Part II Coastal Environment Issues
Pollution Discharging solid waste and liquid waste into the river or
beach directly.
• Agricultural activities: Using chemical fertilizer and
insecticide
Industrial activities: disposing the waste, particularly
liquid waste into the sea directly
Degradation of Natural Resources Fisheries: Using illegal fishing instrument such as
push nets, drag nets, dynamite, or fish poison

Part II Coastal Environment Issues
Degradation of Natural ResourcesMangroves:
There are approximately 63,039 ha (1997)
and it was further reduced to 56,241 ha (2002
by JICA and MOE)
The depletion of mangrove forest caused by
human activities: Cutting for charcoal and wood
production, clearing the mangrove forest for
agriculture purpose.

the depletion of natural resources such as
mangrove forest, fish, coral, seagrasses
and sand can cause some problems: fish
shortage, pollution, beach erosion and
other problems.

Conclusion All in all, pollution, degradation of natural
resources and other environmental issues along the coastal area are still the important issues to be concern.
Suggestion:◦ government and line ministries as well as other
institutions should pay more attention to coastal area issues and take action immediately if necessary.
◦ Local authorities in close collaboration with communities should carry out monitoring and enforcing the existing law effectively.
