Exhibit 71<br />

Potential coastal flooding infrastructure or asset based countermeasures<br />

Measure<br />

Build dikes Permanently and absolutely hold back sea level in high-risk areas using 10 km-long, 4<br />

m-high coastal dike system<br />

Develop mangrove buffer<br />

Expand reef and<br />

sandbar system<br />

Build sea walls in strategic<br />

locations<br />

Create offshore<br />

breakwaters<br />

Nourish beaches<br />

Raise elevation of<br />

coastline<br />

Relocate existing<br />

infrastructure/housing in<br />

hazard zones<br />

Elevate all existing nearshore<br />

structures<br />

Elevate all new near-shore<br />

structures<br />

Description<br />

SOURCE: Team analysis; MNRE; UNESCO; UNEP; experts interviews<br />

Restore and expand natural coastal mangrove buffer to 100m thickness in order to<br />

dissipate wave energy and reduce flooding risk<br />

Restore reefs and/or build offshore sandbars to dissipate wave energy offshore and<br />

reduce flooding risk from storm surges<br />

Armor coastline with rock revetments in populated areas, to dissipate wave energy and<br />

prevent erosion<br />

Build concrete and rock structures offshore and parallel to coastline to reduce wave<br />

energy reaching shoreline<br />

Import or relocate sand from elsewhere in the islands or offshore to keep beaches at<br />

constant width despite erosion<br />

Build coastline upwards with material sourced from elsewhere on the islands (e.g. as in<br />

the Maldives)<br />

Move existing housing and commercial buildings in area of risk (below 4 m elevation) to<br />

higher elevation<br />

Modify existing near-shore structures below 4 m elevation to be elevated on 2 m high<br />

stilts, as in parts of SE Asia<br />

Continue to build in hazard zone, but require that all new structures be elevated on 2 m<br />

stilts, as in parts of SE Asia<br />

Inland flooding has been a sustained problem for the past 4 years<br />
