Over 40 Houses Taken Over by Tidal Waves at Weija-Gbawe

In the coastal community of Kelee, within the Weija-Gbawe Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, more than 40 homes have been submerged by advancing tidal waves, leaving residents in fear of losing their entire settlement.Residents of the area have expressed growing concern over the sea’s encroachment, which has brought it dangerously close to their homes. At one point, the shoreline was over 400 meters away from the houses, but now it has rapidly moved inland, swallowing homes and even a school that once served the community. As a result, local schoolchildren have been forced to relocate to Wiaboman, a nearby town, to continue their education.Joseph Addy, one of the remaining residents, shared the distressing reality of his situation, explaining that the tidal waves are gradually eroding the walls of his home.

Sallakope’s Struggle: A Village Vanishing into the Sea

For decades, Sallakope in the Ketu South Municipality thrived as a vibrant fishing community. Fishermen returned home daily with abundant catches, and hunger was almost unheard of. However, the once-distant sea—previously 500 meters away—has now crept dangerously close, standing just nine meters from the village.Relentless tidal waves have swallowed large portions of the land, forcing many residents into makeshift shelters. This year alone, another wave displaced 50 people, leaving a remaining population of about 1,500 living in fear of further destruction.During a recent visit, Volta Regional Minister James Gunu and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) CEO Professor Nana Ama Brown Klutse saw firsthand the devastation.
