This paper uses a case study of the Hồi An–Da Nang corridor inQuảng Nam province, Việt Nam, to examine some of the pressuresthat whale worship – a traditional cultural practice of coastal fishingcommunities in central and southern Việt Nam – has faced since the̶Dồi reforms of 1986. Whale temples, the physical manifestation ofthe veneration of the whale as an ancestor of fishers, are coming underincreasing pressure as tourism development displaces coastal communities fromthe shores and as the younger generations turn their back on the sea as a sourceof livelihood. The paper seeks to draw attention to a locally importantmanifestation of intangible cultural heritage, the existence of which isthreatened even before the country's first tentative efforts at culturalheritage conservation come into full swing
