Abstract
The main purpose of this chapter is to provide an assessment of the coastal erosion situation in Vietnam, covering its present status of erosion at the national and the subnational levels. Erosion can be caused by a number of factors, including the impacts of sea level rise (SLR). Relevant laws and policies for addressing coastal erosion, various types of measures for coastal erosion, gaps and needs to address coastal erosion in terms of national policies, and legal and institutional arrangements to address coastal erosion are also given.
