Ca Mau province is located in the southern tip of Vietnam with 307 kilometers long coastline. The province shares the common border with Kien Giang, Bac Lieu provinces on the north and east; the other directions are surrounded by the East Sea. That’s the reason why Ca Mau has an interlacing rivers and canals system, which have generated tangled flows in the province. There are seven large rivers: Ong Doc, Bay Hap, Cai Lon, Ganh Hao, Dam Doi, Trem Trem, and Bach Nguu. The province also comprises several offshore islands: Da Bac Island, Khoai Island and Chuoi Island. Besides, the province is also a bio-diversification area with two types of forest: salt marsh and cajuput.
