00:00:03.608 --> 00:00:08.096 
According to reporter Ba Lo Dong, in
early November 2024, Tien Giang had only 

00:00:08.096 --> 00:00:11.943 
completed more than 8.8 km of
wave-reducing dikes, while more than 6.8 

00:00:11.943 --> 00:00:15.148 
km of wave-reducing dikes had yet
to be invested in. 

00:00:15.588 --> 00:00:20.022 
Because the dike has not been closed,
some sections have been hit by waves, 

00:00:20.022 --> 00:00:23.822 
causing the dike to deteriorate. In
addition, the loss of protective forests 

00:00:23.822 --> 00:00:25.088 
threatens this sea dike. 

00:00:26.761 --> 00:00:32.811 
Tan Dien beach area, when the flood
season comes, will affect 

00:00:32.811 --> 00:00:34.461 
the dike surface. 

00:00:34.881 --> 00:00:38.249 
Especially the water will be high
pressure on the dike surface, it will 

00:00:38.249 --> 00:00:40.321 
affect the structure of the dike surface later. 

00:00:40.781 --> 00:00:42.521 
Currently some sections are degraded, 

00:00:43.361 --> 00:00:48.421 
It also affects the production of
colleagues in each non-forested area, 

00:00:49.281 --> 00:00:50.321 
especially people produce rice. 

00:00:50.761 --> 00:00:54.481 
When the season of no obstacles comes,
water vapor, sea vapor, and 

00:00:54.481 --> 00:00:55.721 
sea breeze blow in. 

00:00:55.721 --> 00:00:58.221 
will affect the production of people's colleagues. 

00:00:58.402 --> 00:01:02.482 
The previous stage received attention
and support from central funding. 

00:01:02.482 --> 00:01:09.496 
The province has also invested so far in
more than 8,800 meters of wave-reducing 

00:01:09.496 --> 00:01:12.002 
embankments to protect the coast. 

00:01:12.962 --> 00:01:24.602 
To close this sea dike, we need to
invest about 6,800 more meters. 

00:01:24.602 --> 00:01:29.142 
Up to now, we have completed
the preparation work. 

00:01:29.142 --> 00:01:33.342 
and are also waiting for central
government support for our implementation. 

00:01:34.261 --> 00:01:38.862 
Go Cong sea dike with a road length of
more than 21 km, this is a dike with the 

00:01:38.862 --> 00:01:41.041 
task of protecting nearly 54,000 hectares of natural land, 

00:01:41.401 --> 00:01:44.357 
including about 43,000 hectares of
cultivated land in 4 communes and 

00:01:44.357 --> 00:01:45.701 
towns of Tien Giang province. 

00:01:46.321 --> 00:01:50.086 
If we do not invest in the remaining 6.8
km of wave-reducing dike, the long-term 

00:01:50.086 --> 00:01:51.341 
effects of climate change will 

00:01:51.341 --> 00:01:55.401 
The impact of sea waves will continue to
damage and degrade the Go Cong sea dike. 

00:01:55.801 --> 00:01:58.901 
thereby affecting the lives and
activities of about 600,000 people.
