Ca Mau Province in the southern tip of Vietnam has lost 5,251 hectares to coastal erosion over the last 10 years and is seeking VND970 million (US$40,774) of aid from the state to build more embankment.

 

The Ca Mau People’s Committee asked for the money in a recent letter sent to the Ministry of Planning and Investment, saying that erosion is a big and increasing threat to local livelihoods.

 

The area lost to erosion over the past decade is as large as a commune in the province, the People’s Committee said.
