Philippine village uses bamboo and oyster shells to stop floods for two years

 Pamarawan village in the Philippines has embraced an innovative coastal defense system to tackle flooding challenges. This initiative incorporates natural materials such as bamboo poles, oyster shells, and coconut husks to fortify against powerful waves and prevent sediment displacement. Remarkably, there have been no flooding incidents reported for almost two years since the project’s inception, prompting officials to explore similar setups for other flood-threatened areas. Pamarawan village in the Philippines has embraced an innovative coastal defense system to tackle flooding challenges.
