confine of Nha Trang sea region, is the home of sea wallows that build their nests there, this brings huge profits from the exploitation of the swallows'nests that has become a century-old business operation of local people.
