CIMAG Pushes for Re-Shore Technology to Combat Ghana’s Coastal Erosion

The Executive Director of the Centre for International Maritime Affairs, Ghana (CIMAG), Mr. Albert Derrick Fiatui, has called on the government to adopt re-shore technology as a key strategy to combat coastal erosion. According to him, this approach is essential in reducing the energy of tidal waves while preserving the integrity of the coastal ecosystem.

Speaking on the maritime-focused current affairs program, Eye on Port, Mr. Fiatui expressed grave concern over the escalating threats facing Ghana’s coastline due to erosion and tidal wave destruction. He stressed that immediate and decisive action is needed to protect vulnerable communities, lives, and properties along the coast.

“Ghana’s coastline is seriously threatened, and if we don’t act now, we risk losing more communities,” he warned.

Reflecting on a nationwide tour undertaken in 2023 to engage coastal communities, Mr. Fiatui noted that several areas have already been washed away, with some communities no longer visible on the map due to the relentless encroachment of the sea. He described the situation as alarming, highlighting that entire settlements, once lively with activity, are now submerged.

One of the key issues exacerbating coastal erosion, according to Mr. Fiatui, is the destruction of mangroves. Local communities, unaware of the protective role of these plants, have been cutting them down for firewood, unknowingly worsening the effects of tidal waves. He emphasized that educating these communities on the importance of preserving mangroves is critical to combating the issue.

In response to the growing threat, Mr. Fiatui mentioned the West African Coastal Areas (WACA) initiative, which has secured funding to implement projects across West African nations, including Ghana. The initiative, he explained, would focus on reclamation efforts and coastal afforestation, particularly the planting of mangroves and coconut trees, which provide vital protection for the coastal ecosystem.

“We must encourage the planting of mangroves and coconut trees to protect our coastline. Mangroves, especially, have proven to be one of the most effective ways to mitigate tidal wave destruction,” he said, adding that locals should be compensated for planting and maintaining these trees to discourage further deforestation.

Beyond afforestation efforts, Mr. Fiatui advocated for the use of re-shore technology, which has been successfully implemented in countries like Taiwan. This green technology helps to weaken wave energy, reclaim sand from the sea, and, most importantly, causes no harm to the coastal environment.

“This is a proven solution that does not interfere with the natural coastal environment. It is time we learned from other countries that have succeeded in protecting their coastlines through sustainable technology,” Mr. Fiatui stated.
