Abstract
The Mekong River Delta has faced many impacts of climate change, sea level rise, and extreme climate. Besides, the exploitation and use of water resources and sand and gravel lead to serious riverbank and coastal erosion. In recent years, many innovative technologies of coastal protection have been applied to protect coastal erosion. In this paper, based on the results of two field investigations from the coast of Tien Giang province to Ca Mau province, a review of coastal protection also points out some advantages and disadvantages. The results indicated that the applied coastal protection technologies need to be further improved to limit the process of coastal erosion in the Mekong River Delta.
