THE first of four studies looking at how specific parts of Singapore’s coastline can be better protected from sea-level rise will start this week.

The study, focusing on the south-eastern part of the island, will cover 57.8km of the coastline across three key areas – Changi, between the East Coast area and Marina Bay, and the Greater Southern Waterfront district – said national water agency PUB yesterday.
