Abstract
Many islands of various sizes exists along the central coastline of Vietnam; the islands play important roles in politics, national defense and sovereignty. In recent years, with higher population stress and impact of climate change and sea level rise (SLR), these islands withstand intensive disasters and frequent erosion with coastline retreat. This paper presents research output on erosional trends of the northern coastline of Ly Son island in Quang Ngai province, taking into account of sea-level rise. The research output, in programme KC.09/11-15, serves as a basis for planning, protection and sustainable development of Vietnamese islands in future
