162 MEDIA KIT buffers against the sea, reducing potentially devastating 1.5-meter waves into harmless, centimeter-high ripples. The mangroves planted by the Red Cross protect 110 kilometers of the 3,000-kilometer sea dyke system that runs up and down Vietnam’s coastline. The VNRC, with fi nancial support from the Japanese and Danish Red Cross, plant four different species, which reach a height of 1.5 m after three years. The benefi ts are staggering. In fi nancial terms alone, the mangrove program proves that disaster preparedness pays. The planning and protection of 12,000 hectares of mangroves has cost around US$ 1.1 million, but has helped reduce the cost of dyke maintenance by US$ 7.3 million per year. In lives spared, one need only look to the dividend reaped during typhoon Wukong in October 2000. This typhoon pummeled three northern provinces, but left no damage to the dykes behind regenerated mangroves, and no deaths inland of the protected dykes. In the past, waves would breach the coastal dykes and fl ood the land of poor coastal families. As well as the lives, possessions and property saved from fl oods, the VNRC estimates that the livelihoods of 7,750 families have benefi ted from the replanting and protection of the mangrove forests. Family members can now earn additional income selling the crabs, shrimps and molluscs which mangrove forests harbor – as well as supplementing their diet. The presence of additional mangrove forests in a country that has seen them decimated in the last 50 years, due to shrimp farming, coastal development and chemical defoliants dropped during the Vietnam war, is crucial. As sea temperatures and levels rise, more severe typhoons

This risk has spurred the Red Cross to continue its investment in mangrove regeneration, despite continued threats from coastal shrimp farmers and developers. It is just as well. Those who live inland of sea dykes are a little less at the mercy of typhoons and storms now. And they hope to keep it that way.
