Preliminary assessment of sea level rise impacts tocoastal ecosystems in Thua Thien - Hue

Coastal ecosystems such as estuaries, lagoons, gulfs, mangroves, coral reefs, sea grasses support high productivity and biodiversity in Viet Nam. The coastal ecosystems play a crucial role not only in biodiversity reserve but also in socio-economic and local residents’ daily life. In the setting o...
