Mangrove forests can ameliorate the impacts of typhoons and storms, but their extent is threatened by coastal development. The northern coast of Vietnam is especially vulnerable as typhoons frequently hit it during the monsoon season. However, temporal change information in mangrove cover distribution in this region is incomplete. Therefore, this study was undertaken to detect change in the spatial distribution of mangroves in Thanh Hoa and Nghe An provinces and identify reasons for the cover change. Landsat satellite images from 1973 to 2020 were analyzed using the NDVI method combined with visual interpretation to detect mangrove area change. Six LULC classes were categorized: mangrove forest, other forests, aquaculture, other land use, mudflat, and water. The mangrove cover in Nghe An province was estimated to be 66.5 ha in 1973 and increased to 323.0 ha in 2020. Mangrove cover in Thanh Hoa province was 366.1 ha in 1973, decreased to 61.7 ha in 1995, and rose to 791.1 ha in 2020. Aquaculture was the main reason for the loss of mangroves in both provinces. Overall, the percentage of mangrove loss from aquaculture was 42.5% for Nghe An province and 60.1% for Thanh Hoa province. Mangrove restoration efforts have contributed significantly to mangrove cover, with more than 1300 ha being planted by 2020. This study reveals that improving mangrove restoration success remains a challenge for these provinces, and further refinement of engineering techniques is needed to improve restoration outcomes.

The erosion of limestone and calcarenite ridges that existed parallel to the Mediterranean shoreline forms the calcareous sand (CS) formation at the surface layer of Egypt's northern coast. The CS is often combined with broken shells which are considered geotechnically problematic due to their possible crushability and relatively high compressibility. In this research, CS samples collected from a site along the northern coast of Egypt are studied to better understand its behavior under normal and shear stresses. Reconstituted CS specimens with different ratios of broken shells (BS) are also investigated to study the effect of BS ratios on the soil mixture strength behavior. The strength is evaluated using laboratory direct-shear and one-dimensional compression tests (oedometer test). The CS specimens are not exposed to significant crushability even under relatively high-stress levels. In addition, a 3D finite element analysis (FEA) is presented in this paper to study the degradation offshore pile capacity in CS having different percentages of BS. The stress–strain results using oedometer tests are compared with a numerical model, and it gave identical matching for most cases. The effects of pile diameter and embedment depth parameters are then studied for the case study on the northern coast. Three different mixing ratios of CS and BS have been used, CS + 10% BS, CS + 30% BS, and CS + 50% BS, which resulted in a decrease of the ultimate vertical compression pile load capacity by 8.8%, 15%, and 16%, respectively.

Wilayah pesisir Kabupaten Demak yang terletak di bagian utara Pantai Jawa merupakan yang rentan terhadap perubahan garis pantai. Perubahan yang serius ini perlu dilakukan pemantauan terus menurus. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memperoleh informasi tentang perubahan garis pantai yang disebabkan oleh tingkat abrasi dan akresi yang terjadi di Kecamatan Sayung, Kabupaten Demak pada tahun 2013-2020. Metode penelitian ini dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif studi kasus dengan menggunakan teknologi penginderaan jauh. Metode penginderaan jauh yang digunakan untuk mengetahui perubahan garis pantai adalah dengan metode overlay (tumpang susun) garis pantai pada tahun yang berbeda dan Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan garis pantai Kecamatan Sayung dengan panjang pantai 20.953,59 m, telah mengalami abrasi pantai seluas 141,49 ha dan akresi sebesar 36,61 ha. Sehingga persentase tingkat abrasi sebesar 82% dan akresi sebesar 18%. Secara keseluruhan, rata-rata laju abrasi yang terjadi dalam kurun waktu periode 2013-2020 adalah sebesar 13,08 meter/tahun dan laju akresi sebesar 8,22 meter/tahun. Perubahan garis pantai yang terjadi dari tahun 2013 hingga tahun 2020 lebih banyak mengalami abrasi jika dibandingkan dengan akresi. The coastal area of Demak Regency, which is located on the northern coast of Java, is  vulnerable to shoreline changes. This serious change is necessary for ongoing monitoring. This research was conducted to obtain information about coastline change in coastal Sayung District of Demak Regency in 2013 until 2020. This research method is done by using descriptive method of case study by using remote sensing technology. The remote sensing method used to determine shoreline changes is overlay method and Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) in different years. Based on the research results can be seen the rate of change of coastline length of 20.953,59 m, shoreline changes that occur in the form of abrasion of 141,49 ha and changes in the form of accretion of 36,61 ha. So that the proportion of the abrasion rate is 82% and the accretion is 18%.Overall, the average rate of abrasion that occurred in the 2013-2020 period was 13.08 meters / year and the accretion rate was 8.22 meters / year. Coastlines that occur from 2013 to 2020 more experienced abrasion process when compared to the accretion process.

One of the roads that is still a subscription to flooding in Surabaya when it rains is on Kedung Mangu road. Besides being close to the northern coast of Surabaya, Kedung Mangu road channel edge is still very small and a lot of trash and sediment. In this study the authors used secondary Gumbel method using the data from relevant agencies and secondary of data from observations in the field. Reviews These rainfall of data include the data, the data pool of the data the tide and the dimensions of the existing channels and other auxiliary buildings. From the data and the calculation, the value of the average rainfall is 93.41 mm / day. Rainfall intensity 25-year period is 47.949 mm / hour. While the flood discharge plan is 174.859 m3 / h. Its existing discharge chute is 100 908 m3 / h. From the Data Obtained tide high tide value of 150 cm occurred on December 13, 2016 and to its Lowest ebb -130 cm occurred on January 25, 2016. Thet Type of Surabaya's northern sea tides is the mixed tide. From the calculation and analysis can be concluded that the more influential is the amount of rainfall and dimensions and road conditions in the channel Kedung Mangu. So as to cope with floods In These locations, the dimensions of the channel should be enlarged.
