“…It further causes beach sediment erosion, lower beach topography, and local souring along the Hai Hau coast [ 47 ]. Meanwhile, the erosion even cause damaged and collapse of the coastal infrastructure such as sea dyke and road [ 34 , 48 ].…”

“…The coastal event or hazards could affect the coastal region in both direct and indirect ways. Coastal hazards such as typhoons, storm surges, tropical storms, strong waves, and the rise of sea levels have not only had a direct impact on the coastline but have also had unfavorable consequences such as floods or saline intrusion, which have influenced infrastructure, deteriorated coastal or tourist facilities and livelihoods, and caused problems further inland and in agricultural zones [ 47 , 48 , 50 ].…”

“…Protection was the most implemented approach in the erosion control strategy in Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia coastline [ 40 , 48 ]. As coastal protection at Di Duong Beach, Vietnam, they constructed a low soft seawall by pumping sand into a tube and using geotextile [ 51 ].…”

“…Wave attacks and typhoons have repeatedly breached it. To adapt the SLR impact, Vietnam government had planting mangrove forest, upgrade and develop sea dike system along road side and construct sluice system to strengthening, upgrading and rehabilitating sea dikes system along Quang Ninh to Quang Nam and Quang Ngai to Kien Giang [ 48 ]. In Thailand, rock and concrete stepped revetments have been implemented and proven successful in many beaches.…”

“…[32] estimated that between 1979 and 1996 Thailand lost more than 50% of its mangrove areas driven as a result of degradation, sea level rise, river damming and sediment starvation [33]. Mangroves provide a wide range of ecosystem services including supporting biodiversity, carbon storage and sequestration, locking away pollutants [34][35][36][37][38], and they also provide coastal protection [39], as was noted following the 2004 tsunami in south east Asia [40][41][42]. In the context of mangrove recession, the Thai government and local authorities have been working together to reverse that trend by passing strong conservation laws and restoration campaigns since 1996.…”

In Thailand, 17% of the population lives by the coast, approximately 11 million people. A combination of coastal erosion, sea level rise and coastal land subsidence are critical issues threatening the livelihoods of coastal communities. Thailand has invested a lot of money and installed conservation policies to restore and protect coastal mangroves and realign or replenish their beaches. This study assessed the use of the toolkit Coastsat to digitise a time series of shoreline positions from open access satellite images between 1990 and 2019 along 560 km of coastline in the provinces of Krabi and Nakhon Si Thammarat (NST). Based on these digitised shorelines and the use of the software Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS), it was possible to identify shoreline change, which varied between -66 to +16.4 m/y in the mangroves of NST and -22.2 to +10.6 m/year on its sandy beaches. Shoreline change rates along the Krabi coast varied -34.5 to +21.7 m/year in the mangroves and -4.1 to +4 m/year on sandy beaches. Analysis of the spatial and temporal variations of the shoreline position during the survey period reveals a linkage between extreme weather conditions and coastal erosion along the NST coast while that linkage is less clear along the Krabi coast. CoastSat delivers crucial and accurate time series shoreline data over extensive areas that are vital to coastal managers and researchers in a completely remote manner, which is key with the presence of COVID-19 travel bans.

Prevention policies for the marine ecological environment in the South China Sea as a consequence of excessive plastic compound use in Vietnam

Vietnam suffers from a distressing predicament: It ranks among the most heavily contaminated nations on earth. Its coastal and marine domains are plagued by an excess of plastic waste. Vietnam has consistently discharged a substantial amount of waste into the oceans, ranging from 0.28 to 0.73 million metric tons annually. Numerous areas have emerged as focal points of plastic pollution throughout its extensive seashore and marine areas. The escalating presence of marine litter poses an increasingly grave threat to the intricate equilibrium of Vietnam's marine ecosystems. This comprehensive policy study reveals that the mounting problem of ocean plastic pollution, characterized by the abundance of floating plastic debris, imperils both plant and animal life, placing various marine species such as seabirds, fish, turtles, and cetaceans at risk. The consumption of minuscule plastic particles and the harmful impact of chemical pollutants from plastic waste in the ocean not only endangers the vitality of marine life but also poses a substantial hazard to human well‐being because plastic waste infiltrates the food chain. This research reveals that, despite the existence of numerous laws and policies—including the Law on Environmental Protection 2020, the Marine Plastic Waste Management Initiative for the Fisheries Sector 2020–2030, and the National Action Plan for Management of Marine Plastic Litter—a significant amount of plastic waste is infiltrating the river network and eventually infiltrating oceans as a result of improper monitoring and ineffective enforcement of these legislations. Relying primarily on existing data released by the government and other sources and a wide range of gray literature retrieved from reputable databases, this study aims to evaluate the role of Vietnam's legal framework for combating the critical issue of marine plastic pollution in the South China Sea.
