Ca Mau (VNA) – The southernmost province of Ca Mauis lacking capital for construction of 37km of sea dykes amidst serious coastalerosions.

According to the provincial People’s Committee, the provinceneeds over 1.85 trillion VND (7.95 billion USD) to deal with the erosion along48.5km of coastline.

But so far, the province has received only 928 billion VND (39.9million USD), which is only enough for construction of about 11.2km of dykes.

The province has asked for more support from the central budgetto cope with erosion in sea and river banks as well as in some residentialareas.

Ca Mau is likely to need nearly 1.3 trillion VND ( 55.9million USD) for the work in the 2019-2020 period and over 707 billion VND forthe 2020-2025 period.

At the same time, the province has also asked for about 330billion VND to plant protective forests, and about 238 billion VND for protectingthe eastern coast.

Le Van Su, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’sCommittee, the province has mobilised capital from different sources for thework. So far, it has managed to fix many eroded areas with total length ofnearly 17.9km.-VNA
