Summary

Ha Long Bay's unique limestone topography and karst islands, recognized as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, face significant threats from erosion, collapse, and chemical corrosion due to wave action and seawater. These natural processes are degrading the beauty of this geological marvel, posing challenges for its conservation. The study provides critical data to support management strategies aimed at preserving these irreplaceable features. By analyzing the impacts of environmental factors on the site's geomorphology, researchers offer insights that can inform targeted conservation efforts.
