According to the National Disaster Management Organization, tidal surges have devoured nearly 400 kilometers of Ghana's coast out of 550 kilometers.
It is obvious that if nothing is done, the next 150 kilometers would be buried as well.
Tidal waves have had varying degrees of influence on communities in the Volta, Greater Accra, and Western Regions in recent years.
On Sunday, April 3rd, the Ketu-South Municipality was affected, with houses and property inundated. Prior to Sunday's calamity, several residents in the municipality had a similar disaster a few weeks earlier but refused to evacuate despite being evacuated by the authorities.
On the same Sunday, houses in Apklabanya, Ada West District, Greater Accra Region, were also swamped by tidal surges.
The pounding waves also ravaged Anlo Beach, a village of approximately 600 inhabitants in the Sharma District of the Western Region, where hundreds of houses were washed away overnight, including the region's lone Primary School building.
Mattresses, old clothing, water, and food supplies, among other things, were sent to the devastated victims in these towns by NADMO.
Addressing a meeting of chiefs and citizens at Anlo Beach, NADMO Director General Eric Nana Agyeman Prempeh disclosed that increasing areas of the country's shoreline had been flooded by the roaring sea waves.
