There is a 94km sea dyke especially to protect the coast in the storm season. But in recent years the increasing occurrence of strong tides and waves has been causing more and more landslides, leading to loss of land and sometimes even protective forests (Photo: VNA)

Forces are mobilised to protect the sea embankment from breaching (Photo: VNA)
