Lam Dong strives to build embankments to protect the coast

dsc_0035(1).jpg — Lam Dong has a coastline of 192 km.

Lam Dong has an inland sea area of about 20,288 km², located on domestic and international shipping routes, and is considered one of the key areas of the country. The province's sea and coastal areas have many gently sloping beaches, fine white sand, beautiful scenery, especially the national urban tourist area of Mui Ne - a destination with great potential for sea tourism development.

In recent years, under the impact of climate change, high tides, rising sea levels, and increasingly intense storms and floods have caused serious erosion and landslides along the coast. This phenomenon directly affects people's lives and property, while also damaging infrastructure and affecting the business activities of coastal tourism establishments.

Up to now, the whole province has built 26.88 km of sea dykes, including 21.56 km of solid dykes (Phu Quy Special Zone alone has 5.06 km) and 5.32 km of temporary dykes, with a total cost of up to tens of thousands of billions of VND. In addition to state resources, tourist establishments in the Ham Tien - Mui Ne area have also proactively invested in 3.52 km of protective dykes, including: 8 stone-filled dykes (1,120 m), 2 concrete dykes (1,024 m) and 11 Geotube sand dykes (1,380 m).

Of the province's total 192 km of mainland coastline, only 16.5 km (8.6%) have been built with solid embankments; currently, more than 25.9 km of coastline is still eroding and needs early investment in protection works.

According to the People's Committee of Lam Dong province, the construction of anti-erosion embankments has always received special attention from the province in recent years. However, due to the long coastline, many new areas have experienced erosion, while the budget is still limited, so investment must be carried out step by step, prioritizing according to the level of urgency.
