According to a leader of Tam Ky city, Tam Thanh is often affected by storms and the impact of landslides and sea erosion threatens the local residents’ safety.

Therefore, Tam Ky suggested a project on strengthening the embarkment and planting coastal protection forests in Tam Thanh commune.

It includes the reinforcement of the existing 5.5km coastal embarkment and the concrete pavement, as well as planting protective trees along the embarkment.

At the same time, an additional 5-hectare coastal protection forest will be planted, contributing to directly protecting the living places of nearly 6,000 people in Tam Thanh commune, indirectly protecting the lives of nearly 150,000 people in Tam Ky city, and facilitating local economic and tourism development.
