Stop Costal Erosion!
All over the small beach town of Buchanan, Liberia, there are signs that say “Stop Costal Erosion!”
I saw houses on the brink of being washed away, and others where one big wave had made neighbors into housemates – sharing the cramped housing that remained.
It was entirely unclear to me what was causing the erosion – pollution? climate change? Everyone I talked to agreed that it was a serious issue that needed be addressed by both government and NGOs, but no one could really articulate what needed to be done.
