Abstract

Coastal reclamation projects are usually undertaken to obtain land due to the limitation of space and high value of terrestrial land. In many cases coastal reclamation projects face public objections and protests from environmentalists. Coastal reclamation projects still continue; some have even been extended and intensified. In spite of being assessed and evaluated by schemes such as Environmental Impact Assessment EIA coastal reclamation project can still lead to severe socio-ecological problems. The major problems are caused by three major contributing factors. These are unnecessary projects a lack of socio-economic impact assessment and ineffective Environmental Impact Assessment. This paper examines the socio-ecological problems caused by coastal reclamation projects and discusses the major factors contributing to these problems.
