Coastal erosion in the southernmost province Ca Mau is washing away up to 400 ha of protective forests each year and threatening 120,000 ha of agricultural land.

 

A report by the province's Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said 189 km out of the province's 254 km of coast is suffering from severe erosion.

 

The western coastline of 147 km loses 20-50 m of land a year on average, and the eastern coastline of 107 km, loses 45-50 m, it said.
