The southernmost province of Ca Mau is striving to basically curb erosion along local coastline, riverbanks, and residential areas by 2030 through numerous solutions as climate change impacts worsen. By 2030, it also looks to complete addressing erosion along the western coast, key areas on the eastern coast, and main rivers. The province strives to largely finish the settlement of erosion along the eastern coast and main rivers, as well as erosion hotspots in residential areas by 2035. Located at Vietnam’s southernmost tip, Ca Mau borders the sea on three sides, with a coastline of about 310km, more than 200km of which are currently affected by erosion. Its low-lying terrain, exposure to two tidal regimes, weak geological foundations and dense network of rivers and canals make the province especially vulnerable to flooding and landslides.
