VTV.vn - A section of a sea dike on the western coast of the southernmost province of Ca Mau is at high risk of being breached due to the strong waves that have been hitting the coast for several days.

The sea dike in Tran Van Thoi district on Ca Mau's western coast may be breached soon. Ca Mau has over 250 kilometers of coastline, of which around 108km is on the western coast. In recent years the rising amount of strong tides and waves have been causing more and more landslides, leading to loss of land and sometimes even protective forests.

Experts are concerned that landslides will be even more serious in the coming days as the weather is forecast to continue having strong winds from level 5 to 7, with high waves reaching 1 to 2 meters.
