In Tinh Khe Commune, Quang Ngai Province, local authorities and residents have been working to restore mangrove forests along the Bai Ca and Kinh rivers. These efforts, which have focused on restoring more than 3 hectares of the existing 26-hectare forest, aim to create a “green shield” to protect the coastline from erosion, storm surges, and rising tides while supporting local livelihoods through aquatic resources.

However, the Kinh River is also experiencing severe siltation, which has narrowed the waterway. This environmental issue has created navigation challenges for fishermen, who report vessel damage and a reliance on high tides to avoid running aground. Additionally, the siltation and low water levels are negatively impacting tourism in the local water coconut forest. Residents have requested dredging operations to restore safe passage and economic stability.
