dc.descriptionSummary of EEPSEA research report 2009-RR2 "Economic vulnerability and possible adaptation to coastal erosion in San Fernando City, Philippines" by Jaimie Kim E. Bayani, Moises A. Dorado and Rowena A. Doradoen
dc.description.abstractThis policy brief introduces the problem of coastal erosion in the Philippines and how best to address it in terms of economic and environmental factors. It draws from a study of the San Fernando coastline in the La Union region, where the value of resources, properties, structures and economic activities were assessed. It concludes that the most rational approach to adopt in defense of coastal areas is planned protection. Government officials largely agree with this strategy option. Sea-level rise due to climate change dynamics is a major concern across the archipelago.en
