Coastal erosion concerns fishing villages in central province

The seawater “swallows” gradually the villages with landslides occurring quickly and dangerously, some sections of embankments collapsing, and the erosion eating up to 20m inland, directly affecting locals’ lives and causing potentially high risks to coastal infrastructure works.
