Located along the coastline, Trieu Phong District was subject to many naval attacks during the period of 1968-1972. That explains why many coastal communes are heavily impacted by unexploded projectiles, in addition to other explosive remnants of war. Last May, an eight-inch naval projectile was safely removed and destroyed by RENEW's EOD team from a farmer's paddy rice field in Trieu Hoa Commune.
