Hundreds of meters of temporary embankment in Cam An ward were damaged by waves combined with rising sea water and strong winds, and a large amount of sand was washed away. The average depth was from 5-7 meters, creating a deep trench into the shore.

According to recent records, big waves and strong winds have caused serious erosion on the coast of Hoi An ( Quang Nam ) through Tan Thanh block, Cam An ward.

The landslide is about 200 m long, with an average depth of 5-7 m, forming a deep trench into the coast.

The temporary embankment was damaged by high waves and strong winds, washing away a large amount of sand.

Faced with landslides, owners of coastal tourist establishments buy sand and sacks to reinforce the coast to protect their property.

Local people said that to cope with landslides, people and tourist establishments here spent hundreds of millions of dong to buy bamboo to build soft embankments, sacks, sand, carpets and hire workers, machines, etc.

A restaurant owner in the area said the landslide happened nearly a week ago, with high waves hitting the temporary embankment, tearing apart previously reinforced sandbags and tending to encroach further inland. The restaurant had to buy bags, sand and hire workers to reinforce and protect the shore.

When the waves "swallowed" deep into the mainland, they tore the sacks open, washing away all the sand inside.

The sea is eating away at the mainland, threatening homes and businesses.

Recently, the leaders of Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee directed the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and Hoi An City People's Committee to inspect the landslide situation at Cam An beach, the section passing through Tan Thanh block, Cam An ward, Hoi An city.

In the immediate future, the city government will use sandbag embankments to temporarily block waves to limit landslides. In addition, the People's Committee of Hoi An City has directed the Economic Department and relevant departments to conduct surveys, prepare economic-technical reports and investment documents to submit to competent authorities for consideration and allocation of funds to overcome landslides in this area.

In addition, Hoi An City People's Committee requested the Steering Committee for Flood and Storm Prevention of Quang Nam province and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of the province to inspect and consider advising the Provincial People's Committee to declare an emergency situation regarding landslides at Tan Thanh beach.
