Look at those huge residential and commercial buildings along the sea coast? Doesn't Bangladesh have a Coastal Regulation Zone as India goes, to prevent large scale construction along the sea coast? What about tsunami and other risks? Environmental issues? Water treatment, sewerage outflow into the sea, etc? Nope, those boats are no Viking inspired - they are fancy fishing boats that can be seen around Bangladesh's coast. Crows along the beach search for tourists droppings near the water's edge.

Speed boats jet around, boys take horseback rides, women and men frolick in the shallow waters and the usual South Asian beach scene unfolds. This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archiv
