SUMMARY Building the dike will seriously impacts on the Mangroves in Kien Giang coastal areas of the Mekong Delta. The average lost up to 6.6 million USD/year for the OP 1&2 and up to 8 million USD/year for the OP3 It needs to be carefully consider whether or not to buid the dike to conserver Mangrove forest and support aquaculture in the region.
