Coastal forest to be planted to prevent tsunami

Japan's Lin Noda, in charge of forestry development, has decided to plant coastal shelterbelts to reduce the damage caused by the tsunami in the reconstruction of Japan after the earthquake Coastal shelterbelts were originally planted to prevent soil salinization and sand blowing However, after the tsunami caused by the Japanese earthquake, experts found that as long as the coastal shelterbelts are deep enough, they can prevent the damage of ships and debris to houses and slow down the speed of sea water rushing Linye hall is going to summarize the survey results on the relationship between coastal shelter forest and tsunami disaster before June, and consider using coastal shelter forest to contain tsunami in Shizuoka county and other places that are likely to have submarine earthquake in the future At present, the proposed schemes include: constructing 10-20-meter-high mound on the relevant coast, planting trees on the mound; planting coastal protection forest and opening up agricultural land in the coastal area as a tsunami buffer zone, and then building mound in the inland for the protection of residential areas Lin hopes that some of these programs will be reflected in the government's reconstruction plan.
