disadvantages of living
near the sea
In our country, there are many possibilities and opportunities for economic
development. Therefore, the situation of people's life will be extremely stable if
they know how to make use of, exploit and grasp. There are many ways to
develop but choosing to live near the sea to earn a living is a big bet because it is
not easy.

First of all we will talk about its benefits first. Life near the sea brings a lot of good
things fishing and aquaculture ; Shrimp, crab, fish, ... with endless quantities and
high economic value, if possible, can invest in offshore fishing to bring better
income. In addition, we can trade in tourism, resort, take advantage of nature,
pristine plants and gentle beauty of the majestic ocean. It is also possible to
continue the traditional salt making village, which has existed for a long time.
Advantages for trading and exchanging goods between regions of the whole
region. Not only that, but the life near the sea gives us a pleasant feeling,
especially at night, the sound of the rippling waves and the wind blowing in the
ear gives us a peace and space, extremely romantic. According to medicine, sea
air has healing power, can cure respiratory organs and reduce the severity of
diseases such as: Helping to treat skin diseases, Reduce respiratory infections,
Improve Sleep and mood, Increase the amount of vitamin D high, Good for you
Mind, Protect against cardiovascular problems, Enhance exercise efficiency. For
so many benefits, we often want to get back to the sea when we get older.

Besides, living near the sea also has many drawbacks. It is not easy to adapt to the
natural conditions of the sea. The sunshine of the sea is easy for us skin to get
dull and dry. Living in salt and brackish water area also changes taste and may not
be good for health. The situation that local people have no sense of business,
direct discharging into the environment makes the problem of sea pollution
become more serious, especially the situation of cutting trees and encroaching on
the sea to build up is extremely bad and same danger. Not only because of
people's consciousness, but also because the sea management policy is not really
strict. Thereby leading to people from local people to tourists, most of them have
no sense of self-protection of the environment. From the above things lead to the
pollution of the marine environment, natural disasters, floods, tsunamis, ... a
series of natural disasters bring about people's lives here extremely difficult.

No matter how we choose life anywhere, if we live well , useful and have faith in
the present, it will be a motivation for us to overcome all difficulties and
hardships. I am an extremely fond of the sea, I like the sound of pattering on its
shore. I wish I could once blend into the lives of the people here to listen to what
they felt.

“If you want to build a ship, don’t herd people together to collect wood and don’t
assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless
immensity of the sea.”- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
