VTV.vn - Because of the impacts of climate change and coastal erosion, Kien Giang Province has lost more than 500 hectares of mudflats over the past 10 years.

This area was where the protection forests of the western coast of the region used to be. An Biên and An Minh are the two most affected districts. Without the protection forests, coastal erosion is getting more and more serious. In some areas, the waves have even reached the military dike, heavily affecting 500 households on the western coast of Kien Giang province.
