Riverside and coastal projects threaten Cham IsleVietNamNet Bridge - The Cham Isle ecosystem has very close relations with the sea environment. The Quang Nam provincial authorities have decided that they will be cautious when programming the development of the Cham Isle and licensing investment projects. When waste is discharged into the sea, the waste will follow the ocean currents to affect the ecosystems in Cham Isle. The coastal projects will have strong impacts on the sea environment. Nguyen Van Vu, head of the International Cooperation Division of the Cu Lao Cham (Cham Isle) Marine Protected Area (MPA), showed his concern that the development of the transport infrastructure and human activities will harm the conservation of ecosystems at the Cham Isle world’s biosphere reserve.The coastal projects, for example, will have strong impacts on the sea environment.
