Quang Nam seeks sustainable coast protection
VTV.vn - 100 domestic and international experts gathered at a workshop in the central province of Quang Nam on July 9 to seek sustainable ways to protect local coastline. The event was part of a project studying coastal erosion in Hội An Ancient Town

At the workshop, experts discussed the causes of landslides at local river mouths and coastal areas and proposed solutions. Experts stated that these natural phenomena, especially in Thu Bồn River and Cửa Đại beach, directly affect the livelihoods of locals. So far, millions of US dollars have been spent to address the situation with breakwater building and canal dredging. Yet, according to experts, these are just temporary measures, and long-term scientific solutions are needed to sustainably protect coastal areas.
